MADISON COUNTY DEFEATS GUNTERSVILLE, DESPITE 9 CAT HITS

The offense continues to make strides as the Wildcats belted 9 hits, but fielding errors, baserunning blunders proved to be costly tonight at the GHS Wildcat Softball Stadium. 

The Tigers took a leadoff walk and combined that with Wildcat fielding error to put the first run of the game on the board in the first.  Mallori Armstrong singled in the second and Ariel Townson reached on the second Wildcat error of the game.  Armstrong would score on the error, and Townson would score on a Kara Craig grounder to make the score 3-0 Tigers.

In the Wildcat third, Chloe Whitaker reached on the first of her three singles for the game.  Beverly McDonald doubled to score Whitaker and close the gap to 3-1. 

Kara Craig doubled to lead off the 5th for the Tigers and scored two batters later as Denise Crawford singled to right center field.  Crawford scored on McCulley's single to extend the Tiger lead to 5-1.  In the bottom of the fifth, Whitaker led off with a single and Harden followed with a walk.  Beverly McDonald came to the plate with a steady breeze in her face--a breeze that proved costly as the rocket she hit to deep center field hung in the air a bit too long and Jenna McCulley ran in down at the warning track.  Any other day it would have been a 3-run shot, but not today.  Harden was doubled up on the play to end the inning. 

In the bottom of the 7th, the Wildcats rally began with Chloe Whitaker's third single of the day.  Harden followed with a single, and Beverly McDonald blasted her second double of the day to drive in runs 2 and 3 for the day.  5-3 was as close as the Cats could get and Madison County escaped with the victory. 

The Wildcats fall to 7-12 on the season and will travel to Arab Tuesday.  Game time is set for 4:30.
