Splitting a pair of two-game series with Ardmore and Marietta provided one of the best weeks of the season for the Madill High School baseball squad a week ago. Coach Jared Hayes’ club forged an 8-6 extra inning triumph over Ardmore for its first district victory ahead of an 11-0 defeat in game two. They followed up with a 3-2 win at Marietta before falling to the Indians by a 12-8 count in a high-scoring second faceoff. The Wildcats will visit Sulphur for the Class 4A regional tournament this week where they will join Kingfisher and Woodward in the field for the double elimination event. Madill had to rally from a 4-3 deficit with a pair of runs in the sixth inning but it took a three-run burst in the eighth for the final difference. They cashed in singles from Layne Doher and Derwin Sanchez along with three passes for the Wildcats’ first tally in the second frame, Jagger Rogers singled and came around to score in the third and added a Tyner Roberts RBI hit in the fourth to stay within striking distance. Roberts and Rogers notched the initial hits in the sixth to get things rolling with runs coming across on RBIs from Daquan Williams and Rankin Page. Ardmore knotted the game in the bottom of the seventh ahead of a big two-out flurry by the Wildcats in the top of the eighth. Williams and Page drew free passes and Doher delivered a double for the first run. Sanchez followed with a single that scored two. The Tigers posted a run and had the tying runs aboard in the bottom of the frame when Cooper McHatton slammed the door with a strikeout to claim the pitching win. He worked the final four frames, yielding two runs on five hits and fanned seven. Madill finished the game with 10 hits led by three from Rogers. Sanchez, Roberts and Doher all had two hits with another from Jayse Thompson.
