Grayslake North Softball Defeats Richmond-Burton

The Grayslake North Knights softball team continued to win on Wednesday. Grayslake North advanced to the sectional title game at Lakes by stopping Richmond-Burton 6-1.

According to the Lake County News-Sun, Kristi Gandy pitched a five-hitter, got three hits and drove in three runs. 

This will be the Knights’ second straight appearance in the sectional finals. Last year, they were thumped 7-0 by powerful Marengo, the News-Sun said.

This year, they won’t have to play Marengo until the Round of 8 — next Monday. On Saturday, North will likely play a quality Prairie Ridge squad for the sectional title.

Gandy fanned 11 and the hard-hitting Knights pounded out 13 hits while being helped by four Richmond errors, according to the article.

Jordyn Bowen, Jessica Davis, Christina Freese and Marlin Kram each had a pair of hits in the victory. The Knights are now 25-8-1.
