First of all let me start with Women’s Softball since they are in post season play. They found a break in the weather just long enough to advance to the Region XXIV Final Four when they knocked off Olney Central 5-1 at home on Wednesday.
RLC’s Hannah Poynter (Louisville, Ky.) picked up the win with batterymate Jessica Prange (Campbell Hill), throwing seven innings of six-hit ball, allowing just one earned while fanning four Lady Knights.
Breya Cooper (Henderson, Ky.) went 2-for-2 with two runs and a base on balls. Terrilyne Summers (West Frankfort) reached safely twice with a double and two RBIs. Nicole Johnson (Johnston City) also tallied a pair of hits and notched an RBI. Sammie Bright (Zeigler) is credited with the Warrior’s third RBI.
With the win, the softball team moves on to play in the final four portion of the Region XXIV tournament on Friday and Saturday at Kaskaskia College.
The Men’s Baseball team is 17-9, and they areentering the post-season strong after a grueling end to the regular season, plagued by poor weather and stiff competition, highlighted by taking two-of-three from second place Wabash Valley (18-5) and drawing level on the season series with rival and conference leader John A. Logan College (19-5).
