Super Monday promises lots of super baseball, softball games

Here's a snapshot look, still using the wide-angle lens, at Monday's super matchups involving teams from the Daily Herald's print circulation area.

At 7:30 p.m., or thereabouts after the Class 3A super between Grayslake Central and Fenwick, Stevenson will put its 30-9 record on the line against New Trier . The intriguing bonus to this game is the chance to see New Trier junior Justin Wood, the probable starter for the Trevians. Wood is the son of former Cubs great Kerry Wood, who is an assistant coach at New Trier.

Class 3A baseball The opener of the twin bill at Wintrust pits another Lake County heavyweight, Grayslake Central, against Fenwick with the first pitch slated for 5 p.m. The Rams , who went 18-0 in the Northern Lake County Conference under 20th year head coach Troy Whalen, last reached a super in 2019 and are seeking their fourth trip to state and first since 2014. Fenwick lost to Crystal Lake South in the supersectional round last year.

At Barrington, it'll be déjà vu as the Fillies host Warren , the same team they beat 6-0 in the 2022 super at the Fields of Dreams. This year, coach Perry Peterson's Barrington squad has been hitting home runs at a record pace and the Fillies have yet to be tested in the postseason, winning their four games by a cumulative 37-6 score. Warren, meanwhile has nearly been eliminated a couple of times.
