MARATHON – Erin Griesbach hit a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to break open a tie game and lift the Auburndale softball team to an 8-4 win over Marathon on Tuesday at Marathon High School.
The game was tied 4-4 before Griesbach’s long ball started a four-run rally for the Eagles. Ashlyn Grimm finished off the win with a scoreless seventh.
Mya Krings had a double and a triple and drove in two runs, and Griesbach also had two RBI for Auburndale (10-3, 6-3 Marawood Conference South Division).
