• Larkin storms back to upend Elgin May 15, 2012 12:00 AM
  When lightning struck near Trout Park in Elgin Shazam! Larkin pitcher Kyle Newquist went from ordinary to extraordinary and secured a 6-5 comeback victory over rival Elgin Tuesday night. Newquist looked quite human as the opener of the 3-game series began. In the first three innings he allowed 5 runs on 3 hits, walked 5 and a hit a batter. Elgins Kiko Mari made him pay with a 3-run double that staked the Maroons to a 5-run lead after an inning. The Royals drew within 5-4 on Niko Morados third-inning grand slam, but the contest was then halted after three innings for an hour due to nearby lightning strikes.
