Barrington's big rally fall short

Barrington's softball team scored 6 runs in the bottom of the seventh inning but fell short 9-8 to visiting Burlington Central at the Fields of Dreams on Friday.

The Fillies (7-3) had runners on second and third with two outs when the Rockets finally wrapped up the triumph.

Offensive leaders for the Fillies were freshman Carly Kordich (2-for-4, triple, 2 RBI), senior Katie Dehnert (2-for-4, RBI) and sophomore Liz Sweeney (2-for-3, double). Kelly Katis also had a double for Barrington.

Fillies pitcher Keenan Dolezal (6-3) and Jennifer Inamoto split time on the mound.

Elgin 9, Prospect 2: Elgin's Jessica Rago allowed only 2 hits through the first 6 innings and went 2-for-4 with a home run, 3 RBI and a walk.

Prospect (2-3) scored its 2 runs in the bottom of the seventh when Lindsey Lecomte collected her first varsity hit (a double) and scored her first varsity run on Delilah Malczewski's double with one out.

Emily Saenz (2-for-3) then singled to score Malczewski.

Rachel Trebswether also went 2-for-4 for Prospect.

"My players were pretty disappointed with the way they hit but we decided that we had to give Elgin credit," said Prospect coach Jim Adair. "Elgin showed up ready to play and really took it to us offensively.

"We played excellent defense at times but we weren't so good at other time. But there's not much we can do when a team hits like Elgin did."

Libertyville 12, Rolling Meadows 3: Senior Grace Skorin went 2-for-4 with 2 RBI and a double for the host Mustangs (1-7) against Libertyville (10-0).
