PERU -- The Champlain Valley Athletic Conference Division I girls' softball race got even more interesting Friday.

Peru scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to rally and knock off division-leading Saranac. 13-11.

The outcome left the Chiefs at 9-3 and tied for first with Northeastern Clinton, with Beekmantown a game back.

The game was tied at 9-all entering the top of the sixth when Saranac went up by two when Carissa Fournia singled and Jessica Myers hit a two-run homer.

But, in the bottom of the sixth, the Indians (6-6) took advantage of four Saranac errors and Connie Mandeville's two-run single capped a four-run uprising.

Winning pitcher Morgan Flynn and Kelly Kezar led Peru with two hits each, while Jessica Ewald and Keely Dew hit solo home runs.

Carissa Fournia led the Chiefs with three hits, including a triple, while Kaleigh Rasco and Myers followed with two hits each. Amber O'Connell took the loss in relief.
