When the
Chesterton softball team takes the field against Huntington North on
Saturday in the IHSAA Lafayette Harrison Semistate at 10 a.m. (Chesterton
time), they will have to bring their bats.
The Trojans will
most likely square off against Huntington North sophomore Erin Rethlake who
sports a 5-1 record and 0.31 ERA. The left-hander missed most of the season,
but returned when post-season play began and has won three straight
decisions.
Rethlake beat
Ft. Wayne Carroll 8-0 in the Regional as Rethlake struck out six and allowed
five hits. In the Sectional finals against Homestead, Rethlake struck out
nine and allowed only a seventh inning single in a 1-0 victory.
Opening the
Sectional, Huntington North beat Jay County 10-0 on a nine-strikeout,
four-hit performance by Rethlake.
Offensively,
Huntington North is averaging 6.8 runs per game and likes to move around the
bases. They have stolen 41 bases through 28 games and feature three hitters
with a batting average above .400.
Directions:
Those attending the game on Saturday should take I-65 South to exit 178.
Turn right onto E. County Rd. 500 N. Turn right onto N. County Rd. 50 W and
the school is ahead on the right.
