In softball, Marengo’s Amanda Hart came up with the game-winnin’ hit in the bottom of the seventh innin’ to get the Indians past The Ridge, 3-2.

The Wolves had rallied with two runs in the top of the seventh innin’ on a huge hit by Anna Patras, which tied the game at 2-all.

The Indians beat the Wolves by two runs during the regular season.

The Grove didn’t need drama in their win against Elgin. The Trojans spanked the Maroons, 6-0, and they just keep rollin’.

Both teams play Saturday for a chance at a sectional title.
