Grayslake North put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Monday. They never let the Harvard Hornets get on the board and left with a 6-0 win. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.
Riley O'Brien made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
O'Brien wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Dakota McLester, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI. Alyson Alvarenga was another, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Grayslake North pushed their record up to 12-3 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Harvard, they now have a losing record of 6-7.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Grayslake North will take on Antioch at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday. As for Harvard, they will head out to take on Plano at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Reapers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.58 runs per game on average), something the Hornets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
