Kiser keys big opener for Lake Zurich May 20, 2013 12:00 AM
Tanner Kiser received a mini-celebratory dousing of small cups of water over his head from a couple of Lake Zurich baseball teammates late Monday afternoon. Maybe they wanted to make sure the left-handed hitting first baseman didn't cool off too much. Not after the only thing that may have prevented him from hitting for the cycle was not getting a fourth at-bat in the Class 4A Lake Zurich regional quarterfinal against Prospect. Kiser homered, tripled and doubled and drove in 5 runs and cleanup man Anthony Drago went 3-for-4 with a homer and 4 RBI as the 14th-seeded Bears (15-16) stayed hot and extended their winning streak to 5 games as they rolled 13-0 in 5 innings.

But when it came off in the final two innings, Courtney Cotugno and Sarah Murray were personally responsible for not only doing so, but for helping Jacobs to play another game. Cotugno, who was called out at second on a controversial call in the fourth, redeemed herself in the sixth by singling home Murray, who doubled earlier in the inning, for the first Jacobs run in a 5-0 win over No. 4 Crystal Lake South in a Class 4A Jacobs regional play-in game in Crystal Lake Monday.
