In a game heard on WEZC and online at dewittdailynews.com, Thea Key's leadoff home run was all Madison Highland needed as she went the distance in circle, leading Monticello to a 6-0 win over Westville in non-conference high school softball action on Tuesday in Monticello.
Key blasted a home run to left field in the bottom of the first inning.
Highland took from there. The junior struck out four and permitted five hits to zero walks over seven shutout frames.
Key reached base via walks in her next three plate appearances. Cassidee Stoffel was 2-for-3 with an RBI double. Highland, Sadie Walsh, and Ali Weidner added RBI hits in a four-run fifth inning that broke the game open for Monticello.
Highland was the State Bank of Bement player of the game.
Monticello visits Bloomington Central Catholic on Thursday.
