Elk Grove 11, Carmel 8: Junior Anna Bonder raised her record to 3-0 by striking out four in a complete-game effort over the visiting Corsairs.

Senior Sarah Pauscher clubbed her sixth homer of the season and fourth in four games.

Also leading the offense for the Grens were Kylie Thomsen (2-for-4), Haley Itzenthaler (2-for-4, 4 runs, 2 walks), Amy Pietruszynski (2-for-3) and Alex Masnica (2-for-4, 3 RBI).

South Elgin 3, Palatine 2 (9 inn.): Stacy Bellack drove in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead the Storm (5-11) to a nonconference win over the visiting Pirates (3-6).

Alexa Rogalla had 2 hits with a triple and an RBI for South Elgin and Hannah Gordon added a double. Geneva Pollman pitched a complete game for the win.
