Invitational Friday, April<br />

21.<br />

Lockport won the invite<br />

with 85 points, ahead of<br />

West Aurora (77) and Downers<br />

Grove North (71), which<br />

rounded out the Top 3 of the<br />

15 teams competing. Bollinger,<br />

who won the 1,600m<br />

by more than two seconds,<br />

was also part of the first-place<br />

3,200m relay team. Kayla<br />

Isom, Aubrey Friedrich and<br />

for the Porters.<br />

Other Top 3 finishes included<br />

Jaclyn Greci taking<br />

second in the 200m (25.48)<br />

and Isom finishing third in the<br />

800m (2:22.39). Greci was<br />

Madison Polinski was the<br />

the 3,200m in a time of<br />

Baseball<br />

Lockport 7, Plainfield East 1<br />

Ryne Travis knocked in<br />

three RBI as the Porters won<br />

their third straight game, topping<br />

Plainfield East 7-1 Saturday,<br />

April 22, on the road.<br />

Travis was 2-for-3 at the<br />

plate with a run scored. His<br />

two-RBI double was part of<br />

a four-run sixth inning which<br />

put the game out of reach for<br />

the home team, as Lockport<br />

jumped ahead 6-0.<br />

CJ Weins scored two runs<br />

for the Porters, including one<br />

in the top of the first to put<br />

the Porters up 1-0. Lockport<br />

would tack one a run in both<br />

the fourth and fifth innings.<br />

Plainfield East answered in<br />

the bottom of the sixth, but it<br />

was too little, too late.<br />

Weins also got the win on<br />

the bump, recording a hit and<br />

a strikeout over two innings.<br />

Lockport 11, Bolingbrook 1<br />

Ben Davis went the distance,<br />

striking out six batters<br />

in Lockport’s 11-1 win<br />

over Bolingbrook Thursday,<br />

April 20. The game was<br />

called after five innings.<br />

CJ Weins led the Porters<br />

at the plate, driving in four<br />

RBI off two hits — including<br />

a two-run blast in the<br />

third to put his team ahead<br />

6-1. Connor Fitzgerald went<br />

2-for-3 with two RBI and a<br />

run scored.<br />

Bolingbrook took a<br />

1-0 lead in the top of the<br />

first, but Lockport wasted<br />

no time answering. Jake<br />

Suchor, Brent Mcdowell<br />

and Nick Strysik all<br />

singled to start the inning,<br />

with the latter two notching<br />

RBI singles. Back-to-back<br />

walks loaded the bases<br />

for Weins, who singled to<br />

drive home Strysik and<br />

Matt Harder, putting Lockport<br />

ahead 4-1.<br />

An error and a single put<br />

runners in scoring position<br />

in the bottom of the fourth<br />

for Lockport. Ryne Travis<br />

and Jimmy Heintz both<br />

doubled to push two more<br />

runs across. Weins followed<br />

up with a two-run single as<br />

the Porters jumped out to a<br />

10-1 lead.<br />

Lockport added its final<br />

run in the fifth when Jimmy<br />

Cozen scored on a wild<br />

pitch.<br />
