Schneider’s heroic effort lifts Lake Zurich May 10, 2013 12:00 AM
Lake Zurich junior Olivia Schneider, a little lefty if there ever was one, has no lofty expectations. "I'm little," Schneider, who stands 5 feet, 1 inch, said with a laugh. "Not growing anymore." Funny, as Friday's North Suburban Conference Lake Division game between Lake Zurich and host Warren moved from one inning to the next, Schneider seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Her presence in the circle was growing, Incredible Hulk-ishly. "It was really hard to get the pitcher down," Warren junior left fielder Jazmin Bonke said. "She had a lot of movement." Schneider retired the first 17 batters she faced, before Bonke singled with two out in the sixth to spoil the perfect game, in what was maybe her best pitched game in high school. She settled for a 4-hitter, as Lake Zurich held on for a 3-2 win, delivering Warren a crushing loss in its attempt to successfully defend its NSC Lake title.
