  Speaker 1: by Joshua Welga. This article is being read by an
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: automated voice brought to you by Everlett. Jalen Anthony has
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the velocity to rack up the strikeouts. Her numbers can
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: attest to that. The Oswego senior and Perdue recruit in
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: April became the program's career strikeout leader with her four
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety six. But miss bats aren't Anthony's only
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: strategy in the circle. The game plan is always pitch
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to mishit to miss barrels. Oswego coach Annie Scaramuzi said,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the strikeouts just come because of how hard she throws,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: but our game plan is to avoid barrels. Anthony followed
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that formula to Oswego's third straight regional title Friday. She
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: struck out seven batters and also induced twelve ground ballouts.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Oswego capitalized on six Benet errors for a five zero
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: win in the class for a Oswego Regional final. Defending
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: state champion Oswego nineteen eleven advances to face Saturday's Naperville
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Central Plainfield North winner in a sectional semi final Wednesday
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: at Yorkville. I don't really know what to say, Anthony said, exciting.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: We worked for this. Anthony kept her infielders busy Friday,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and they were flawless until an error with one out
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in the seventh. Anthony walked the next two batters, but
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: retired the final two to preserve the shutout. They were
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: lights out, Anthony said, we did very well staying down
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on the ball. Worked on that in practice. It showed today.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Anthony only allowed one hit, a solid single by Nebraska
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Omaha commits Sophia Rosner leading off the second. Rosner was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: eventually thrown out at the plate trying to score from
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: third on a pass ball. I thought Jay was great,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Scaramuzi said. She did a great job attacking the zone,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: trusting her defense behind her, and she made big pitches.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I thought she got stronger as the game went on.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Indeed she did. Anthony, who did not pitch in Oswego's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: eight to two loss to Benet the second game of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the season, retired eleven straight batters after a two out
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: walk in the fourth. I was on a roll, Anthony said,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I was ready. Oswego scored the game's first run in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the third. The innings first two batters reached on errors,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and Betsy Jack's RBI ground out drove one in. Two
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: more errors, sandwiched around a Kennedy Gengler double over the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: right fielder, brought in two more runs in the fourth,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: making it three zero. Benet sophomore pitcher Noel Chlody allowed
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just five hits in the game, four coming in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: sixth inning, with one walk while striking out five. We
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: beat ourselves, ben At coach Janet Royle said, Noel pitched phenomenal.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: She was making them put the ball in play. We
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: just had too many errors. We weren't helping her out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: If the Red Wings nineteen seventeen looked disjointed in the field,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it was that kind of scene. Ben A has been
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: hit hard by injuries. Rosner missed time earlier in the spring.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Senior leadoff hitter Gianna Cunningham, who was batting over point
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: four zero zero, missed the last two weeks with a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: finger injury. We've had so many different injuries, illness switches.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We're all playing different positions, so that's what happens, Royle said,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you have different girls playing different positions, it happens. As
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we goo tacked on two runs in the sixth Gengler
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Brim Broughton and Elalina Mahoney singled and Adeline Fuget singled
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in two runs. They did a great job keeping pressure
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the whole game. Something we had struggled with in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Naperville North Regional semiphinal game was we couldn't get those
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: clutch hits. Scaamuzi said, I thought they did a great
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: job of executing our small ball while her team couldn't
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: muster any runs. Royle could not fault their approach. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: have nothing, Royle said. I told them, don't keep your
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: heads down. They put the ball in play. We weren't
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: striking out. They were just making plays on their side.
