  Sophomore Alex Masnica capped off Elk Grove’s trio of home runs in a big way Saturday afternoon. After Becca Maher and Brooke Barges had already cleared the fence earlier in the game with solo blasts, Masnica walloped a 2-run walk-off homer to left center with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Grens a 5-4 victory in Game 1 of a doubleheader with visiting Elk Grove. Gina Cirrincione doubled to set up Masnica’s blast which gave pitcher Mary Hirschauer the complete game win that included 6 strikeouts and 1 walk. The Grenadiers went on to sweep the twin bill with a 13-2 five-inning victory as freshman Taylor Leach fired a 4-hitter with 8 strikeouts and 1 walk. She also belted a triple.

  Time for a Wheeling MSL water polo titleMay 8, 2014 12:00 AM
  In water polo, the Mid-Suburban West has decisively been the stronger of the league’s two divisions. Though a combined Prospect-Wheeling team did win an overall MSL title when those programs were still combining into one team, no single East Division school had ever won an overall conference crown in either gender. Somebody had to be first, and it turned out to be Wheeling. It was anything but easy, and Conant’s girls water polo team made sure of that in a nutty overtime game that finished 11-10 in favor of the Wildcats on Thursday at Conant.

• Fremd finishes ‘curse’ with MSL triumphMay 2, 2014 12:00 AM
  Fremd ended its curse Friday at the Mid-Suburban League boys gymnastics meet at Palatine on Friday. The Vikings had always found themselves on the short end at the conference meet, with several near misses at winning a league championship. “We have had some very good teams here,” Fremd coach Tim Hamman said. “But there is always a Conant, or Palatine or some other team that has a state-qualifying team.” Not this year, though, as Fremd proved to be the best of the bunch in winning its first MSL title with a score of 136.95. The Vikings are also MSL West Division champs.
