It was enough, in fact, to secure a 2-1 win over Richards in the semifinals of the Class 4A Joliet West Regional.

FRANKFORT – Lockport knew they had to take a grinder approach to dealing with its opponent on Wednesday afternoon. Fortunately, that’s just fine with Porters. “I think Lockport baseball always thrives on a challenge,” Lockport coach Scott Malinowski said.
