While Conant might've come up empty on Monday, Franklin Kirchner wasn't going down without a fight. Kirchner didn't allow a single earned run over 4.2 innings pitched. The effort also marked the fewest walks (one) he has had since back in April.
Even though Kirchner couldn't lead Conant over Barrington, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The Cougars will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 186 places lower in Illinois), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Kirchner? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
