@Alex_Gandy It wasn’t just that graphic. The broadcast kept getting our name wrong. They mispronounced our head coach’s name during introductions. Bit of a gong show today.

[Rob Mallory @rmallory10]

It’s the World Series. 8 teams left. It would be great if we could get the name of the participating schools correct. Kind of a big deal for our institutions and programs.

This was just 1 of at least 3 ridiculous catches Maddie made this week during regionals. But this one was special.

WATCH: An UNREAL home run robbery from @MSSUSoftball's Maddie Rolfs in center field! 🤯

Rolfs got it done in the field and at the plate, ending her day 2-4 with 1 run scored and 1 RBI. 👏
