The Warrior softball team celebrated Senior Night Monday, June 30, with a doubleheader sweep over Clayton Ridge. The pair of wins kept South Winn in the hunt for at least a share of the 2025 UIC title with a record of 12-2.
Game 1
     The Warriors were rolling from the top of the lineup to the bottom as they carved out four runs in the bottom of the first inning. Three runs were added in the second for a 7-0 lead.
     The Eagles plated a run in the top of the third, but the Warriors responded with two in the third and two in the fourth to secure a 11-1 win in four innings.
     Pitcher Aubree Gesing allowed just two hits and had four strikeouts to earn the win. Senior Abby Wagner hit her fourth home run of the year and Bailey Kuennen had a team-high four RBI in the win.
