Buffalo Grove just doesn’t worry. Even when the 17th-seeded Bison were trailing top-seeded Mundelein 5-0 in the top of the fourth inning, Buffalo Grove didn’t flinch. And when the Bison rallied to close the gap to 8-6 in the sixth inning and Mundelein brought in Mitch Schulewitz, one of the area’s top pitchers, still Buffalo Grove was nearly emotionless. But the Bison did finally explode when right fielder Nick Capinelli caught a flyball for the final out of the game as Buffalo Grove rallied to stun Mundelein 11-9 Thursday at the St. Viator regional in Arlington Heights.

And how blessed the 6-foot-2½, 250-pound left-hander was to get the chances to put on his school’s football and baseball uniforms at all during his senior year.

Hersey hangs on, and moves on May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
It was nervous time for regional host Hersey at Ken Carter Gymnasium in Arlington Heights. In the deciding game of the regional final Wednesday, the Huskies had run out to an virtually insurmountable 22-12 lead in their quest for a big upset victory over state-ranked Glenbrook North. Then sixth-seeded Hersey watched almost helplessly as the Spartans staged an impossible rally, scoring 11 of the next 13 points to close the gap to 24-23. And with the large crowd on its feet in a fever pitch, and North poised to tie the match, junior Mike Fuerst put down one of the biggest kills in the storied history of the Hersey program. The 6-foot-7 middle blocker's final spike, his 10th kill of the match, completed a 25-23, 18-25, 25-23 win over a team that was runner-up in state last season and ranked No. 1 earlier this year.
