Libertyville waltzed into their contest on Saturday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 4-3 W against the Lane Tech Champions. For the Wildcats, this counts as revenge for the 2-1 victory the Champions walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2023.
Mckenna Weaver spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Natalie Engman, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one run and one RBI. Those three hits gave her a new career-high.
Libertyville pushed their record up to 22-8 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Lane Tech, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 19-12 record this season.
Libertyville will face off against Buffalo Grove at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Lane Tech does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
