Tigerettes defeat defending champs in walk off fashion

THRALL — The Thrall Tigerettes varsity softball team walked off with a 12-11 victory over the defending district champions Franklin on Tuesday, March 10, as freshman Reese Madsen scored on a ground ball and an errant throw in the bottom of the seventh inning.

“I never had any doubt that our team would come back and win. We have been doing that all season long,” head coach Matt Pokorny said. “I am just super proud of these girls. They never stopped believing that they could win this game, and they did.”

The Tigerettes entered the seventh inning leading 10-3, but the Lions scored eight unanswered runs to take an 11-10 lead heading into Thrall’s final three outs.
