Baseball Recap: Madison County Starts off Right with Win over Jefferson County

Madison County took care of business in their home opener on Tuesday (and then some). Everything went their way against the Jefferson County Tigers as the Madison County Cowboys made off with a 24-1 victory. That's more bragging rights for the Cowboys, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Aiden Herring looked comfortable as he struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and only one walk).

On the hitting side, Madison County got a massive performance out of Kannon Plain, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and three RBI. The dominant performance gave Plain a new career-high in runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Dalton McNutt, who scored four runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Madison County has already played their next contest (against Trenton), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Jefferson County will head out on the road to take on Aucilla Christian at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Jefferson County comes in still looking for their first win of the season.
