Riddle believes an even bigger game comes one day earlier when LT (4-2) plays at Downers Grove North (6-0) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the West Suburban Silver opener for both teams.

Based on Saturday’s doubleheader against Lyons, the senior is hardly resting on that accomplishment. Rusen was 6-for-6 at the plate with five runs scored and three RBIs over the two games as the Bulldogs earned a 4-0, 7-2 doubleheader sweep of the visiting Lions.

The Naperville Central softball team loves playing — and winning — on West Aurora’s field. In addition to the success the Redhawks have had in DuPage Valley Conference play in the regular season, they have won three of seven total regional titles on the Blackhawks’ turf.
