The Madrid softball team earned a much-needed victory Saturday, June 7, at their home tournament. 

The Tigers defeated Colfax-Mingo, 4-2, behind a balanced offensive effort and a dominant pitching performance from Mayzie Surratt. 

Madrid struck early, scoring in each of the first three innings to build a 4-0 lead. 

Samantha Springer and Rylee Borcheding each had a hit, scored a run, and drove in one. 

Hailey Renslow added an RBI, while Savannah Bradley, Tilly Sweet, and Surratt each contributed a hit. 

Surratt went the distance with a complete game and racked up 10 strikeouts to secure the win. 

Colfax-Mingo managed to score one run in the fourth and another in the sixth but couldn’t overcome Madrid’s early surge.  

The win improved Madrid’s record to 2-7, while Colfax-Mingo dropped to 0-7. 

The Tigers travel to Ogden (6-4) for a West Central Conference matchup at 7 p.m. tonight.
