Throwback Triumph
Evanston’s baseball team took the field in special throwback jerseys for their showdown with Glenbrook South, a visual tribute to former players and retiring faculty members who have shaped the program over the years.
The Wildcats exploded out of the gate, building a 10‑1 lead after the first two innings and never looking back, ultimately sealing a 14‑4 victory that showcased both offensive firepower and defensive resilience.
Senior standout Ryan Rappoport went 4‑for‑4 at the plate, while sophomore Tate Schroeder contributed four runs driven in with a single and a double, underscoring the depth of the lineup.
On the mound, Elliot Paul delivered a solid performance, allowing just three hits, striking out seven batters and improving to 6‑3 on the season, a milestone that reflects his growing reliability in the rotation.
The win was also marked by a collective effort at the plate, as five different players recorded RBIs, while Glenbrook South committed six errors that helped fuel Evanston’s rally.
The tribute extended beyond the scoreboard, honoring alumni such as Steve Wool, Marx Succes and Karilyn Joyce, whose contributions to the school’s athletic legacy were recognized during the ceremony.
With the series now underway, the Wildcats aim to sustain this early momentum, hoping the blend of nostalgic uniforms and fresh talent will carry them through the remainder of the schedule.
