Easter weekend brought the nicest weather that we’ve seen so far in 2023, so it was a perfect time for some Madison College home softball games. The softball team entered the Good Friday doubleheader against Sauk Valley Community College with a record of 8-12.

Despite some wind it was a beautiful afternoon for softball, and Madison College responded with a 15-0 win in the first game of a doubleheader against Sauk Valley College on April 7.
