GUM DISEASE & YOUR HEART

Q: Can gum disease cause other health problems?

A: It’s long been known that your oral health is closely related to your overall health. New research has found that chronic periodontitis, an inflammatory gum disease, is potentially related to the severity of heart attacks, also called myocardial infarctions. Researchers from the University of Granada in Spain studied 112 heart attack patients and tested them for a variety of conditions, including periodontal health. Their preliminary findings were that there is a relationship between gum disease and the severity of heart attacks. Their findings were published in the prestigious Journal of Dental Research under the title, “Acute myocardial infarct size is related to the periodontitis extent and severity.” Research is continuing.

Medical experts have known for some time, however, that bacteria from gum infection – and from other ailments in the mouth – can get into the blood stream and cause problems. Researchers have found, for instance, that people who suffer from gum disease are twice as likely to suffer from coronary artery disease as those without gum disease. Several years ago, as published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, doctors determined that in the case of a 35-year-old mother who had a stillborn birth, the baby’s stomach and lungs contained the same strain of oral bacteria the mother had in her untreated gum disease.

Talk with your dentist about the steps you can take to avoid gum disease.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – Time to break out the peanuts and Cracker Jack, baseball has returned to Downers Grove.

Hundreds of young athletes took to the streets Saturday to kick off the baseball season in Downers Grove with the annual Downers Grove Youth Baseball Parade.

The parade ran through the streets of downtown to Fishel Park for the season’s official opening ceremony.

Five hundred participants ages 6 to 12 were anticipated, and South Paw, the Chicago White Sox mascot, was on hand to help with the celebrations.

Following the ceremony, athletes dispersed to ballfields in town to begin their seasons.

Downers Grove sperm bank seeks dismissal of lawsuit

By EVAN SHIELDS eshields@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A Downers Grove sperm bank facing a lawsuit over mixed up sperm samples has requested the case against it be dismissed.

Lawyers representing Midwest Sperm Bank LLC filed the motion to dismiss last week.

Uniontown, Ohio, resident Jennifer Cramblett filed suit against the bank in September 2014, claiming wrongful birth and breach of contract. Cramblett said there was a mix-up at the bank that led to her being inseminated with the sperm of a black donor instead of the white donor she and her partner selected.

has caused hardship for them because they live in a “racially intolerant” community.

“All of the thought, care and planning that she and Amanda had undertaken to control their baby’s parentage had been rendered meaningless,” the lawsuit stated. “In an instant, Jennifer’s excitement and anticipation of her pregnancy was replaced with anger, disappointment and fear.”

Cramblett’s attorney did not return a call for comment. Cramblett is requesting a jury trial and damages in excess of $50,000.

Court proceedings regarding the lawsuit are scheduled to resume Thursday, according to the DuPage County Clerk of the Circuit Court website.

For now, she’s focusing on the retail aspect of the bakery, but the business may expand in the future. Perez said it’s possible she could offer classes out of the shop.

“I’m open to anything right now,” she said.

Chamber630 President Laura Crawford said she is excited to welcome Just Crumbs to Downers Grove.

“Just Crumbs is a great addition to our beautiful downtown. Gabi is so passionate about her art, her results are amazing,” Crawford said in a statement.

The bakery’s grand opening was April 21. Perez also had a booth at the Taste of 630 event.

Making sure children Some sour notes mar good are ready to learn OUR VIEW

moves by new COD board

If you were hoping the new majority on the College of DuPage Board of Trustees would hit the ground running at their first meeting, starting the process of repudiating all the controversial decisions we’ve seen out of the school in the past year, then you were likely thrilled with what you saw at Thursday’s meeting.

If you felt, though, the winners from the April 7 election should allow the outgoing board members to recede into obscurity with at least a little bit of dignity, well, that didn’t happen.

Some strife is inevitable. The three holdovers from the previous board lineup who represent the former majority aren’t likely to support the four members, led by new Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton, in many of their efforts to roll back all of those bad decisions.

There are going to be a lot of 4-3 votes, as there were Thursday.

