IHSA Scores

One score that was not listed..

Waterloo 20
East Saint Louis 0

Short game after 5.

Waterloo will now play Edwardsville tomorrow at Belleville East.

Thanks for the IHSA link CPLZ.

I just read on the IHSA website that Maine East (#14 seed) beat Fremd (#2 seed) 4-3 . To me this is a total shock and has to be the upset of the tournament so far. In reality though, I guess that's why they play the games and one bad game is over and out.

Does anyone have any details on that game?

I guess I was wrong about the upset of the tournament so far, I just saw that #18 seed Zion Benton beat #2 seed Grayslake(central) 11-5. My bad!!

Not that they're the upsets of the year...

but #3 seed Harlem goes down 9-3 to #12 seed Freeport in the DeKalb Sectional.

#3 seed Stevenson falls to # 14 seed Antioch in the Mundelein Sectional.

Both Fremd and Stevenson went 1 and done as regional hosts...the same as Lake Zurich did last year when it was a highly ranked regional host.

Does anyone know who pitched in The Grayslake and Fremd games?

Looks like Glenbrook North had no problem with Northside Prep.

For those of you who are interested in the NIU SuperSectional I have created an online bracket that I will update to keep up with the action...

If anyone happens to know (such as an irate parent or player), in the "upset" games were any of the losing teams "saving" their ace for the Saturday games that they will now not be needing them for the "good" teams?

Antioch - #14 seed - beat #3 Stevenson at Stevenson - sure felt like the upset of the tournament!

Elk Grove 2
Buffalo Grove 3
@ Elk Grove

From what I understand, Grayslake threw their stud, who dug a quick 5-0 hole. ZB bats were insane.. Don't have any inside on the Stevenson game, but I am sure someone does...

Another high seed goes down:

Addison Trail 8 - Willowbrook 3

Stevenson threw their #1, Rubin.
Grayslake threw their #1, Kuligowski.

It's funny this time of year, how some kid who hasn't had a dominating year, will suddenly find a pitch that hasn't worked for him all year, and dominate a good team with it. It happened to LZ last week in the conference championship game when Vernon Hills pitcher, Brad Schnitzer suddenly found a curveball that he claims he hasn't had all season.

We played ZB twice and in my opinion, they can swing a bat, just didn't have the arms to go with it..yesterday they found one. You have to give them a lot of credit.

Grayslake went with Martinez.

Confirmed that Graylake started Martinez, who many think throws harder than Kuligowski. Kuligowski was evidently being saved for us (ooops). Warren vs Richmond-Burton at 4. Perez starts for Warren. Good luck CP.

In the Antioch-Stevenson game Kent (Sophomore) hit a 3 run homer in the fourth. WP-Antioch was Baird with a save by Skaragiorgus. LP Stevenson = Rubin.

Although Z-B defeating Grayslake appears earth shaking, taking Z-B lightly is a mistake. They've played well lately, after a slow start. If they get some consistent pitching they will surprise any number of teams. They lost twice to Stevenson, both by one run.

Some of these games that are upsets aren't
necessarily as lopsided as the seeds make it seem since for reasons passing understanding the IHSA hold the seeding meeting with three weeks still to go in the season. With that much time left a team that is .500 10-10 team can become a well over .500 20-10 or a great 15-5 team can become a little better than average 17-13 team. I don't understand why the seeding meeting isn't closer to end the of the year.

My Bad...thought the paper said Kuligowski this morning...

The Beatings Will Continue Until Moral Improves

Does anyone really know what happened in the Richmond-Burton/Warren game? The IHSA site has R-B the winner 6-1, but then list Mario Perez as the winning pitcher -

Also, any score from Vernon Hills/Lakes?

Mundelein defeated Grant.

Warren 6, Richmond-Burton 1. Zion-Benton is next Sat at 2:30.

St. Charles East 1
Crystal Lake South 0

For Grant, I don't remember his name but #13 started the game and Stroup came on in relief.

Glenbrook South 7
Notre Dame 3

Game was tied at 3 in bottom of sixth when things came unraveled for the Dons . Poor decision on a bunt play led to a big inning for Glenbrook . Five solo shots in the game . Three for Glenbrook --dont know the names -- Kane and Romano ( both sophs) for Notre Dame .

Much tighter game than the score would indicate.

Any update on the Yorkville/Oswego game?

That Kane kid sure can hit...

Heck, with the way the wind was blowing today...any ball up in the air could've gone out!

Downers Grove South over Hinsdale Central.

Lake Park 6 Bartlett 5 LP scores 3 runs in bottom of 6th for the win. LP plays Prospect Saturday.

Kaneland 12 -- Romeoville 10
Crosby proves tough...John Boyd from romeoville homers twice

Jacksonville 12 Springfield 10.
Crimsons advance to Regional Championship Sat vs #1 Seed Bethalto Civic Memorial

This afternoon it was Jones College Prep 3-1 over Harlan at Abbott Park. It was a well played game for both teams. Jones scored its 3 runs in the first inning. Harlan scored one run in the fifth.

Jones won the Regional Championship and now advances to the Sectionals at Mount Carmel on Thursday against Young.

Congratulations to Coach Dave Rosene and his squad!

Rosene has been core to the success of our Clubbers-Chicago program. He was named Illinois Catholic Conference Coach of the Year when he was at Ignatius, but then got bounced out when some donor parent complained about him.

I told him that I would be rooting for both teams but that my loudest cheers would be for Young.

New Trier 3

GBS 2

Paul Duncan throws a complete game, Mac Murphy drives in the winning run in the bottom of the 8th in the GBS regional final

At Brooks Academy it was Whitney Young over Brooks 10-0. Young won the Regional and advances to the Sectionals. Jim Clement was the winning pitcher.

Young next plays on Thursday in the Sectionals versus Jones College Prep.

Congratulations to Coach Cassidy and the entire Dolphins team.

Warren and Zion-Benton rained out and rescheduled for Monday at 10:00 am. Lake Forest was up 4-0 against Carmel in the 6th when we left during a rain delay, didn't catch the final.

Some of these regionals sure seem to be of a different caliber than others.

Leyden 8
Maine South 3

Anthony Even 2 run HR in the bottom of the seventh to ice the win.
Jonathan Weaver complete game win. His record goes to 8-0.

Leyden wins first regional title in over 10 years.
