Oak Lawn Powers Past Crete-Monee in High-Scoring Affair

Oak Lawn added four runs in the fourth and eight in the fifth to effectively close out the victory.

Despite the difficult result, the Warriors’ offense remained active throughout the contest, racking up 11 hits. Madison Myers had a standout performance at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI. Giselle Angulo also contributed significantly, tallying two hits, including a double, and driving in two runs. M. Robinson matched the offensive output with two hits of her own.

Defensively, the Warriors were sharp in the field, committing zero errors against a high-volume Oak Lawn attack. Kaylee Slattery handled the bulk of the pitching duties, working four and one-third innings.
