Hohman, Waubonsie Valley shut down Bartlett May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
It's not very often a team starts a day with a lead in a game, but it worked to the advantage of Waubonsie Valley and sophomore ace Shannon Hohman. Leading Bartlett 1-0 with one out and a runner on first base in the bottom of the first inning when the rain-suspended game resumed on Saturday at Bartlett, Hohman and the Warriors got the final two outs of that inning. the right-hander settled into a groove, her team added 3 more runs and just like that there's another tie for the lead in the Upstate Eight Conference Valley Division softball race. Waubonsie's 4-0 win over the Hawks technically puts the Warriors in first with a 13-3 league record. Bartlett is 11-3, Lake Park 12-4, Neuqua Valley 11-5 and South Elgin 10-5 heading into what promises to be a riveting final week of the regular season.