Putting its stamp on President Robert Breuder’s medical leave by voting to put him on administrative leave – good. Now he can’t declare his medical leave ended and go back to work at any time he pleases. Moving forward with a state-run audit of the college’s finances – also good. We need clarity on whether the college has been a good steward of tax dollars and students’ tuition.

Hiring temporary legal counsel for the board that had previously represented Hamilton – an eyebrow raiser for sure.

What was decidedly not good was the political theater around the awarding of “certificates of appreciation” for outgoing board members Kim Savage and Nancy Svoboda.

New Vice Chairwoman Deanne Marie

Ann Pinkney is senior director of marketing and communications for Metropolitan Family Services.

Suburban Life Media Editorial Board Laura Burke, Dave Lemery, Matt Hendrickson, Anna Schier, Alex Soulier, Mary Beth Versaci

Mazzochi, part of the “Clean Slate” of candidates that bested Savage and Svoboda at the polls, questioned whether passing the resolutions of appreciation was legally binding and could have an impact on ongoing investigations of the school. To an observer, this line of questioning seems like a mean-spirited dig rather than a sincere concern.

Apparently it wasn’t sufficient to have defeated Savage and Svoboda at the polls, to have been given a mandate from voters that sweeping change was needed on the board.

Instead of being a gracious victor and moving on to clean up the mess made by previous leaders, we have an overt attempt to humiliate those who were defeated. It’s no surprise that Savage and Svoboda chose to leave before the official vote on the certificates.

Kim Savage and Nancy Svoboda took part in votes that were openly derided on this very opinion page, and were part of a former board that generally left the entire Chicago region scratching its collective heads trying to understand what was going on in Glen Ellyn. But surely there’s no harm in taking a moment to recognize their service, letting them have a moment of acknowledgment as their time as public servants came to a close. If the ongoing investigations point fingers in their direction, so be it. That’s another matter for another day.

Being right on many, or even most, of the issues doesn’t give the new board majority carte blanche to treat the new minority, or anyone else, in a disrespectful fashion.

There’s a lot to fix, but showing some decorum in the process would go a long way toward healing the wounds on campus, too.

According to Illinois School Report Card, more than 1 in 4 children in Community Unit School District 200 are from lower-income families, a 221 percent increase from 8.5 percent in 2000. In addition, 8.5 percent have limited English proficiency, up from 3.6 percent in 2000.

To help close the gap, the COMMUNITY Wheaton/Warrenville Early VOICE Childhood Collaborative was Ann formed in spring 2013. The Pinkney Collaborative includes nearly 30 community agencies, early childhood providers and early childhood supporters in DuPage County who are working together to improve kindergarten/ school readiness for children in D-200. The collaborative focuses on increasing access to early childhood resources and services for those in the community’s under-resourced areas.

Lead partners include District 200; the DuPage Foundation, which is financing the Collaborative; and Metropolitan Family Services DuPage, the group’s fiscal agent. Collaborative members knew they needed to better coordinate and unify how they delivered early childhood services and ways to best equip and educate parents to prepare their children for school success.

“A key goal has been to change how services are provided so families can access services more easily,” said Kathy Robson, project director.

Stephanie Farrelly, principal of D-200, said, “The collaborative is crossing boundaries and developing strong linkages to create coordinated community systems to accomplish our common vision. Examples include using a coordinated birth through age five developmental screening process that has resulted in easier access for families, use of a common language between providers, and more children being screened and provided supports as needed before kindergarten.”

The collaborative is generating results. The district has seen an 8 percent increase in students ready for kindergarten as measured by district literacy assessments from fall 2012 to fall 2014.

These efforts also led to the Wheaton/Warrenville community being invited to participate in the Preschool Development Federal Grant Expansion application with the State of Illinois. This grant will expand access to high-quality early education and care for the State’s highest-need 4-year-olds. Wheaton/Warrenville was one of three DuPage communities to be awarded funding through the grant to open three new classrooms with spaces to serve 60 children.

The first classroom is scheduled to open in the fall. For information, contact Kathy Robson at 630-784-4860 or robsonk@metrofamily.org.

