MADISON-GRANT WINS SCHOOL’S FIRST EVER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

6/14/2009

Madison-Grant wins the school’s first ever state championship title in today’s 2A softball state finals tournament defeating Linton-Stockton, 1-0, who was also making their first appearance. 

 

Linton-Stockton threatened in the 2nd when they advanced runners to second and third with one out.  But Madison-Grant’s senior pitcher Sara Webster was able to escape the inning by getting the next two batters to fly out.

 

In the bottom of the fifth, sophomore Kailey Leckron scored the only run for Madison-Grant when she entered the game as a pinch runner for senior catcher Bonnie Parker who drew a walk off of Linton-Stockton’s pitcher Stephanie Fougerousse.  Junior designated player Sydney Holland sacrificed with a bunt advancing Leckron to second.  An ensuing single to center field by junior Shelby Wells brought Leckron home. 

 

The Miners again challenged Madison-Grant in the top of the 6th when senior first baseman Izzy Carpenter doubled to left center.  Junior Kylie Niebrugge replaced Carpenter as a pinch runner and advanced to third on a ground ball from junior third baseman Jenica Ringo.  Madison-Grant ended the Linton-Stockton threat when senior third baseman Sam Yeagy made a nice catch of a foul ball to end the inning.

 

Linton-Stockton kept the Argylls at bay, not allowing a hit in the bottom of the 6th, but the Miners were unable to capitalize in the top of the 7th as they were retired in order. Linton-Stockton finished the season with a record of 21-6.  The Miners were led by 6th year head coach Jill Flater. 

 

The Argylls and 15-year head coach Jay Dunlap finished their season 23-6.
