Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mark Twain). They blew past Van-Far 13-3 on Thursday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win the Tigers have posted since October 2, 2023.
Ella Moss was incredible, going 4-for-5 with a home run, six RBI, and two stolen bases. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in hits. Another player making a difference was Shaelyn Shepherd, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Mark Twain was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .379. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Madison suffered a grim 14-8 defeat to Mark Twain when the teams last played back in September of 2023. Will Madison have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
