Every baseball fan loves to see their team win every game, but unfortunately you can’t win them all. Every once and a while your team wont be able to hit anything. So when is the last time your team went hitless?

The unique names of Illinois locations, which is the best?
I was looking at the Illinois map recently and saw the names of some of the towns, villages, cities and unincorporated areas and couldn’t help but laugh at some of the names. Some are funny and some are just different but in the end they stand out. I thought I would put down a list of all the names that caught my attention and maybe they will catch your attention too! If you want to, in the comments box you can pick out your 5 or 10 favorite names and we can try and find out which name is truly the best one in Illinois.

RIP Baby Martorano 2002-2010
attack of the allergies haha
“Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Beyond the door
There’s peace I’m sure.
And I know there’ll be no more…
Tears in heaven”
Eric Clapton- Tears in Heaven
Dogs are man’s best friends, and Baby was just that. She had some sort of magnetic attraction to our crazy family. She loved everyone and we all loved her.
All Access with Maria Sorrentino
Whoever says women are not tough will change their mind when they meet sophomore softball player Maria Sorrentino. She played t-ball and baseball with boys growing up before she made the switch to softball.
“It was nice always standing out,” Sorrentino said. “People notice (you) quickly when there’s only one girl out there. I grew up in a neighborhood full of boys, so I was used to always being one of them.”
While some others might have been a little uneasy being the only one out there, Sorrentino used it as motivation to be a better competitor.

All Access with Dan Rowe
Most freshman athletes come in and have to adjust to a new style of game play. But freshman center fielder Dan Rowe is consistently trying new things he never has before.
A natural infielder, mostly having played second base, Rowe has been thrown into the outfield as a collegiate athlete and is currently the starting center fielder. That would not be much of an issue if not for one thing.
“Being in the outfield is just a huge change for me,” Rowe said. “I never even owned an outfield mitt. I don’t think I even played outfield in little league. I knew I was terrible at judging the fly balls from the few times I was out there… It is just weird; I am just so used to the infield. I am getting the hang of it now.” Read More…
Recruiting 101
By Dion Martorano
CHS grad Matt Miller
There are 1,696 players in the National Football League and 800 players in Major League Baseball and most of these athletes all have one thing in common, they all got recruited into college.
An athlete chooses a college that fits them best and where they feel they can make their greatest impact.
The question though is how do they come about making their choice and how do the coaches select these athletes to one day have a chance to make it to the pros and help their program out.
The coaches look for talent when they recruit but it is not everything they look for. If the athlete is local, than it is an added benefit.
All Access with Abby Wood [2 versions]
1) Unedited original version
Abby Wood is one of the easiest people to spot at Eastern. On the softball field she is helping direct traffic behind the plate as the catcher. In the dugout she is the one yelling out the chants at the top of her lungs. At the other sports at Eastern, you can almost always catch her in the stands cheering on her fellow athletes.
That is who she is, personable and outgoing; she makes her presence known wherever she goes.
All Access with Kevin Flack
When it comes to having a unique sporting resume, it might be hard to find one quite like sophomore golfer Kevin Flack’s.
Golf is mostly an individual sport but Flack grew up playing a lot of different sports that involved teamwork.
He also played one sport that one wouldn’t think a golfer would participate in.
Interesting facts about…ME!
I do a weekly article about a new person every week and give everyone an insight into their life. I bring you into their life and see things from their side. But I figure, i won’t have any articles done on me anytime soon, so I have decided to put together some interesting facts about me that you may or may not have known. I feel I am a pretty interesting person and I have done a lot of cool things during my life, or had some cool things happen to me.
