LIVING FOR THE DRAMATIC: Teutopolis stages seventh-inning come-from-behind win to defeat DuQuoin 6-5 and advance to the state tournament for the first time since 2019

4 days ago | effinghamdailynews.com | Alex Wallner

CARBONDALE — All you could say to yourself after a game like Monday night was, "It happened again."For the second straight game, the Teutopolis baseball team mustered a rally in the bottom of the seventh. And for the second straight game, the Teutopolis baseball team won the game. kAm|@?52JVD 82>6 282:?DE sF"F@:? 2E p36 |2CE:? u:6=5 @?

CHARLESTON, Ill. — Isabella Keller never truly expected to be in this moment. The defending 3200-meter state champion hoped to defend her crown, but everything that was going on behind the scenes had her questioning whether she had enough time. kAmu@==@H:?8 4C@DD\4@F?ECJ D62D@?[ z6==6C 3682?

SALEM — The season ended for the Effingham baseball team in the regional championship game for the second straight season.

EHS fell to the Wildcats on Saturday, 8-2. kAmyF56 %C2F3 62C?65 E96 DE2CE 7@C E96 w62CED]k^Am kAmw6 82G6 FA 2 =625@77 H2=< E@ y256? x?=@H] r@5J q62C5 =2:5 5@H?
INSTANT CLASSIC: Teutopolis baseball scores four runs in the bottom of the seventh and upset St. Anthony 5-4 to win its first sectional championship since 2019

TEUTOPOLIS - Luck can be rewarding. Other times, it can be painful and heartbreaking. The sectional championship game pitting St. Anthony and Teutopolis on Saturday at Teutopolis High School Baseball Field had both. Leading by three runs in the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs went to ace pitcher Brock Fearday to deliver, just as he did one season ago in this spot against this very same opponent, and just as he has done all season.
