THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
Matt Basgall Lake Forest 10s
Baseball: Basgall, who hit .596 this summer, helped the Lake Forest Baseball Association’s 10A team to a first-place finish in the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League (LSFBA) tournament. Lake Forest, which was coach by Frank Berry, defeated No. 1 seeded Evanston 2-0 in the title game on July 28. The team broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fifth, when Pierce Grieve, who had singled, scored on a sacrifice fly by Jackson Pearre. LF added a second run in the frame, when Basgall singled and came around to score on a groundball single by Henry Pickus. Three pitchers — Grieve, Basgall and Richie Hoskins — worked two innings each to share the shutout. Lake Forest (18-7 overall), seeded No. 2, advanced to the final after edging Northbrook 7-6. “That was the big rivalry game,” said Berry. Brody Hender had a pair of doubles and drove in two runs against Northbrook. Basgall finished the game with three hits, while Hoskins added two hits. LF finished the season on an eight-game win streak. Two other players hit over .400: Charlie Haggerty (.460) and Grieve (.442). The team batted .376 as a team. Jacob Levy/Max Kaufman New Trier White 13s
Baseball: Levy and Kaufman proved to be unhittable
in the semifinal round of the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League (LSFBA) tournament. In the 13 American playoffs, the two New Trier White pitchers combined on a no-hitter in the team’s 3-0 victory over Northbrook. Levy started and worked six innings. Kaufman closed it out to earn his fourth save of the year. A day later, New Trier White (14-9) upended Skokie 3-1 in the championship. This time, the Matt Rice-coached squad received strong pitching from Andy Paden (4 IP) and Joey Klingler (3 IP). Klingler also had a key hit in the game, when he singled home Levy, who had tripled. Peter Mangan had an RBI groundball in the contest. Finn McNulty walked, stole second and scored one of the team’s three runs. Levy’s success in the tournament was no surprise. During the regular season he had a 13-strikeout, fiveinning performance. Jordan Wilson New Trier White 14s
Baseball: This was clutch. Wilson made a memory in the 14 American championship game of the Lake Shore Feeder Baseball League (LSFBA) playoffs on July 28 at Wagner Field in Northfield. With New Trier White trailing New Trier Gray 9-8 in the bottom of the seventh, Wilson came to bat with one out and the bases loaded. Moments later, he ripped

a pitch to the fence in right-center field to score Ryan Sivertsen from second and Clay Desmond from third. Jake Collyer, who came on in relief, earned the win. NT White, which finished 8-8 in the LSFBA regular season, was the fourth seed. The Owen Schnappercoached team took down the No. 1 seed, Northbrook, in the semifinal round 9-4. Erik Findling and Griffin Stateman were the heroes. Findling pitched five innings of shutout baseball. Stateman drilled a no-doubt-about-it, two-run home run, which tied the game 4-4. “High school seniors would have been impressed with that home run,” said Schnapper.
