Salo Dominates Again As DC Junior Girls Go To 2-0
SOUTH HOLLAND, Ill.---Two up, two down. The Delta County Junior Girls (age 13-14) won their second straight game at the Central Regional in South Holland, Ill., on Sunday, turning back Melrose Park, Ill., 3-0, to stay unbeaten in pool play. The girls battled 95-degree heat an Illinois pitcher who's father is Major League outfielder Carlos Lee. But Delta County has a good pitcher of its own...Gabi Salo...who continues her post-season tear. She was unhittable in the state tournament, and this weekend, has thrown a pair of one-hitters in victories over the Indiana and Illinois state champions. On Sunday, Salo struck out 12 batters, after fanning 13 in Saturday's victory. Delta County continues pool play on Monday with a game against the Ohio State Champions. Game time is 6:00 ET. The game will be broadcast live on WGKL-FM (105.5), WCHT-AM (600), and on-line at www.rrnsports.com. Pictured above: Delta County pitcher Gabi Salo. |
