Ethan Dorchies brought his A-game to Saturday's Class 3A Cary-Grove Regional championship against rival Prairie Ridge.
The Cary-Grove junior right-hander, who is committed to the University of Illinois-Chicago tossed a complete-game, 12-strikeout, 1-0 shutout as the No. 1 seed Trojans survived the No. 8 Wolves' upset bid, en route to an absolutely nail-biting regional crown.
"I was trying to spot the ball different places, and I felt like my splitter was really getting good movement today. Just anything to keep their hitters guessing, really." P-R also got a single from cleanup hitter Mason McKim in the second, reached on leadoff hitter Brennan Coyle's hit-by-pitch in the 3rd, and notched a two-out single in the sixth courtesy of Tyler Vasey.
The game's lone run came in the bottom of the fourth. Trojans shortstop Dane Schuster was hit by the first pitch of the inning. Two batters later, cleanup hitter Nathan Crick singled, creating a first and third situation with one out. The throw to the plate was cut off by Wolves first baseman McKim, who turned and relayed the toss to catcher Vic Flores, but Schuster's slide beat the tag by an eyelash.
