Getting extra work in after a long successful fall season with @vaglory16u Prepping for a huge sophomore season with @GCHS_Softball I can’t wait to tear up Florida on spring break!!! @TyraPerry13 @CoachPinkerton @NIUSoftball @CoachMWright3 @FSU_Softball @Coach_Alameda

Though her passion is playing behind the ⭕️ @VanessaBuske helps our team tremendously by pitching effectively.

Besides her heat, Nessa is a tough competitor and is a Sunday pitcher for us.

[Il Lightning Softball @softball_il]

Though @channingkeppy06 is the ace of our staff, she’s also a valuable cog in our lineup. She hits the ball very well and is perhaps our fastest runner.

She’s also very coachable & has absorbed what we have worked on at SS and is really good there.

[Il Lightning Softball @softball_il]

Though listed at third because she’s SO good there for us, I would have confidence in this gamer playing anywhere in the field.

@HollyGarrelts has been cranking it in the cages, so colleges should keep their 👀 wide open when she’s on the field.

In July, we knew we were getting a solid player, a great kid, and someone who would give us very important positional flexibility.

What we found out in the fall is @KarinaBenes is a middle-of-the-lineup masher AND all of those things.

Looking forward to @epiggott437 getting even more college looks that she deserves this summer.

She’s a powerful hitter, but you haven’t seen her play until you’ve seen her throw and run the bases.

Steady at 2B and steady at the plate, @ally_struck is our glue player.

She is the 1st to celebrate her teammates, so her bat control (does she EVER K?) & reliability in the field is easy to overlook. W/ her work ethic, expect improvement to continue!

[Katie Smith 2025 @Katiesmith2025]

@channingkeppy06 you were amazing! Great pitching!

[Il Lightning Softball @softball_il]

@channingkeppy06 came up aces with a CG gem (7IP 0ER 5H 6K 0BB) in a 16u Hironimus 5-2 win over Silverhawks Dennison.

@Katiesmith2025 with a huge 2-RBI triple.

[Il Lightning Softball @softball_il]

Behind another gem by @channingkeppy06 , who faced the minimum (6IP 0R 0H 0BB 5K), 16u Hironimus beats Intensity 16u to advance in the LP4U Showcase in Peoria.
