Plainfield Central Offense Surges in 14-4 Victory Over Peotone Softball
March 22, 2026/
The Peotone varsity softball team opened its 2026 campaign on the road Saturday morning, dropping a 14-4 non-conference decision to Plainfield Central.
Despite getting on the board and pushing four runs across the plate, the Blue Devils (0-1) were unable to keep pace with a potent Wildcats lineup. Plainfield Central capitalized on its home-field advantage to secure the decisive double-digit victory, improving its overall record to 2-1 on the young season.
Peotone will look to regroup, establish its rhythm, and secure its first win of the year as the team continues through its early-season non-conference schedule.
