Glenbard South rallied with 4 seventh-inning two-out runs, and then scored the game-winner in the bottom of the eighth on Justin Joseph’s sacrifice fly as the Raiders claimed a stunning 6-5 victory over Latin in the Class 3A Glenbard South regional final Saturday in Glen Ellyn.

The Hawks (27-9) now advance to play St. Charles East on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in the St. Charles East sectional. The Saints beat Bartlett 4-1 on April 9.

Bartlett’s VanDyke outduels Hoffman’s Ward May 25, 2013 12:00 AM
If Hoffman Estates pitcher Jimmy Ward performed against any other team as he did against Bartlett Saturday, the Cinderella run for the 18th-seeded Hoffman may have ended in a regional championship celebration. Instead, the Evansville-bound Ward, who pitched 6 solid innings of 5-hit ball, giving up 1 earned with 2 strikeouts, was upstaged by Bartlett’s Doug VanDyke, who lost a no-hitter in the seventh during a late Hoffman rally, but concluded matters to earn a shutout and Bartlett a 2-0 win for its second-consecutive Class 4A regional title in Bartlett.
