Strong fifth inning lead to Benjamin Russell win

File / TPI Benjamin Russell takes advantage of fifth inning miscues in a win over Clay Central on Wednesday.

It seemed grim for the Benjamin Russell softball team through the first four innings against Clay Central. That was all until the fifth inning happened. 

The Wildcats pulled away with a 9-4 victory over the Volunteers, with all nine runs coming in the fifth frame. Hits were scarce for the Wildcats, even with those late-game heroics — finishing with only two on the day.Â
