Welcome to

My Granddaughter Michelle has started her high school softball career this fall, She played 2 games for the JV and had several hits, including a home run. She was moved up to the varsity the following week. She had a great double header on Saturday April 11, 2009. She went 2 for 3 with a stolen base. She also walked 3 times. They went on to beat Oswego 5-4, Michelle batted in the first run. They finished the season with a double header win on May 23. Their season ended on Memorial Day, when they lost to Plainfield South 1-0 in the State playoffs.
