The author of the game-winning hit in last year’s championship game, Taylor was in the middle of things again Friday. The Glenbard South senior singled in the go-ahead run, then crushed a two-run homer as the Raiders moved closer to a repeat title by beating Tinley Park 5-1 in Friday’s Class 3A state semifinal at Eastside Centre.

Fehlman Memorial has stood the test of time Jun 7, 2013 12:00 AM
Monday’s Tenth annual Fehlman Memorial Senior All-Star Softball Game has plenty of special meaning for St. Edward graduate Lissa Fehlman. Fehlman played in one of the first editions of the game as a Green Wave senior. Much more importantly, the game, which takes place at 6:30 p.m. at Judson University, honors her father and brother. Dave Fehlman, who passed away late in the summer of 2007, is a past president of the Fox Valley Renegades travel softball organization and a longtime area youth softball supporter. The Renegades were the original host of the All-Star event, staging games at East Dundee’s Jockey Field. His son, Robbie Fehlman, was tragically killed by a motorist just after the family moved to Colorado late last summer. Robbie was 13.

Barrington hopes to make history downstate Jun 6, 2013 12:00 AM
Since the IHSA softball state tournament began in 1976, teams from the Mid-Suburban League have won 14 games in the state finals. The majority of those belong to Barrington. The Fillies have won eight, and would love to add two more this weekend. That would make them the first IHSA girls team sport to win a state championship at Barrington High School. The 2007 and 2008 Class 4A state runners-up will try to win one more than those back-to-back banner seasons. The Fillies (35-1) will start that quest when they meet St. Charles East (31-5) in Friday’s 3 p.m. semifinal at the Eastside Center.
