The Bi-County All-Stars proved 13 runs was anything but unlucky in Sunday’s Major League Softball State Tournament in River Forest.

Bi-County defeated Rochelle 13-3 in four innings, winning its second of three games in state tournament play over the weekend. Winning pitcher Holocker walked eight, but gave up no hits while striking out five.

Kylie Coons got the Bi-County offense going with a three-run double in the first inning. Alexis Margis drove in another run with a long hit in the fourth and Piper Terando added a two-run single.

On Saturday, Bi-County beat Chicago Clear Ridge 11-0 behind winning pitcher Coons, who struck out seven and scattered one hit and three walks.

In its second game Saturday, Bi-County lost to Beardstown, 3-1, in seven innings. Coons singled to drive in the only run.
