West wins 10-6. Nice win for a very good team. The Providence sectional is gonna be a grinder. JTW, PC, LWE, LWW, Sandburg,Joliet West at Lockport today at historic Ed Flink Field
Rita up to #17 in the rankings.Big win for the Mustangs against a very good PC team yesterday. Rita is 20 - 8 and tied for first place in the CCL Blue, I believe. Didn't think they'd be this good this year.
With the way they're playing, it should come down to them and Larry for Sectional final.
Winner would avoid JCA in the Super-sectionals until Final Four or State Championship game.
Agree that sectionals could go a few different ways. I would say Naz is a prohibitive fav in their sectional. Rice or LT can definitely hang with them. In the other sectional, for personal reasons, I would love to see Joliet West advance to the supersectional. I have watched a lot of the West kids play as they have grown up. Good group of kids. Seedings come out this afternoon.Provi vs Naz super sectional game could end up being most attended IHSA game in many years. Not saying that's a given, could see plenty of different ways those sectionals go. Lot of quality teams that can make runs. God I love baseball in this area.
That sectional is loaded! Marist is the 9 seed. They finished 9-3 in ESCC and has wins over JCA and STL. That's a pretty strong #9!Top 4 seeds at the Providence sectional: Lincoln-Way West, Providence, JOLIET WEST TIGERS, Lincoln-Way Central
In addition, I know geography comes into play, but regionals and sectionals are so unbalanced. In 3A, there is a sectional where St Pats is the 2 seed. They finished in last place in the ESCC with a 1-10 record.There needs to be a change with the rules of hosting regionals and seeding. Just change it to the top 4 seeds host. You don't need 2 months in advance to prepare to host 2 baseball games. Instead you have nonsense like #2 Lyons having to be with #5 Rice, just because Rice is the next lowest host. It's stupid and creates bad matchups that shouldn't be taking place in regional play. This should be taken up by baseball advisory committee.
You couldn't be more arrogant. which is fine in and of itself, but you need to be correct 100% of the time, which you clearly are not.
So I punish you to 500 hours of JUGs (Judgement under God) which can be spent contemplating how many threads are in a typical penalty flag.
If you have the urge to look it up, which I doubt you do. It's rule 2-3-8, most recently updated in 2022.
Easier said then done. A lot of schools do not want to host. too much cost and a headacheThere needs to be a change with the rules of hosting regionals and seeding.

And the 4 seed in the sectional, LWC, just beat JCA yesterday. That is one tough sectional. Good luck to the Tigers. I would love to see them win this sectional.
And whoever wins the PC sectional will most likely have to play Naz in the Super Sectional. Yikes!
