Cottonwood 3,

Madison 2 (12 inn.) 

COTTONWOOD — A Jordan Fischer single line-drive RBI to left field in the bottom of the 12th inning scored Cain Herigon from third base, and gave Cottonwood a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Madison Mallards on Saturday. 

The Cardinals and Mallards were tied 1-1 for seven innings before Madison scored the potential winning run in the top of the 12th inning with a Wyatt Halvorson homer run on a fly ball over center field for the 2-1 edge. 

Yet, Cottonwood’s Herigon doubled on a line drive to right field to get on base and advanced to third off a Taiven Isaackson sacrifice bunt. 

With Fischer up to the plate, he watched the first pitch come through for a ball before the game-winning hit to bring home Herigon and end the game. 

Both teams had eight hits on the night, while Madison had two errors to Cottonwood’s clean slate. 

For the Cardinals, Noah Jensen and Seth Boerboom led with two hits a piece. 

Boerboom pitched all 12 innings, and tossed seven strikeouts with one walk. 

On Madison’s side, Carter Amland had a team-high two hits. Halvorson and Dylan Keimig each accounted for one run. 

Cottonwood (5-1) will look for its fourth straight win when it travels to Minneota (5-1) on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. 

Madison (3-3) will stay on the road and take on Dumont on Friday at 8 p.m.
