Lady Lions continue offensive rampage, collect 24 hits including Cowburn’s 4th homer in team’s 21-6 rout of Addison in Sunday matinee

ADDISON — So far this season, the Lady Lions of Wellsville have put on an overwhelming display of power at the plate. Last night was the latest edition of scorching hot offense, as they combined to record just over 30 hits in their Saturday twinbill over Addison and Clymer/Sherman at Tullar Field.

24 hours later and a trip to Addison to complete the home-at-home, the Lady Lions would do it all over again by recording a season-high 24 hits, beginning with a red hot opening frame that saw them set the tone immediately against the host Lady Knights, as they went on to coast towards their seventh win in the last eight games in a 21-6 count.

Wellsville (10-2) made their presence felt in their first at-bats on the afternoon, accounting for an eight-run tenure that would see them buckle into the driver’s seat the remainder of the way, as they would account for at least a run across the first five innings. Of those innings — a five-run fifth led by Makenzie Cowburn’s fourth home run of the season, a two-run blast.

Cowburn was one of five different Lady Lions that recorded at least three hits at the plate, recording four and driving in four runs. Sawyer Burke added in more additional runs, while Emma Dunaway and Marissa Ordway collected three hits and drove in three runs each. Furthering the cause was Lindsay Stuck, who went a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. Brazen Beckwith also collected three hits and two RBI, and Makenna Dunbar rounded off with two hits.

In the circle, Ordway went the distance and finished with 10 strikeouts and three walks to earn the victory for the visitors.

“Marissa threw a very nice game tonight. It was very warm today, and she battled through it. Brazen and Lindsay did a nice job catching as they’ve done all season long.” Lady Lions coach Matt Burke said.

The Lady Lions are right back on the field tonight back home, as they host Otto-Eldred in a 6 p.m. first pitch at Tullar Field.