SOUND OFF

No to Downers Grove Park District borrowing

Wake up, Downers Grove. More than $2 million was just spent to redesign our library and toss loads of resources. No voter referendum. Now, our Park District wants to borrow more than $4 million to buy 14 acres of private property ... at 355 and Ogden Avenue. Pay attention. No more property tax income from this undesirable real estate. The Park District meets [tomorrow] at the Village Hall at 7 p.m.

Kudos to Downers North band

Purpose of library?

Did the Downers Grove taxpayers spend over $2.5 million for the library so that we can harbor the homeless and the indigent to spend all day, every day, there? And yesterday afternoon, we had a firetruck in the parking lot at the library and an ambulance blocking Curtiss. Six firemen in the lobby for one man. And that’s where our public service goes? Lovely.

Shelters are not zoos

This message is in regards to the woman who just wants to look at animals that are available for adoption. It’s not a zoo. If she wants to look at the animals, she can look on a website or go to the zoo. But then again, she’d have to pay to get into the zoo.

Where would the dogs go?

This is in response to the woman who is telling people to stop volunteering for adoption rescue animals. My rescue is not a brick-and-mortar rescue. We count on the kindness of foster homes and our veterinary offices. Many brick-andmortar rescues have paid staff and some volunteers. If you want to look, so be it, at the dogs in their kennels. The majority of breed rescue dogs are not in these facilities; they are individual rescues, breed specific. So please, do not tell us to stop volunteering, or else where would these dogs go?

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the members of the Downers Grove North High School band (and band conductors), along with guest artist Frank Caruso, for their gracious kindness in performing an outstanding concert on April 14. Their talent is remarkable. I can only imagine the practice and hard work that blossomed into such an excellent performance. I would highly recommend DG plays and concerts as a family activity. You won’t be disappointed. May God abundantly bless them and their families.

How to Sound Off

How does looting help issues surrounding police, crime?

It seems like every time they have some officer shooting somebody, there’s always a riot. ... I can understand them taking out their anger on the police because they see them as the people who perpetrated the crime against their victim. But with this looting and everything, I just don’t understand how that plays into it. That’s why a lot of people don’t have sympathy for these people when something like this happens. They see all the looting that has absolutely nothing to do with the crime that was committed or the police who committed the crime. It’s just ridiculous.

‘Freedom is not free’

America is a free country with freedom of speech. Those folks in the fetal position who worship political correctness do not understand what our First Amendment protects. It protects the right to insult or to be insulted. Freedom is not free.

I’m a retired Chicago Fire Department person from the city of Chicago. I’ve lived out here for 20 years after I retired in 1995-96. I’d like to make a comment about this woman who wrote ... about they should build a firehouse next to a grocery store. Seems she thinks the fire department spends most of their time there. ... I really feel sorry for people who look at the fire department as some kind of bunch of lazy people sitting on their butts all day. ... Downers Grove has an excellent fire department. ... I know what it takes to be a good fireman, and that’s what they are.

spaces, so I have some basis for my comments. There are some aspects of the new design that I am quite satisfied with and some that I would have tried to implement differently. But the plan is a realistic implementation of the project goals given the space constraints.

My personal experience is that village and contractor engineering staffs were readily accessible to the residents and held many meetings. Officials and staff came out to meet with the residents and to look at the neighborhood. All of this costs a lot of money, of course, but perhaps it’s money well spent. I commend the elected village officials for going out of their way to interact with the residents.

OBITUARIES

cuts, colors, d pe amily and friends. Having a flare for fashion, and despite a tight budget, Flo was a model of good taste in attire and decorum throughout her life- her closets overflowing with fashionable clothes and jewelry.

Flo loved children. She spent many "vacations" helping in the homes of newborn nephews/nieces, all of whom remember her fondly. She enjoyed animals, especially the days with her beloved dog "Tinkerbelle" and was quick to agree to care for pets when owners were away from home. She was an election judge for the City of Chicago and supported many local businesses including the Lithuanian Bakery and the historic tavern, the Midget Club.

In 1996 she retired and moved to the Immanuel Senior Residence in Downers Grove to be closer to her family. For 12 years she was responsible for the Catholic Communion Ministry at Immanuel Residence and participated in many activities including Bingo and the Annual Bazaar. She was a member of St Nicholas of Tolentine for many years, and later joined St Joseph Parish when she moved to Downers Grove.

