The scorekeeper got an easy start on Monday as neither Clinton nor Plymouth Christian Academy made it on the board until the seventh inning. The Redwolves came out on top against the Eagles by a score of 4-1.

Ashlynn Benschoter spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on three hits and racked up eight Ks.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Annabell Preston, who went 3-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Calli Kruger, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.

Madison has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-4 record this season. As for Clinton, their victory bumped their record up to 9-5.

Madison skirted past Clinton 5-4 when the teams last played back in April of 2018. Will the Trojans repeat their success, or do the Redwolves have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
