The softball team battled hard but dropped a close one last night 2 to 1 in a non conference match up with SHG. Emma Marcum hit a triple in the 2nd inning and scored a run and Morgan Leininger and Bella Pagliara each earned a hit. Mia Volpert struck 9 in the loss.
The baseball team gave a solid effort, but came up short in a 2 to nothing loss to SH-G at their place last night. Brody Scheffler threw another gem in going the distance to limit the Cyclones to 3 hits while striking out 6 and walking only 1. Tyler Elliott led the way at the plate with 2 of the 6 Senator hits. Next up is a Saturday doubleheader against East Peoria at Lanphier Park on Saturday starting at 10.
And Now the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
