"It was just fantastic." Todd Howell singled to start the 13th inning. He was given the steal sign twice, but shook it off, resulting in two pitch-outs, and an eventual walk to McHenry High product Kris Teuber. Fellow McHenryite Fritz Larsen caught the CLC third baseman napping, and laid down a bunt to load the bases. Kurt Ljunggren then rapped a single up the middle to cinch the game and send the ballpark on its ear. MCC's only other run came in the first inning when Howell led off with a double and scored from third on Larsen's sacrifice fly- Paul Zaglauer pitched the first six innings for the Scots, giving up one walk and fanning four. Marian Central grad Jeff Kruse jeleived him for the remainder of the contest, giving up three walks and striking out three." But it was the MCC infield that kept the Scots in the game, clicking on four double plays in the game, and thwarting three CLC rallies in the process.

"I didn't think she'd get to it. That play really took the wind out of Cary's sails. irv's It could have been a thre homer, but instead it was just the second out of the inning." Every McHenry starter hit safely for the second straight game, as the visitors outhit their opponents 14-6. Rachel Prushinski again was the Warriors' starting pitcher after a shaky outing against Johnsburg. The sophomore allowed nine walks on the windy afternoon, but Cary couldn't use the free passes to its advantage. In the fourth inning, the Warriors broke loose for 10 runs, the big blow a grand-slam home McHenry pitcner Rachel Prushinski fires in a fastball to noon.

Cindy Kinsala turned in her second straight three-hit per­ formance, including two doubles. Chris Carlson, subbing for the ill Geri Haner at third base, collected two hits and scored twice, while Martin had two hits and knocked in two runs, and first baseman Gret- chen Fuiava chipped in a single, double and three RBI. "I think the key was that tne girls could wear regular batting gloves instead of snowmobile gloves," Wirtz joked, in reference t to' the frigid con­ ditions at Johnsburg a day earlier. The 1-1 Warriors were slated to face Antioch Thursday, and will play at Zion Friday, before returning to Fox Valley Con­ ference play next Monday at Woodstock. % ' itcher Rachel Hi, Hurdle There are probably better ways to meet a For this Plalndealer-Heraia pnoto by Chris Juzwlk nemesis. Johnsburg hurdler, the enemy was a steel hurdle, which he clipped while trying to jump the obstacle. Johnsburg was defeated by Woodstock in a dual meet at Johnsburg Wednesday afternoon, the Skyhawks' first meet of the year. JHSgirls no-hit by Marengo, tumble to first defeat of year JOHNSBURG - It was a game Todd Lewison would just as soon forget. The Johnsburg High softball coach watched his team get no- hit by Marengo, which brought the Skyhawks' undefeated record tumbling down, and in the process lost an outfielder to injury. Johnsburg's Renee Sande suffered a hairline fracture to her leg in an outfield collision, and is lost for the season. Of much less importance, Marengo's Indians clobbered the Skyhawks 16-1, as pitcher Michelle Otto fired a no-hitter. . "She's a very, very good pitcher," emphasized Lewison. "And Marengo is a very tine team. They've been picked to win our conference." Otto allowed just one run, which was unearned. That lone Skyhawk tally came in the first inning when senior third baseman Cris May walked, went to second on a passed ball, to third on a sacrifice bunt by pitcher Cindy Swartzloff, ana scored on a wild pitch by Otto. But things didn't get better. Johnsburg stayed in contention as late as the fifth inning, when the Indians held a slim 5-1 ad­ vantage. But Marengo exploded for eight runs in the seventh, on 11 hits, to roll to an easy victory. Marengo collected 22 hits for the game. Sophomore Swartzloff saw her record fall to 2-1 on the season, * the same as her team. "Control-wise, she wasn't too bad," Lewison said. "But she's not as fast a pitcher as Otto, and Marengo is probably used to hitting her (Otto), so they i started timing Cindy's pitches, started adjusting to her speed." Johnsburg will try to rebound Friday when the Skyhawks will t rave l to Round Lake for . . another Northwest Suburban : Conference clash. Monday, JHS will play a make-up game at Harvard, before returning home Wednesday to host Marian Central.
