Jacob Parr earns start Saturday and strikes out five for Lemont.
Lemont’s Jacob Parr throws a pitch against Crystal Lake Central during the Class 3A state championship game at Duly Health and Care Field in Joliet on Saturday, June 8, 2024. Parr hadn’t been on the mound in the playoffs, so he was a bit taken aback Saturday when coach“I was a little surprised, you could say, but I was ready to get it done,” he said. “Earlier in the week, I threw a good pen, and I’ve been working toward this all week.
“Unfortunately they’re a good team, too. He left a couple pitches over the plate and they hit them hard. That’s baseball.” As a team, Lemont certainly surprised many people by making it all the way to the state final. The team graduated 18 seniors in 2023 and returned just one starter for this spring.
Lemont built a 2-0 lead as Madej singled and scored on a wild pitch in the third inning and Berardi singled homeBut the Tigers rallied with two runs in the fifth before Ozment delivered the game-winning triple in the sixth off Madej.
