Much like the Kentucky Derby and the AdventHealth 400 in NASCAR last weekend, the Mid-Illini race in baseball is shaping up to be a photo finish after Morton, Dunlap, Washington and East Peoria all share the lead with an 8-3 mark in conference play after Monday’s slate of games.
Normal Community clinched a share of the Big 12 title while Richwoods and Normal U-High picked up big wins as well in baseball. Most Mid-Illini teams were in action in softball, but the most important wins of the day came from Normal West and Olympia. A handful of events in girls soccer, track and field, girls lacrosse and boys tennis were also on tap.