A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 9th at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Downers Grove followed by an interment service at St. Mary Cemetery in Evergreen Park.

Suburban Life honors western suburbs’ young achievers

By MATT LA LUZ mlaluz@shawmedia.com The western suburbs’ best and brightest were recognized recently by Suburban Life Media.

Two area high school students received college merit-based scholarships at an awards reception Thursday at Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge.

Suburban Life partnered with DuPage Credit Union to award $2,000 scholarships to Downers Grove North High School senior Rachel Krusenoski and Downers Grove South High School senior Thomas Matysik.

The winners were chosen based on academic performance, character and commitment to volunteer work and extracurricular activities, and beat out 48 other students who were given certificates of recognition as Suburban Life Scholars.

Event organizer Kelly Buchanan saw the reception as an opportunity to celebrate the community.

“Events like this bring our community together. We are able to recognize the good and share that with the community,” Buchanan said. “Basically, it’s kind of pay-it-forward.”

The selection process for the awards

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

Thomas Matysik (left) of Downers Grove South and Rachel Krusenoski of Downers Grove North (right) are recipients of Suburban Life Scholars scholarships Thursday presented

by Amy Brandt of DuPage Credit Union. started in September and continued through March. Suburban Life newspapers routinely publish profiles of five to eight students nominated by teachers, counselors and other leaders.

A selection committee including representatives from Suburban Life Media and DuPage Credit Union then graded each student based on academic

achievement, community involvement and extracurricular participation to determine who would win the coveted scholarships.

The two winners, both nominated by their counselors, were shocked after seeing the amount of qualified nominees.

Krusenoski – who has a 4.5 GPA and is involved in the school newspaper,

as well as varsity cross country and track – believes it was her ability to focus only on activities she could put her heart into that helped elevate her to attain the scholarship.

“Everything I try to pursue in these last four years is something I pursued with passion,” Krusenoski said. “In doing so I was able to put in a lot of effort and a lot of heart into what I was doing.”

Matysik – who has an ACT score of 35, is on the baseball team and is involved with Peer Leaders and National Honor Society – was initially unsure what made him stand out but attributes his success to participating in a wide variety of activities.

“I don’t really know,” he said.

“I mean I try to focus on being well rounded, whether it be school athletics, academics, like different clubs and stuff, community service.”

Krusenoski plans to major in journalism at the University of Southern California and Matysik will study biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame.

Suburban Life Media General Manager Laura Burke said she looks forward to continuing to honor young achievers through Suburban Life Scholars.

Burke said in the future she would like to see a keynote speaker at the reception.

“We want this to grow,” she said.

vinaigrette. Grilled asparagus and pearl couscous were perfect complements. I am not normally a fan of fish (or asparagus, for that matter), but even I was impressed with the dish and the way it was presented.

I set aside my desire for the bacon-and-blue-cheese-infused hamburger with truffled mayo and sampled the Cuban sandwich. The fresh ground mustard worked well with sweet pickles and the smokiness of the pork, all encased in a perfectly toasted Cuban roll, akin to French bread.

For dessert, we tried the salted caramel cheesecake. It looked so much like ice cream we thought it would be cold, but it was light, fluffy and sweet with the right amount of salted caramel flavor on top of a toasty graham cracker crust.

As chef Irvine noted on “Restaurant Impossible,” the food at Zest has always been

DOWNERS GROVE – A star turn on the Food Network show “Restaurant Impossible” spotlighted Lemon Tree Grocer in Downers Grove and the Zest Bistro located within, where the food has always been center stage.

Celebrity chef Robert Irvine, host of the television program, said it was one of just a few times in years of filming the show that he actually enjoyed the food served at the outset. That’s high praise from a well-regarded chef who never hesitates to call it like he sees it.

That there was nothing wrong with the menu in the first place was confirmed when my date and I recently paid a visit to Zest. Though we were both hungry, we asked our waiter to give us more time to peruse the choices, because every item sounded delectable.

