Oregon, IL March 14, 2024

Oregon started their game with River Ridge in a big way Thursday. A seven-run first inning set the table for an ultimate 13-0 win.

Oregon pitchers Schlictmann and Halverson allowed only one hit. Ella Dannhorn produced three hits for the Panthers, while Abree Barker, Kaelin Schaffer, Madi Schaffer, Emma Schlictmann and Brooke Halverson each added hits.

Coach Nate Rogers said the team never looked back after that huge first inning.

The win brought the Hawks to 1-1 on the young season.

The Hawks host Pearl City today and are on the road at Milledgeville on March 18th.

Inning after inning with one team ahead, with the other tying, the softball matchup between Stillman Valley and Harvard induced a lot of stress. The two teams exhibited a lot of composure during the pressure cooker, with all players knowing they had a chance to take the W.

But in the bottom of the 14th, Stillman Valley had the bases loaded and took the win with a sacrifice fly. Softball815 got a chance to visit with the winning pitcher after the game.

Just a note. We’ll be at Stillman Valley Tuesday March 12th for their home opener against Harvard.  Make sure and check out the game video, the highlights and interviews right here on Softball815!
