The Maroons jumped on Henderson early, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. Alex Richards and Lane Faulk had the big hits in the inning.
After Henderson cut the lead to 3-1 in the top of the third, the Maroons dropped the hammer in the bottom half of the inning, scoring four times to run the lead out to 7-1. Evan Lear and Lane Faulk did a chunk of the damage in the inning.
Alex Richards finished 1-3 with 2 RBIs. Lane Faulk was 2-3 with 2 RBIs. Evan Lear ended up 2-3 with 2 RBIs.
Madisonville-North Hopkins improves to 18-11 with the win.
