Marion Harding scored the game’s first two, but the visiting Buckeye Valley softball team responded with 10 unanswered runs in the middle innings to roll to an 11-4 win Tuesday in Marion.

The Barons (6-8) erased their early deficit with a three-run second before adding three more in the third and four in the fourth to all but seal the deal.

Lisa Leienberger powered the Buckeye Valley offense with a home run and two RBI. Other BV standouts included Dariyen Best, who finished a perfect 3-for-3 with a pair of runs; Lane Graham, who had a couple hits to go with two RBI and two runs scored; Rylee George, who had two hits and two RBI; and Cora Hollingsworth, who had a hit to go with her team-leading three RBI.
