  Mundelein’s Hemmer hammers away May 24, 2012 12:00 AM
  Rounding first base hard had become the norm for Alex Hemmer, but this time Mundelein's softball slugger stood on the bag. Then like all good base runners, she looked at her coach for instructions. She saw Mustangs head coach Brett Wilhelm flashing numbers. "My coach kept throwing numbers at me and I had no idea what he was trying to tell me," Hemmer said with a laugh. "I was like, OK, I'm just going to keep hitting.' " Wilhelm wasn't giving Hemmer the steal sign, however, nor trying to tell her how many outs there were. "I was showing (assistant) coach (Pete) Nadler how many RBIs she had. I'm like, I think it's 7,' " Wilhelm said. "You could hear them all talking in the dugout." True. Hemmer's 2-run single in the third followed her 2-RBI base hit in the second and her 3-run homer in the first. She belted a solo shot in the fifth, finishing 4-for-4 with 2 homers and 8 RBI, as third-seeded Mundelein pounded No. 2 Libertyville 15-0 in five innings in a semifinal of the Class 4A Carmel regional Wednesday.