Before picking entrees, we decided to appease our appetites by ordering the short rib nachos appetizer. Thick and crunchy tortilla chips were the foundation for a great blend of flavors that ranged from the sweetness of the beef to the tang of Cotija cheese sauce and lime horseradish crema, with a hint of spiciness from fresh green chilies.

We paired our appetizer with beverages. My date picked a beer from an impressive list of offerings by independent breweries, while I chose the Dark and Stormy Mule served in a copper mug. The rum-based drink did a dance on my taste buds with simple syrup and ginger beer leading the tango.

Irvine’s signature pot roast, introduced to the menu after his recent visit to Downers Grove, must be a fan favorite, as Zest had just served the last of a roast made a bit earlier in the day and was in the process of cooking a second.

My companion was slightly disappointed not to be able to try the dish, but that changed when her salmon entree arrived. The perfectly cooked fillet was coated in a honey mustard glaze and served with a sweet and savory orange mustard

Red Stars Down Sky Blue FC 1-0 in World Cup Send-Off

Colaprico scores first professional goal as Chicago stays unbeaten in 2015 Chicago, Illinois – – The National Women’s Soccer League’s (NWSL) Chicago Red Stars dominated and stayed unbeaten in their third match of the 2015 campaign on Saturday, defeating Sky Blue FC 1-0 behind rookie midfielder Danielle Colaprico’s first tally of her professional career. While the visitors from New Jersey were without all of their World-Cupbound players, the home match served as the Send-Off event for five of the eight Chicago stars who will be competing in this summer’s tournament in Canada.

The Red Stars put pressure on their opponents early and created the first close look in the 5th minute, as defender Taryn Hemmings sprinted up the right wing and sent a dangerous ball to the far post. Teammate Vanessa DiBernardo was unfortunate to see her header from a tight angle sail just over the frame. A mere four minutes later, the hosts’ aggressive approach nearly paid off, DiBernardo coming close to stripping goalkeeper Brittany Cameron of the ball for what would have been a certain tally.

Chicago had its next quality chance moments later. Former Virginia standout Colaprico sent Lori Chalupny down the left and the 31-year-old’s centering pass seemed destined to be tapped home at the doorstep. Instead, it evaded both defenders and attackers, trickling just wide of the far post.

Red Stars striker Christen Press, who came into the game as the newly crowned NWSL Player of the Month for April, had two opportunities to open the scoring in the 18th minute.

After her left-footed attempt from 20 yards out forced a diving save, Press got back on the ball and fired just high from inside the penalty area.

She caused havoc once again halfway through

the first period, this time courtesy of Chalupny, who flew down the left and saw her low firsttime cross rifled just wide by Press.

After an uneventful finish to the opening period, Chicago came out of the break with renewed urgency, and the persistence finally paid off in the 54th minute. Having hit teammate Julie Johnston in the face on her initial blast from just inside the box, Colaprico did everything right on the rebound, smashing a left-footed rocket past the outstretched arms of Cameron to make it 1-0.

The crowd at Benedictine University subsequently had to wait until 15 minutes from full time for another quality opportunity, Chicago’s Chalupny exploding into the box on the left and rifling a laser beam on target that was guided over the bar by the fingertips of Cameron.

Red Stars goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc made her best stop of the match in the 86th minute, leaving her feet and diving to her right to deny Hayley Haagsma’s dangerous header off an in-swinging free-kick from the wing. Cara Walls nearly sealed the deal for the hosts in stoppage time, as she found herself one-on-one with netminder Cameron, who pounced on a lapse in concentration to defuse the threat. It would be the day’s final close look, as the home side earned its second win of 2015.

The Chicago Red Stars look to earn three more points when they take on Boston Breakers this coming Saturday in a doubleheader with MLS outfit Chicago Fire at Toyota Park in Bridgeview.

Stevenson steps up in net for DGN Freshman goalie a pleasant surprise for Trojans soccer

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Grace Stevenson has proven she can play in the big leagues.

In her first year on the varsity soccer team, the Downers Grove North freshman goalkeeper has started all 15 games this season for the Trojans, notching 10 shutouts and powering the girls to a 10-5 record.

