Sandburg High School Freshman records set during 2011 season: Caroline Kuzel (14UGK) sets strike record on the mound with 109. Karli McLaughlin (14UGK) hits 9 triples to break the record held by Dakota Hampton and Brooke Heimrl (14USW)
Lincoln-Way West 15, Bradley-Bourbonnais 5 (6 innings)
Erin Miller (14UGK) (6-5; 6 IP, 5 H, 5 SO) led West (11-11, 4-5 Southwest Suburban).
In game one, Tarah McShane (18U-SS)had a home run and 2 RBIs.
Tarah McShane's walkoff home run in the seventh gave St. Edward (8-7, 6-2 Suburban Christian) the victory.
Tarah McShane was 3-for-4 with 2 doubles, 2 runs and 4 RBIs.
Bri Clark (18U-Gold) was 4-for-4 with a triple, a home run and 6 RBIs for Marian Catholic (9-4, 2-0). Alex Nickel was 2-for-4 with a triple and 2 RBIs, and Rachel Glenn (18U-Gold) struck out 9 on the mound in the win.
Hannah Jenkins (18U-SS) chipped in an RBI double and a brilliant backhand catch and throw on a sharply hit ball to the hole at short.With first base open, the Porters passed on giving LeBeau a free one. LeBeau responded with a rope down the right-field line for a two-run double. Jenkins followed with another two-bagger to make it 3-1.
“It’s all about confidence for me,” Jenkins said. “I know that I can do it, and I go up there swinging every time. Bri is an excellent hitter. Sometimes it’s hard to follow her, but I try to rise to the challenge and I usually get it done.”
No. 5 Richards 4, Reavis 2: Hannah Jennings (18U-SS) two-run double broke a tie in the bottom of the sixth for host Richards (14-0, 12-0) in the South Suburban Red.

Stagg 3 - Homewood Flossmoor 1
After Kleinhow walked the opening two batters of the second inning, Vikings’ coach Katie Rice-Hoger replaced her with junior star (Sarah Burke (16U-SW). The junior star quickly nullified the Chargers’ attack, striking out 11 and allowing just one hit in the final six innings.
Rice-Hoger did not second-guess her decision to not start Burke. “You can’t pitch her every game, and that’s hindsight,” she said.
Richards 20, Crete-Monee 5: Hannah Jenkins (18U-SS) powered Richards (9-0) to victory going 4-for-4 with a homer and 4 RBI.
Hannah Jenkins (18U-SS) (2-for-4, 3 RBI) led an active offense as Richards improved to 8-0 overall, 6-0 in conference. “We’re all pretty solid hitters,” said Jenkins, who walloped a two-run home run in the seventh. “We always focus on the ball first, and we get in the runs when we need to.”LeBeau got some breathing room in the fifth thanks to a two-run outburst that featured RBI singles by Jenkins and Kaminski. LeBeau drew a walk in the seventh and was sacrificed to second by Kappel (16U-FY) before Jenkins launched an 0-and-1 pitch over the left-field fence.
◊Lincoln-Way East 5, Marist 3: Kaycee Hart (16U-SB) (6-0) pitched a complete game in the Lincoln-Way East (7-0) victory. She also hit a 3 run homer and scored two runs.
◊Lincoln-Way East 19, Thornridge 0: Nicole Miskowicz (16U-SB) hit a home run and a double and racked up four RBI for Lincoln-Way East (5-0).
◊Oak Forest 13, Lena -Winslow: Calie Delisi (14U-JT) had three RBI in the victory for the Bengals.

◊Lincoln-Way East 7, Minooka 1: Kaycee Hart (16U-SB) was the winning pitcher, striking out six and going 2-for-3 from the plate with an RBI.
◊No. 10 Richards 3, T.F. South 2: Breanna Kaminski’s double in the bottom of the sixth scored Danielle Kappel (16UFY) with the winning run for host Richards (2-0, 1-0) in the South Suburban crossover. Kappel (double) and Brianna LeBeau (triple) also had RBI for the Bulldogs.
Jarrell’s four RBI led Lincoln-Way East (1-0) in its season opener while Kacyee Hart (16U-SB) earned the win in the circle. The junior threw four innings, striking out six and allowing two hits and two walks with an earned run. Heading to the dish for her first varsity at-bat, Jarrell could not have asked for a better situation. With her team trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the second with the bases loaded, she roped an offering that split the outfielders in right field. The ball rolled all the way to the fence for a bases-clearing triple, and Jarrell later scored on Jill Reid’s sacrifice bunt.
“Down 1-0 like that, I was just trying to get the job done and put the ball in play,” Jarrell said. After surrendering a run in the top of the first (an Allison Palhegyi RBI single), Hart went into cruise control over the next three innings. The junior did not allow a hit over the next three innings.
“I just had to focus on what pitches I could and couldn’t throw just based on the batters,” Hart said. “(The first inning) was those first-game jitters, and it’s easier once you get that first run in from your team.”
