After a leadoff home run by Fremd second baseman Amanda Poniecki, Saints junior Makayla Van Dinther quickly settled down and her No. 6-seeded team rallied for a tense 3-2 win over No. 1 Fremd in a Class 4A Fremd Sectional semifinal Tuesday.

Batavia senior Isaiah Brown finished the Class 3A triple jump preliminary round in second place to lead the eight finals-bound performances at the IHSA Boys Track and Field state championships. Plus, St. Charles North and St. Charles East softball won regional titles.

Kaneland scored twice in the top of the seventh with two outs to even the score, but Makayla Malone's walk-off hit in the bottom half secured a 4-3 victory for Crystal Lake Central in Friday's Class 3A Woodstock North Regional final.
