Newfane pushed across a run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning to nip visiting Albion 6-5 in a Niagara-Orleans League baseball game this afternoon.

Tyler Oudette singled in the winning run for Newfane which improves to 2-0.

However, Albion came battling back to knot the contest at 5-5 by scoring three times in the fifth and once in the sixth.

Amari Jones and Bailey Blanchard both had run producing singles in the fifth inning as a single by Austin Aman and two walks loaded the bases to set up the threat. In the sixth, Adrian Kingdollar singled, stole second and came home on an RBI double by Amari Jones.

The Purple Eagles did get a runner to second in the top of the seventh but couldn’t score.

The two teams will meet again at Albion on Friday afternoon.
