It came down to the wire in Friday’s Senior Night game as the Benjamin Logan softball team grabbed a victory in walk-off fashion. The Lady Raiders came from behind three runs in the bottom of the 7th inning to win 6-5 against London. Several players contributed to the team’s overall success.
Bailee Stover led the Lady Raiders with a double, a game-winning triple, and three RBIs. Keeli Rostorfer also had a big night as the lead-off went 3-4 scoring twice and driving in two runs. Brooks Myers doubled and drove in a run, while Skylar Miracle, Tanna Jacobs, and Courtney Bowers each singled.
A huge seventh inning was sparked by a lead-off walk from Miracle, followed by a hit from Kyndal Cronkleton, and a walk by Chloe Crumm to load the bases. When Benjamin Logan turned over the lineup, Keeli Rostorfer hit and drove in two runs to bring Benjamin Logan within one. Bailee Stover then tripled to score Rostorfer and Crumm ending the game with a 6-5 win.
