Romeoville took down Joliet West on Monday, a win that might not have happened without Lillian Roberts's standout performance. Roberts turned in nothing short of a gem, striking out eight batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
Coming up, Roberts and Romeoville are taking a road trip to face off against Joliet Central at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Spartans got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Steelmen thanks in part to Roberts: she struck out ten batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). Can she match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
