Baseball: Nazareth denies Grayslake Central in 3A championship game

Grayslake Central’s first trip to the Class 3A state championship game was a disappointment only in the final score. The Rams felt short, losing to Nazareth Academy 7-2 Saturday at Duly Stadium in Joliet. It was the second consecutive Class 3A title for Nazareth (34-6). The Roadrunners only allowed five runs in their six tournament games. The second-place finish, which came in front of a large and boisterous fan group that made the 90-minute trek from Grayslake, was the highest finish in school history.
