Hill contributed significantly with a run-scoring single in the first inning and a two-run single in the third. This helped the Mustangs, who hold a 23-5 record, to establish a commanding 8-0 lead over Oswego, which now stands at 22-12.
Senior center fielder Kieley Tomas also played a crucial role for the Mustangs, achieving three hits and three RBIs. Additionally, junior shortstop Taylor Pyke added to the team’s success with two hits and two RBIs.
Senior pitcher Shae Johnson made a strong comeback after her shoulder injury last season. She allowed three runs on six hits and issued one walk, while achieving nine strikeouts. Johnson played a vital part in bringing Mundelein to the state semifinals in 2024.