“The season has gone a lot better than expected; it’s been an incredible experience and the girls have been great mentors to me along the way,” Stevenson said. “This is an amazingly talented group of girls who are a lot of fun to play with, and my big sisters on the team, senior Kacey Ford and junior Arlinda Osmani, as well as defender Alyse Dutcher have been a huge help on and off the field.”

Before the beginning of the spring soccer season, Stevenson’s role on the team was in doubt. While she likely would have made the varsity squad, it would have been as a backup to last year’s starting keeper, Izzy Greenblatt.

But when Greenblatt decided to not try out for the team this season, the starting netminder role was up for grabs.

Stevenson said the coaching staff notified her right before tryouts that starting job was hers.

“Grace has stepped up in a huge way and played really well for us,” Calder said.

“It’s crazy, she’s given up nine goals in 15 games. She has an enormous upside and is among the multiple underclassman who are painting a really bright future for our soccer program.”

One of four freshman on the varsity roster this spring, Stevenson is used to playing up to her competition, as she was once a goalie on an all-boys club team.

“Playing on the Downers Grove Roadrunners boys team was definitely challenging and was a little bit of a different dynamic,” Stevenson said. “But it was good experience and I got to work on a more aggressive style of play, then bring that over to a different environment.”

In addition to her mental fortitude, Stevenson also has the physical intangibles of a solid goalkeeper. At 5-foot-9, she is listed as the tallest player on the Trojans’ roster and has the wingspan that helps her cover all four corners of the net. Additionally, she has great range and athletic ability that is continually improving, according to Calder.

She also is humble, attributing a portion of her success to the stingy Trojan defense.

“The defense and mids have been unbelievable in front of me,” Stevenson said. “They were so great in bringing me up to speed in the beginning of the season, and since then we have come together really nicely as a unit.”

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

By DAVE OWEN editorial@mysuburbanlife.com

WILL TISCHLER Downers Grove South Volleyball | Senior Why Tischler was selected: The outside hitter had seven kills and three blocks in a West Suburban Gold victory against AT on April 28.

The Mustangs’ reserves also got into the act, as Rebecca Bluder hit a solo home run in the fourth.

“It was a good day overall,” Havelka said. “We hit well and we got everybody some playing time.”

As the win total rises, keeping focus remains a priority for the Mustangs.

“I’m kind of cautious,” Havelka said. “We have to keep getting better and keep trying to get momentum going into the playoffs. But we’re playing well now, and we haven’t had a lot of times where we haven’t played well.”

Buresch’s goals for the rest of the season also apply to the entire Downers South team.

“I just have to practice not getting too ahead of myself,” she said, “and focus on every game, every out and every pitch.”

Tischler: Definitely our passing was extremely consistent because we were able to run all of our middles.

We’ve been told this before, but when you can run all three hitters we’re a deadly team and I think we agree. We passed amazing. Our middles played amazing.

Santaromita: Your coach said it was one of your best matches as a team. Do you agree?

Tischler: I think so. Definitely. Throughout, going for balls and everything. Ups, touches, everything.

Santaromita: This was a big match in the conference race.

What does it mean to you guys?

Tischler: This is a huge con-

fidence booster. Just looking at

Santaromita: What was work- the league I would say Addison ing for you guys against Addison Trail is probably the toughest Trail? competition in our conference.

Hedgcock was 3 for 4 in game one, and Buresch was 2 for 2 with four RBIs. Two hits each by Kristen Bialek, Megan LoBianco, Kristin Lea and Rebekah Ondracek [two triples] added to the attack in the opener, as the Mustangs scored six times in the first inning and rolled from there.

“The girls really came to play, and they played with a lot of energy,” Mustangs coach Ron Havelka said. “We came out and hit the ball well. What was nice was that we scored early. And both pitchers pitched well.”

In game two, RBI singles

Will Tischler, a 6-foot-7 senior outside hitter and member of the Mustangs’ 2013 state championship team, played big in a big match in the West Suburban Gold race April 28. His seven kills and three blocks led the team to a dominant 25-20, 25-14 win against Addison Trail on senior night. Both teams entered the match with undefeated records in conference.

The Mustangs never trailed in the match. Coach Kurt Steuer praised the entire team, saying it was one of the best matches they played all season, but Tischler especially stood out.

