EAST PEORIA, Ill. ? Moline h?? famous ??? along ?t ??n move th?
bats t? lift ?n a furious shootout.?Turns out th? Maroons h??? th?
gloves ?n? courage ?f a champion. More specifically, a six-time
champion.

A magisterial early lead w?? scarcely squandered, b?t Moline converted
clutch plays ?n? pitches ?n? returned t? th? mountaintop, holding
?n f?r a heartpounding 9-8 feat over St. Charles North ?n
Saturday night?s IHSA Class 4A softball championship ?t EastSide
Centre.

?Th?? comes around once ?n a lifetime,? ???? Moline youth first
baseman Jenna Winthurst, wh? h?? th? contingent winning RBIs. ?I?m
???t ?? ??????? t? b? a ??rt ?f ?t.?

Th?r? w?r? 25 hits ? 15 b? th? losing North Stars ? ?n th?
highest-scoring championship diversion ?n IHSA softball history.

?If w? weren?t hitting, th?? w?r? still going t? measure eight
runs,? youth shortstop Brittny Drish ????. ?It?s ???t always ???????nt
t? h??? th? bats ?n fire.?

It ??? ?t?rt?? ?n th? initial w?th Drish, wh? knew h?r second
career grand impact w?? h???. Sh? ???t didn?t know ?t th? time ? h?w
m?? presumably ?h?, 4 batters ?nt? th? game? ? ?f ?t? ultimate
substance.

Even wh?n th? North Stars punched behind w?th 3 opening-inning
runs ?f th??r ?wn, sophomore Jordan de los Reyes ?n? Winthurst h??
th? Maroons (29-8-1) smelling bullion medals w?th 2-RBI doubles ?n th?
second inning th?t stretched th? lead t? 6 runs.

?Wh?n w? h?? 9 runs ?n th? initial dual innings,? de los Reyes
????, ?w? knew w? m?? presumably ?? ?t ?n? ???t hang ?n th?r?.?

B?t scrappy North (32-4) wouldn?t ?? away, attack behind ?n
third baseman Taylor Russell?s 3-r?n homer ?n th? bottom ?f th?
second ? giving th? comparison 5 RBIs ?n h?r initial dual ?t-bats ? ?n?
two some-more runs ?n th? fourth.

?Y?? ??t 9 runs, ?n? ????re meditative th?t?s flattering safe,?
Moline manager M?rk Gerlach ????. ?B?t, whew, n? way. Th?t?s ?n ?r???f??
???????nt attack group over th?r?.?

Amazingly, th?t w?? th? final ?f th? scoring, most t? North?s
dismay. Especially ?n th? sixth inning, wh?n 3 North Stars
loaded th? bases w?th one out ?n? forced Moline t? serve two
terrific defensive plays underneath pressure.

Natalie Capone forsaken a bunt down th? third-base line, looking
t? tie th? diversion w?th rapid Loren Cihlar charging toward home. de
los Reyes, wh? doesn?t call th? prohibited dilemma h?r healthy position,
scooped ?t adult ?n? tossed t? catcher Hayley Marlier ???t ?n time f?r
th? forceout.

?E??r? game,? de los Reyes ????, ?I ??t some-more assured (?t
third.)?

Th? subsequent batter, Annie Korth, sent a 1-2 grounder Drish?s way.
Aft?r primarily bobbling th? ball, Drish zoomed a chuck over t?
Winthurst ?t first.

A bang-bang play w?nt Moline?s way. Instead ?f a tie game, th?
Maroons transient ?nt? th? cave w?th th? lead, ?n a play Drish
wasn?t even certain w?? r??ht.

?Fr?m wh?r? we w??,? Drish ????, ??t w?? fundamentally a tie.?

Moline pitcher Jordan Kasbohm saved h?r initial three-up,
three-down inning f?r th? seventh, w?th Caitlin Khoury?s flyout t?
center fielder Kaitlyn Knary environment ?ff Moline?s delirious
celebration.

?I ???t t??? myself, we h??? t? ?? m? job,? ???? Kasbohm, wh?
f?n??h?? h?r comparison year 26-5 w?th 198 strikeouts. ?I give ?t t? m?
whole team, th?? h?? m? behind n? matter wh?t.?

Wh?n Moline final played ?n a championship game, ?t set a
large-school record w?th 11 runs ?n a championship game,
mercy-ruling Downers Grove South f?r th? 2006 title.

Aft?r dual innings Saturday, ?t looked ??k? th? Maroons w?r? well
?n th??r approach t? lifting th??r ?wn m?rk. Th?? didn?t need ?t.

Tradition-rich Moline ?? now th? unapproachable owners ?f 6 softball
titles, pulling one forward ?f Rock Island Alleman ?n? pulling within
one ?f state personality Casey-Westfield?s 7 championships.

?Obviously, ??? wish t? b? a ??rt ?f something historic,?
Gerlach ????. ?Th?t tradition ?? really critical t? ?? ?n? ??? th?
girls.?
