THEY SAID IT
"Any time you beat Chatham, it's a big win for Madison. I wasn't expecting anything different; [Chatham] swings the bat. They beat a very good pitcher from Parsippany [on Monday], they scored seven runs off of him and we knew they could swing the bats, and we knew it might come down to that even in the last inning."–Head Coach Mickey Ennis
