The Freeburg Midgets (37-3) had a very good day as they won both their games at Duffy Bass Field at Illinois State University, including knocking off Timothy Christian 12-0 in the title game. This was after Freeburg upset Normal U-High in the semifinal 5-3. The Midgets in that game had all 4 of their hits in the game in that one inning. U-High had a sophomore that was already committed to Iowa University, however 9 strikeouts and 2 walks wasn’t good enough. It’s the Midgets first baseball title since 1989 and just 2nd overall.
U-High bounced back in the 3rd place game to beat Sacred Heart Griffin 7-5.
The 4a state tournament is today at DuPage Medical Group Field in Joliet. At 10am Honoengah will take on Plainfield East followed by O’Fallon and Roselle Lake Park at 1pm. The 3rd place game will be at 4 and the title game at 7pm.
