Illinois Lutheran had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They blew past the Crete-Monee Warriors 10-2 on Tuesday. This was payback for the Chargers, who suffered a 6-0 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Lola Spada spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on six hits and racked up six Ks. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in April of 2024.
