You cannot outperform your self-image. Great line…review some bad swings, sure… but don’t forget to play your great ABs on loop in your head. Be confident in your prep and be confident on the field. The rest will take care of itself. Be your own biggest fan… @stce_baseball

A big tip of the cap to Coach Dinuzzo and the @STCEGirlsSoccer squad on an outstanding 2026 campaign. Although your playoff run ended earlier than you may have expected, you all continue to set the bar for excellence for our student-athletes and community.

Nothing to do but get right back to work!⚜️👊

[Derek Sutor @CoachSutor]

The last 24 hours haven’t been easy, but the chapter of the 2026 Fighting Saints is officially done.

Every season, after the last loss of the season, I officially retire the hat from the season.

All the dirt.
All the sweat.
All the work.
All the memories.
They belong to the 2026 Saints. ⚜️

Season 20 in the books. I am proud of what the 2026 Varsity Saints did for this program, especially the Seniors. They started back a year ago, during the summer, setting the tone for the program and not wanting to settle for average results. We formed a Senior Leadership Council where we voiced opinions and set standards and accountability for the season. The standards were player-driven, which, in my opinion, creates a tighter bond within the group. I loved it. We became a better program because of the 2026 Saints.

We built a new foundation in the summer heat.
We worked hard in the weight room.
We formed a Senior Leadership Council that met once a month, did a book study on leadership and set standards and accountability for the program.
We volunteered our time and ran a coat drive.
We went and supported other sports.
We ran a 1-day camp with football.
We went on a Spring Trip to Nashville (I made up for my 2025 trip to Louisville, lol).
We battled the ups and downs of a season and learned to “handle hard better”.
We won 20+ games for the first time in 3 years.
We were in the hunt for a conference title down to the final series of the season.
We had 7 players recognized with All-Conference honors.
We had 11 Academic All-Conference players.
We had a program GPA of 3.23

But most of all … we became family. ⚜️👊

Tomorrow, I’ll break out a hat as we head into summer baseball and turn the page towards the 2027 season.

But the last tip of the 2026 cap goes out to the 2026 Saints, especially the 10 seniors. The goal is to leave a program better than when you entered. And to that, you succeeded, greatly. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into being a Saint. 🫡

One a Saint, always a Saint.

On to the 2027 season … nothing to do but get right back to work. ⚜️💪

The 2026 season comes to an end tonight in a 4-2 loss to a tough Barrington team. Not the ending we hoped for and definitely earlier than we had hoped. Proud of the fight and resilience from the first pitch to the final out.

Grateful for the 10 seniors that left their mark on the program. All we asked of them was to leave the program better than when they entered it, and to that, they succeeded. 20+ wins, raised standards, Spring Trip memories and a brotherhood that will never be broken.

Once a Saint, Always a Saint.⚜️

Tip of the cap, 2026 Saints. 🧢

Thank you. 👊

The Saints (21-13) lose a tough 1-0 game in their regular season finale today vs Neuqua Valley. It was a true pitchers’ duel, both starters throwing complete games, with the Wildcats scoring the lone run in the bottom of the 1st.

@Kylelarose24 (6.0 IP, 2H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K) threw 72% of his 78 pitches for strikes and didn’t give up a hit after the 1st inning. However, the Saints’ bats were quiet today, going three-and-out in 5 of the 7 innings.

The Saints finish the regular season 21-13 overall.

[St. Charles East Baseball @stce_baseball]
