Medina pushed across a run in the bottom of the eighth inning to nip Holley 8-7 in a non league softball game at Vets Park this evening.

Molly Cook singled in the winning run in the eighth for the Mustangs.

Holley had rallied to tie the game at 7-7 by scoring four times in the top of the seventh on a wild pitch, a two-run triple by Teanna Church and an RBI single by Layne Walker.

Medina had built up the 7-3 lead by scoring in each of the first five innings.

The Mustangs scored once in the first on an RBI single by Lila Class, twice in the second on a wild pitch and an error, twice in the third on a two-run single by Taylor Frentz, once in the fourth on a single by Lorelei Sanders and once in the fifth as Eva Lacy tripled and came home on a double by Iyla Lilleby.

Medina next hosts Albion in a Niagara-Orleans League contest at 4:45 p.m. Friday.
