Peoria High hasn't won a varsity baseball game in over three years. That hasn't stopped the Lions from shying away from the process of building their program back up and showing up every day.

HOIC baseball and softball, Big 12 baseball and more than a handful of track and field meets made up a busy day in the area.

4 softball teams from the Twin Cities and Mid-Illini won, a walk-off from Delavan and no-hitter from Richwoods in baseball and soccer shutouts highlighted Thursday's slate.

After not playing baseball for 3 years, East Peoria's Dalton Oakman is rapidly becoming a big arm for a strong Raiders squad.

Pekin softball has taken a big leap this season with an experienced, well-rounded group and is believing it can stay in contention for the Mid-Illini title.

East Peoria, El Paso-Gridley and Fieldcrest baseball all won in thrilling finishes to highlight Wednesday's action.
