Corning edges Manila with late three-run rally
Tuesday, May 2, 2017
It took two days to decide a winner between Manila and Corning in their first round matchup of the 3A District Softball Tournament at Corning. The Lady Lions and the host Bobcats began play Tuesday afternoon and battled to a 3-3 tie before darkness halted play after five innings. The two squads resumed action Wednesday morning and played two scoreless innings before Manila grabbed a 5-3 advantage, picking up two runs in the top of the eighth inning. But the Lady Bobcats answered, scoring three runs in the bottom of the frame to hand the Lady Lions a heartbreaking 6-5 defeat, ending Manila’s season.
