St. Charles East Falls to Minooka in Class 4A Softball Title Game

The Minooka Indians routed St. Charles East’s Saints 14-3 in East Peoria on Saturday to claim the IHSA Class 4A Softball Championship, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Saints, who were at 33-6, fell to the 23-8 Indians in just six innings in a game that saw Minooka set a new state record for the number of hits — 19 — in a state finals game, according to the Tribune.

East got off three runs early in the game, but the Indians changed pitchers, a move that ended the Saints’ ability to put anyone on base.

A three-run homer in the sixth inning put Minooka above the 10-run Slaughter Rule to end the game, the Tribune reports.
