Lackawanna Trail staged a thrilling late-inning comeback to edge Montrose 8-6 on Monday afternoon, using a five-run outburst in the bottom of the sixth to turn the tide and secure the win.
Down 6-3 heading into their half of the sixth, the Lady Lions showed grit and discipline at the plate, capitalizing on walks and timely hits to flip the game in their favor. Aquinniah Lawrence led the charge with a hit, a run, and an RBI, while Aubrie Pinney came through in the clutch with a pair of hits and two RBIs. Kate Jones also added a key two-hit performance with an RBI to help fuel the offense.
Madison Pietrzak went the distance in the circle for Lackawanna Trail, tossing all seven innings and limiting damage despite giving up seven hits. Her control was sharp, walking none and allowing only one earned run while striking out two.
Montrose opened the scoring with three runs across the first three innings and added insurance late, but their six-run effort wasn’t enough to hold off Lackawanna Trail’s sixth-inning surge. Kyleise Kublo and Myckenna Kublo each collected two hits for the Meteors, and Ally Legg added two RBIs.
The win marks a bounce-back performance for Lackawanna Trail after recent tough losses and moves them to 5-3 on the season, with momentum heading into the latter part of the schedule.
