PEORIA (WCIA) -- Charleston softball looked like it had been to the state tournament before, holding its own against an Antioch team that finished third a season ago. The Sequoits scored just one run through five innings, and only three on the day, but the Trojans bats went cold only recording two hits, in a 3-0 loss in the Class 3A semifinals at Louisville Slugger.

JOLIET (WCIA) -- The glamour of playing at state quickly wore off for Effingham baseball Friday morning. The Flaming Hearts are making their first appearance at state since 1942 and fell behind early, with Grayslake Central scoring runs in the first, third, fourth and fifth innings. The Rams held the Hearts to just two hits on the day as well, posting a 9-1 Class 3A semifinal win at Duly Health and Care Field.
