MARENGO, Ill. — North Boone’s Cami Carter pitched an absolute gem to kick off the postseason as she allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out 10 batters in a complete-game 2-0 shutout against Johnsburg.
Sure, the Skyhawks’ Joree Tibbs had a nice outing of her own as she allowed only five hits and no walks with three strikeouts in six innings, but North Boone’s offense found just enough ways to score in the the IHSA 2A Regional semifinal 2-0 Thursday.
Danielle Goodman doubled and scored on Ava Torres’ double in the fourth to break the scoreless tie. Goodman added a solo home run to provide an insurance run.
Torres finished with two doubles and Abby Galarza one as the Vikings finished with five hits, all doubles.
A double by Kayla Riener was all the offense that sixth-seeded Johnsburg (14-16) could muster .
Fourth-seeded North Boone (24-4) will play top-seeded hosting Marengo in the regional championship Friday at 4:30 p.m.

Parkview’s Jazmyn Wiedmer had a one-run single and stole home while Joey Meyers smacked an RBI single in a three-run fourth that tied it up at four.
Wiedmer finished with three hits while Natalie Abey and Kylie Stark each had two as Parkview (5-13) outhit Wisconsin Heights (5-16) 10-5 but committed four errors.

• WESTOSHA CENTRAL 3, BELOIT MEMORIAL 2: Just three days after falling 2-1 to the Falcons, who are ranked ninth in Division 1 by Wissports.net, the Purple Knights once again gave the SLC leaders a run for their money.
But Lila McNeill hit a walk-off single after Mia Kozak reached on an error to leadoff the bottom of the second and prevent the upset.
Westosha (17-2, 13-1 SLC) scored single runs in the second and third before Beloit tied it with Chesney Bishop’s RBI groundout and Brooklynne Hereford-Foster’s one-run single in the sixth.

• HARLEM 13, HONONEGAH 9: After clinching sole possession of the NIC-10 title with a win at Belvidere North on Wednesday, Hononegah head coach Denny McKinney decided to give top pitchers Aislynn Palmer and Zoey Calhoun a night off at Harlem.
The results weren’t pretty. The Huskies pounded out 17 hits, including home runs by Alaina Schwanke and Laci Knutson.
Hononegah (27-3, 16-1 NIC-10) used four pitchers in all. Only Sam Nosbisch emerged unscathed, getting two outs without allowing a hit or run.
The Hononegah offense nearly kept up with 12 hits and home runs by Addison Hulburt, Natalie Kinney and Danielle Franz. Kaelyn Kelly and Franz were both 3-for-4.
Harlem didn’t start ace Schwanke, but went to her in the fourth inning when Hononegah pulled within 8-7. In 3 2-3 innings, she allowed two runs (one earned), serving up the home run ball to Franz, and striking out 10.

Phillips, Logan Hendricks, who tripled, and Whalen, who also doubled, all finished with two hits for Clinton (9-6, 6-5).
