BASEBALL
New Trier’s season came to an end in the 4A third-place game with a strong 9-4 victory over York. Brenden Stressler bashed his way to 4 RBIsin his last game before taking his talent to Saint Louis University.
This, after a 4-0 loss to Brother Rice in the state semis ended the Trevians’ title dream.

HERE are a few of Rob Lange’s shots from the 2-0 super-sectional win over Stevenson.
Dominic Savino, Glenbrook North baseball coach since 2010, is stepping away from his role to spend more time with family. Marty Maciaszek in his excellent newsletter on the MSL, Mid Suburban Legends And Beyond, wrote about Savino.
The growth of his family, with Michael now 13, Anna (10) and Nicholas (7), led to his decision to inform the school before this season it would be his last as head coach. Savino will be succeeded by assistant coach and 2005 GBN grad Justin Weiner.
“I can always go back to being a head coach at some point, but I’ll never have a second chance to see my kids grow up,” Savino said. “I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to coach in a community that supports baseball the way Northbrook does. We had great players and supportive parents throughout my tenure at GBN.”
Stepping in to coach is current Spartans assistant and 2005 GBN graduate Justin Weiner.
