The Evanston Wildkits will challenge the Carmel Corsairs at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday.
Evanston came up short against Amundsen on Thursday, falling 12-3.
Evanston saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Rosie Witt, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Maddie Berry was another, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Carmel, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. They put the hurt on Lakes with a sharp 11-5 win on Friday.
Bella Cameron spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and four unearned) runs on four hits.
On the hitting side, Carmel got a massive performance out of Grace Brown, who went 1-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. Brown is crushing it when it comes to home runs: she's launched at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Another player making a difference was Kaitlyn Konen, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3.
Carmel kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lakes only managed five hits.
Everything went Evanston's way against Carmel in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, as Evanston made off with an 8-1 victory. Will the Wildkits repeat their success, or do the Corsairs have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
