Five returnees anchor the lineup for the Lyndonville softball team which is prepping to defend its Genesee Region League Division 2 title.
The Lady Tigers veteran quintet includes senior Kayli Miller (Outfield), junior Addie Dillenbeck (Catcher/Outfield), sophomores Bella Groves (Infield) and Brooke Robinson (Pitcher/Infield) and eighth grader Alexa Robinson (Outfield). Dillenbeck earned G-R All-Star honors last spring.
Lyndonville is also looking to freshman Hannah Fox and seventh grader Braelynn Dillenbeck to help out with the pitching duties.
“We’ve got a really young team,” said Coach Joe Moore. “It depends on our pitching. A big key is for us to gain confidence. Right now we just lack experience so it’s really important to get some games in and get some experience.”
The Lady Tigers main graduation losses included G-R All-Stars Haley Shaffer (Pitcher/Catcher), Lorelei Dillenbeck (Shortstop/Pitcher) and Brianna Krisher (Third base).
Lyndonville, which went 10-3 in the league and 15-4 overall, is scheduled to begin tuning up for the April 9 G-R opener at Elba by hosting Wilson at 5 p.m. Thursday in a non league contest.
