Maine South freshman reliever Sam Higgins got a key out in the seventh against New Trier, helping the Hawks earn a big victory over the Trevains on Thursday. The win in Park Ridge saw the Hawks improve to 13-3 in the CS South and let them earn at least a share of the crown.
With the Central Suburban South title on the line Wednesday, Maine South had built a 6-1 lead over visiting New Trier through 6 innings.And when the next New Trier batter went to a 2-0 count, Hawks head coach Brian Lorenz made the gutsy move to call freshman lefty Sam Higgins in from the pen.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service "He's been getting the job done all year," said Maine South coach Brian Lorenz of Higgins."He hasn't acted like a freshman. He's mature for his age group, and being left-handed helps."
Maine South scored 2 runs in the first inning, with seniors Joe Ward and Kerim Orucevic getting the runs batted in.
With the game on the line, the freshman threw a first pitch strike. New Trier's Ben Toft then worked the count to 3-1 before hitting the popup that closed out the game."Being a freshman," he said,"I didn't expect to get this many innings, but it's been exciting."
