Athlete of the Week: Marian Catholic's Glenn Turns On the Power

Rachel Glenn led Spartans to victory at the plate and on the mound this past week.

Marian Catholic’s Rachel Glenn picked an opportune time to hit her first two home runs of the season.

Glenn hit both of those homers in the same game, helping the Spartans pull out a thrilling 8-7 win over Homewood-Flossmoor on Tuesday. She drove in five runs in the game.

"I was struggling on the mound, so I knew I had to help out at the plate," Glenn said.
