    PEORIA – There wasn’t a dry eye in sight as Prairie Ridge coach Scott Busam placed a medal around the necks of his 14 players and four assistants following a 12-0, five-inning victory over St. Laurence in the Class 3A state third-place game on Saturday. Wolves senior catcher Kendra Carroll was last to arrive in line at Louisville Slugger Sports Complex as she wiped away tears and stood proudly next to teammates one last time.

    PEORIA – Few teams have been able to string together hits against Prairie Ridge junior Reese Mosolino and find gaps in the Wolves’ defense throughout a historic season. That’s been especially true in the Class 3A playoffs as Prairie Ridge has played air-tight defense and Mosolino has shut down opposing teams with a 0.39 ERA in five games entering the state semifinals.

    When Prairie Ridge’s Ady Kiddy, Kendra Carroll and Autumn Ledgerwood walked up to receive the Class 3A Kaneland Supersectional plaque after an exhilarating 1-0, eight-inning win over Antioch on Monday, the Wolves trio of seniors felt on top of the world.