Tischler, the Sears Hardware & Appliance Athlete of the Week, talked to Suburban Life sports reporter Dan Santaromita after the match about the big win.

GLEN ELLYN – If it’s possible, Downers Grove South’s unbeaten softball team became ever more perfect Saturday.

Holders of a perfect 22-0 record after a 12-1, 14-0 doubleheader sweep at Glenbard West in matching five-inning games, the Mustangs had added reason to celebrate in game two when sophomore pitcher Payton Buresch [10-0 record] tossed her first-career perfect game.

Buresch’s nine strikeouts included eight of the first nine hitters she faced. The 15th and last out was the defensive play of the day. On a low line drive to shallow center field, freshman Lindsey Herrmann made a sliding catch on her knees to complete the perfect game.

“That was a little scary, but thanks to Lindsey – wow, that was a fantastic catch, just amazing,” Buresch said.

“Everyone backs me up really well. I can trust my defense.

“I’ve been really focusing on my rise ball, and it was working today. Then I kept them off balance by throwing my change-up.”

Both of the Mustangs’ pitching aces dominated. Caroline Hedgcock (11-0) allowed just two hits and an unearned run, striking out eight in the first game.

The pitching aces also provided big offense. Both Hedgcock and Buresch went 4 for 5 at the plate for the doubleheader, with Buresch hitting a three-run double for the key hit of game one.

BREAKOUT PLAYERS

New stars emerging for area baseball, softball teams sophomore ball and did really well, and now he’s a starter for us,” Orel said.

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Each spring provides a chance for baseball and softball players to make their mark, some for the first time at the varsity level. Here are a few players having breakout seasons on the diamond:

SOFTBALL

Rebecca Bluder

School: Downers Grove South Year: Freshman Impact: On a team that returns most of

the standout players from last season’s successful team, Bluder has been able to crack the starting lineup. Adjusting to varsity ball is never easy, but Bluder has held her own while playing at third base. “She’s getting better at third for us,” South head coach Ron Havelka said. “She’s playing pretty good defense. She’s done pretty well there for us.”

BASEBALL

Matt Alisauskis

School: Westmont Year: Junior Impact: Coming up from the sopho-

more team, Alisauskis earned one of the most important roles on the team: Batting at the No. 2 hole in the order between Charlie Donovan and Joe Donovan. “We needed somebody to step up there, and he has done that,” Cocks said of Alisauskis. In addition to being a reliable staple as the No. 2 hitter, Alisauskis has provided solid defense at a number of positions, including third base.

Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com

Downers Grove South’s Corey Vondra receives a high-five April 20 after driving in a run in Megan Ramsden a game against Willowbrook. Vondra did not play for South as a freshman but has been a School: Downers Grove North Year: Senior staple in the lineup as a junior this season.

Impact: Ramsden was a varsity player

then slid into the starting rotation and has since earned three wins, including one against Lyons Township on Friday. “He does a lot of nice things for Ryan Cantlin us,” Downers Grove North coach Chad School: Downers Grove North Isaacson said. “You’re not going to be Year: Junior Impact: Cantlin hasn’t pitched the most oohed and aahed by his size, but … I innings for Downers Grove North love the way he competes.” this season, but he has been extremely productive when he’s been on the Corey Vondra mound. He started the season as the School: Downers Grove South Trojans closer and earned three saves, Year: Junior

last season, but she has seen her role

Impact: A regular attendee of baseball increase this season. She pitched limcamps at Downers Grove South growing up, Vondra opted to play volleyball the spring of his freshman year but was on the sophomore team last year.

He has seen time primarily in center field but also at third base, and DGS head coach Darren Orel said Vondra also could be a pitcher going forward.

“The kids talked him into playing summer ball [freshman year] and he had some success, stuck with it and played

ited innings last season behind former ace Dale Ryndak, but this year Ramsden has become North’s primary pitcher and leads the way with eight wins and 51 innings pitched with a unique pitching style. “She’s not going to blow anybody away, but she has probably six to eight inches of break on her fastball,” North head coach Eric Landschoot said.

“Batters … think they’re going to make good contact and it drops on them.”
