• Elk Grove meets Schaumburg’s challenge May 26, 2012 12:00 AM
  Two bullets, a dominant pitching performance and a vacuum cleaner at second base helped Elk Grove capture a regional softball championship Saturday afternoon. The bullets were line-drive homers off the bat of Krista Soesbe in the first inning and Devan Parkison in the second. Soesbe's 3-run job erased a 2-run deficit and Parkison's padded the lead just enough for Dani Goranson to settle down and deliver the dominant pitching for which she has become known. As for the vacuum cleaner, that was second baseman Becca Maher. She handled four straight chances from the fifth inning into the sixth, including a diving stop that might have ignited a Schaumburg rally in the sixth and preserved a 6-2 Class 4A regional title win at Elk Grove. The Grenaders (28-8) will meet Fremd in a Barrington sectional semifinal Thursday.
