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.
