Antioch's softball team continued its playoff roll on Tuesday afternoon, defeating Vernon Hills 9-0 in a Class 3A Carmel Catholic sectional semifinal to expand its postseason run differential to a cartoonish 39-0 and its overall record to a gaudy 31-1.
The top-seeded Sequoits won a pair of 15-0 games in regional action last week and will face either second-seeded Carmel or third-seeded Wauconda for a sectional championship Friday at 4:30 p.m."We kept pressure on their defense all day," said Antioch coach Anthony Rocco, who guided the Sequoits to a third-place showing at the Class 3A state tournament last spring.
"She's amazing, hardworking and always smiling," said Antioch freshman right fielder Jadynn Ruiz, who went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs, including an RBI double to open the scoring in the bottom of the first inning."I like her approach at the plate," Rocco said of his poised rookie, who bats No. 2 in his order."She's patient and super consistent."
Sequoits senior center fielder leadoff hitter Eden Echevarria and junior designated player Jazzy Fisher each struck for 3 hits. Fisher hit an opposite-field triple to left in the second frame and scored on junior Aubrey Ultsch's two-out single.
