Jumping out to a quick four run first inning lead, Medina went on to defeat Albion 8-4 this afternoon in a Niagara-Orleans League softball game at Vets Park.

A bases clearing three-run double by Abi Smith keyed the decisive first inning uprising for Medina. Three walks loaded the bases to set up the threat.

The Mustangs went on to open up as much as a 7-1 lead by scoring twice in the third inning on an error and a single by Destiny Satkowski and once in the fourth as winning pitcher Emily Kams doubled and came home on a fielders choice play.

In the circle, Kams allowed 5 hits and struck out 16.

Defensively, the Mustangs turned a double play in the fifth inning from catcher Davina Birch to second baseman Haylee Cogovan.

Blanked on one hit through the first five innings, Albion got back into the game by scoring four times in the sixth inning highlighted by a three-run home run by Meghan Hurley.

However, the Purple Eagles could get no closer than 7-4.
