Bella Jacobs kept the ball flying, tossing a flawless no‑hitter in her second consecutive start as Sycamore shut out Prairie Ridge, 4–0. The win came in a playoff warm‑up where both teams earned top seeds and first‑round byes, though they play in separate supersections this year.
After a five‑inning perfect game against DeKalb the previous week, Jacobs’ only mistakes were one walk and a hit batter. She also racked up 13 strikeouts.

Offense Highlights

Sycamore’s offense was limited to six singles, but four came in a row at the start of the fourth inning:

1. Grace Caldwell and Leah Harbecke opened the rally
2. Addison Armstrong’s single drove in Caldwell
3. Kairi Lantz hit brought home Harbecke
4. After Faith Heil’s sacrifice bunt, Callie Countryman’s fly ball scored Armstrong
