Mundelein is one of several North Suburban Conference teams playing high-caliber softball. The Mustangs started the week 12-3 and 4-1 in NSC action.
Mundelein beat Warren for the first time in four-plus years and maybe six years, coach Kat McCreery noted.
The Wildcats started the week on a four-game winning streak and sat at 13-7 overall and 6-1 in North Suburban Conference action. During those four wins , Libertyville outscored its opponents by a combined 55-15. "Finnley continues to battle and sets such a good example for Taylor," Ferrell said."Finn and Taylor are two of the most competitive, mentally tough kids I have coached. Neither is intimidated by the moment and have great mound poise and presence."
In a 9-5 win over Grant, Angelina Perez was 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and 3 RBI. Camryn Vawter was 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a homer and 2 RBI. Jackson was the winning pitcher. She struck out 11. Antioch update: It's been business as usual for Antioch, which defeated Grant and Wauconda in recent Northern Lake County Conference games to move to 16-0 overall and 5-0 in conference action.
Antioch's pitching staff has a 1.07 ERA, while the Sequoits' defense has a .986 fielding percentage and has allowed 3 stolen bases. "The reason we have been perfect so far and beaten some of the top 4A schools in the state is because we have come out with high energy whenever we face a challenge," Rocco said."We are also getting big performances from somebody different every game."
King was leading the Corsairs with a .512 batting average to start the week. Brown was at .488, while Novak was hitting .425 and Krogman was at .417, while Rapplean was hitting .409."What I like the most about our team is the fight and effort they show every game," Carmel coach Kelli Layton said."They fight and play hard until the final out. They focus on keeping it simple and make it their goal to win each inning.
In the Glenbrook win, Eliza Piggott went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and 4 RBI, and also scored 2 runs. Angela Ayala went 2-for-4 with a double and 2 RBI . Zalei Gryb went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI. "The team has greatly improved on defense over the past two weeks, and our pitchers have done a good job keeping us in games," Central coach Jim Plaza said."The offense has started to click, and we are taking much better at-bats as a team. The middle of the order has been driving the ball consistently, and we have done a much better job putting pressure on the opposing defense, even against solid pitching. The girls have developed the mindset that they can compete with anybody.
