MEQUON, WISC. - The Madison College softball team will finish the 2017 regular season with its most wins ever in North Central Community College Conference play after a pair of wins at Milwaukee Area Technical College on Tuesday. Win of 12-0 and 12-1, both in five innings, pushed the WolfPack to 13-5 in league games to finish one win better than the 12-5 mark posted in 2015. The two wins also give the 'Pack a 10-4 record on the road and extend their current win streak to six games.

Game #1: Madison College 12, Milwaukee Area Technical College 0 (5 innings)

Madison College jumped out a ten-run lead on the Stormers after posting five runs in each of the first two innings. After a pair of walks started the game, sophomore first baseman Brooke Heck smacked a triple to center that scored Breanna Bollig and Ashley Burg for a 2-0 edge. Ali Braddock followed with a single to score Heck, who then raced around from first when Bailey Kratt also hit a triple to the centerfield wall. Katelin Gilbertson's single through the left side easily scored Kratt to finish the scoring surge.

In the second, Heck crushed another triple, this time going opposite field to left, and jogged in to score on Ali Braddock's second RBI single. Three batters later and with the bases loaded, sophomore Samantha Yaeger doubled on a grounder up the middle to score Braddock and Kratt. It became 10-0 when Yaeger touched home on Kortni Grenawalt's bloop single.

Heck's monster day continued in the third with a solo home run over the centerfield wall. The former Beaver Dam High School standout went 36 games between hitting her first and second home runs of the season. Adding to the long ball tally was Gilbertson in the fourth with a solo shot of her own, tying her with Breanna Bollig for the team-lead at four.

The WolfPack outhit Milwaukee 16-2, led by three-hit efforts from Heck and Kratt, while four others also had multiple hits. Heck also drove in three runs and scored three runs, matching a season-high for the latter. Braddock wasn't far off the pace, finishing with a pair of runs scored and batted in.

While the offense was piling up hits and runs, the Madison College pitchers were busy dealing a shutout. Starter Emily Wiederholt (8-2) allowed only two hits and struck out seven batters in three innings. Fellow freshman Mackenzie Terrill struck out five, but did issue four walks, in her two innings of hitless relief.

Game #2: Madison College 12, Milwaukee Area Technical College 1 (5 innings)

Game two presented the first pitching opportunity of the year for Samantha Yaeger, and sophomore did not disappoint. Making her first career start and fourth ever appearance, the Madison, Wisconsin, native tossed five innings and allowed one run on six hits. Yaeger did not walk a single batter and struck out a career-best nine batters.

A three-run first inning also meant that Yaeger was always pitching with the lead. Freshman Ashley Burg got the ball rolling in a big way with a solo home run to right field for her first collegiate homer. Later in the inning, a passed ball scored Bre Feiler and an error allowed Bailey Kratt to cross home.

After Yaeger allowed her lone run - scored by former WolfPack infielder and Poynette, Wisconsin, native Brittany Kaltenberg - in the bottom half, Madison College made it 8-1 with five more runs in the second. Feiler hit a two-run double up the middle one batter ahead of Kratt ripping a run-scoring double deep to center. Then Yaeger helped her own cause with a two-RBI triple to left.

Burg tacked on another run batted in with a triple in the third, plating Breanna Bollig. And in the fourth, pitcher-turned-centerfielder Hannah Wienen earned her first career RBI on a fielder's choice. Lindsey Bollig finished the scoring with a double to left, the 14th of 15 extra base hits on the day, scoring Emme Hilbert and Wienen.

Five players enjoyed multi-hit games, led by Feiler's 3-for-4 tally. The former Monona Grove High School athlete had two runs scored and two driven in, as did fellow first year Ashley Burg.
