MADISON, WISC. - With every consecutive win, the Madison College softball team further adds to their historic win streak, which now stands at 14 straight after a pair of resounding wins over in-state rival Milwaukee Area Technical College on Tuesday, April 24 at
Robert D. Goodman Softball Field. The WolfPack, who jumped back to #9 in the newest
NJCAA Division II Poll to match the highest ranking in program history, wasted little time in sweeping the North Central Community College Conference doubleheader by scores of 12-0 and 13-0 in five-inning, run-rule games that extended their winning streak to 14.
Game #1: #9 Madison College 12, Milwaukee Area Technical College 0 (5 innings)
Madison College seized an early lead in the opener with a five-run first inning highlighted by run-scoring extra base hits from freshmen
Olivia Bancroft-Hart,
Kylie Endres, and
Nicole Ferch. Five more runs on six hits, a walk, and an error in the third put the game out of reach.
First year outfielder
Morgyn DeLara, a native of Delavan, Wisconsin, led the offensive charge with a 3 for 3 effort at the plate that produced two RBI and a run scored.
Ali Braddock, a sophomore from Waukesha, Wisconsin, drove in a team-high three runs, and former Poynette HS athlete
Maegan Brookins reached base and scored on three separate occasions.
Mackenzie Terrrill, a righthanded sophomore, held the Stormers to just two hits while striking out eight batters to push her unblemished record to an impressive 9-0 in 16 appearances.
Game #2: #9 Madison College 13, Milwaukee Area Technical College 0 (5 innings)
The numbers and storyline for the nightcap played out in a pretty similar fashion as Madison College (36-7) raced out to a 6-0 advantage in the first inning.
Morgyn DeLara drove in the final three runs on an inside-the-park home run to right field. Five hits, including three for extra bases, in the third allowed four more runs to come in before the WolfPack finished off their scoring with a three-spot in the fourth.
All nine position players recorded at least one hit, led by
Ali Braddock's 3 for 3 game with three runs batted in and one runs scored. Batters two through eight combined to go 15 for 19 with 11 runs scored and 12 driven in. DeLara continued her productive afternoon with career-highs of four RBI and three runs scored, as well as her first round-tripper of her career.
