In a rare start, Christian Bartels borrows a bat.
The result is Naperville Central’s first regional title since 2015.

Started the semifinal of the DVC tournament against Waubonsie which resulted in a 4-0 shutout W to take us to the championship. Continued confidence and ability to locate all of my pitches (4S,2S,CB,CH) in all counts. Stat-line ⬇️ @BaseballNCHS

The Redhawks take the DVC tournament championship yesterday! A great day to be a Redhawk! Regional semifinal is next Wednesday at 4:30 PM at NCHS. See you all there

[Coach Zimm @ZimmCoach]

After 16.2 innings pitched against conference foes, I feel like a .037 batting average against is remarkable. The 2-0 with a save and a 0.00 ERA with 28 Ks isn’t too shabby either… @HensonMax4 leading a staff that has done a lot of good work as a whole.

This past Wednesday we had our senior night. A record number (17) here at Naperville Central. A fantastic group of young men.

[Max Henson @HensonMax4]

Had my last outing before we prepare to make a deep push in the DVC tournament next week and playoffs the following week. Had great feel for all of my pitches (4S,2S,CB,CH) accounting for 78% strikes thrown. Stat-line ⬇️ @BaseballNCHS

Got the start in an important matchup against a solid Yorkville squad which was the last game before sectional seedings become finalized. Battled hard, and ended up throwing a CG shutout with the help of my teammates in the field. Stat-line ⬇️ @BaseballNCHS

1st Start for @BaseballNCHS results in an 8-0 Win against Batavia. We move to 2-1 on the season. Command for 4S/2S, and CV felt great with the occasional CH thrown in the mix.
