Homewood-Flossmoor varsity baseball team won Friday's home non-conference game against Marian Catholic High School by a close score of 7-6.

Varsity Head Coach Todd Sippel felt the team didn’t play to their full potential and not being able to work on the field during practices due to rain really impacted the game, but a win is always the best payback.

“It wasn’t perfect, but we got a victory. I’m very happy with the victory. We played good enough to win,” Varsity Head Coach Todd Sippel said. “It’s been really tough because the field has been wet, so we haven’t got a lot of time on the field. It’s been really rough this year. We’ve been getting a lot of swings in and it showed today. We hit the ball really well.”

We were so into the game. You could see all of us standing up and cheering each player on as they made a hit or even if they made a stellar play, but overall I feel like they really had an amazing game. From watching the team at the end of the game and seeing how they reacted to the win, they were proud of their hard work and dedication they put into the game and practices which led them to play the game how they were supposed to and win the game,” Sophomore Laurel White said.

Freshman Carlton (Tre) Hondras was very grateful about him being able to move up onto the Varsity baseball team with upperclassmen and is glad to be able to call the team family.

“It feels good. I’m real humble because I have the opportunity to play up and play with the older team with seniors and juniors. It’s just a blessing and I’ve worked hard for it,” Freshman Carlton (Tre) Hondras said. “ When I first got on the team they treated me like family and that’s all I wanted.”

According to maxpreps.com the star players of the game were Freshmen Carlton (Tre) Hondras, Juniors Brendan Hurley, Tyler Ross and Kyle Salley.

"I really, really believed that one run was going to win it," WVU head coach Randy Mazey said.

Early on Donato was dominant on the mound. He had five strikeouts in the first two frames and tied a career-high of 10 with a strikeout to start the fifth.

Dane Kutnik had turned on the jets, but he couldn’t even catch up to the ball. The ball had rolled all the way to the fence. May I remind you that we played on a 300 foot fence. I still cannot believe that he had thrown the ball all the way to the cut without the ball bouncing once. Tanner had been lined up perfect with me and the second he felt the ball in his glove he had rifled it to me.

They had won. James did it, he had done what he’d promised, to win it for Wesley, not for himself, not for his team, but for Wesley. He was crying tears of triumph, James had gone through so much, outlasting an injury, having his best friend die, no one would step in the way of James, no one. James didn’t party after the game, he didn’t do anything except go to the cemetery, where his friend was buried. He set the number 17 jersey on the gravestone, and wrote on the back right under the number 17 “We did it Wesley, we won the state title again, I wish you could’ve been here to share the moment with us.

Accepting a position to play with the top team in the next highest age group in my club was a great opportunity, although I was certain that it would present obstacles to overcome.

“Unfortunately, Jack, there will not be many opportunities for you this year.” Seconds after being told I had made the varsity baseball team, I did not expect my coach to so bluntly tell me I would be spending more time watching the game than playing it. Our state ranked team had a pitching staff full of Division 1 commitments and future MLB draft picks, and I was being told I did not measure up. The bench became my best friend.

I’ll admit it, I’m not the best player on my team. And as we all know, there’s only so many spots for the varsity team. So in no way did I expect to make varsity as a sophomore. However, I didn’t expect my friends too, either. The preseason had gone well: we practiced in the gym

As he saw the dark sky right above the trees in center field as the moon glimmered down on the field he felt as nervous as a cat that hears a mouse in the wall. The roaring of the crowd was in the air like a pack of howling wolves everyone excited to see what Aaron would do in his last at bat of the year. Finally, the first pitch simmers past him as the umpire screeched “Strike one”! The pitches then went by and they were all balls. By now the count was 3-1 against Aaron and he knew if the pitcher wanted to have a chance at getting him out.

Emily, a girl with such a bubbly and outgoing personality, was eager for me to see her newly improved cartwheel she had been working on for months. It was a humbling feeling to know that I was able to make such an impact that they were counting down the days to when they could see me again.
