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.

Plenty of hitting but not much scoring dominated Tuesday's game in Antioch.
Grayslake Central athlete Claire Brennan is off to the University of Iowa next year. On Tuesday, her four-year varsity softball career at Central ended. In the fifth inning of North's 2-1 regional win, shortstop Brennan strolled to the plate with the game on the line. She would bat with the winning runs on base. And North paid her the biggest compliment. They weren't going to let her beat them. She was intentionally walked. And maybe out of disappointment, Brennan actually took a swing at one of those wild Kristi Gandy pitches. It was a smart move by North. The Knights winners of 24 games this spring survived Central's best effort and will move to the regional title game come Saturday morning. Central (14-20) had a better year than last …

The Grayslake Pride softball team can feel proud of their season. Though they lost a 2-1 nail-biter in the championship game of the Warren Wipeout Tournament to the Cary Crush team, the season was a success. The team wound with a record of 32-9-1 shutting out their opponents 11 times and giving up just one run another 11 times. "We had a goal at the beginning of the season of 30 wins, which was a very aggressive goal considering that we were about to play 42 games in 41 days," said manager Steve Frusolone.

The 14U Grayslake Pride girls defeated a nationally ranked powerhouse 8-3 at the new Chicago Bandits Stadium in Rosemont.
The Grayslake girls 14U softball team easily could have been overwhelmed by the game ahead of them. They were playing against a ranked team that had qualified for Nationals. They played in the spacious new stadium of the women’s professional softball team, the Chicago Bandits, on the same field where star Jennie Finch played. But any jitters were quickly put to rest when the umpire yelled, “Play!” Caitlyn Moran pitched for Grayslake during last weekend’s tournament and she brought the heat. Moran sat down the first six batters in order including three by strikeout. She also singled in her first at bat. The Pride scored all of their eight runs in the bottom of the second inning, as the first 11 batters reached base. An RBI triple to left by…

The Knights will be a contender for years to come after closing this season In the Sectional Final.
After the Grayslake North softball season closed in a 7-0 decision to Marengo in the IHSA Class 3A sectional final last Saturday, a few tears were shed. But there were also several smiles as the North girls knew exactly what they had accomplished. Sure, they were disappointed losing that game. Sure, North had a 20-win season but no one truly expected the Knights to win a regional or a sectional. Simply, the team had no history of postseason success and was filled with young players. Well guess what? The Knights (22-11) fooled most everyone. Those young players, like Jordyn Bowen, Kristi Gandy and Kelsey Borders were experienced softball players despite not being seniors. Marengo advanced to the IHSA state softball tournament this weekend, …

Good to see a Central team mentioned in the Grayslake North sports section.... of course it was about losing to North. Does the Patch see what the Rams have done in baseball? How about the the Rams boys track and field team, 4th in state with a runner setting a new state meet record in the 800M run! Oh, and the Rams Lacrosse team is still playing too, just like the Knights! more ›
