Vying for a state baseball championship can be fun….but also physically demanding. Peru Parkside Middle School Raiders fought hard this weekend, but fell short in the Class 2A Title Championship Saturday. Washington Middle School topped Peru 4 -3 at East Peoria’s Eastside Centre. Earlier in the day, Parkside beat Stronghurst West Central 4 -1
The action started in Friday’s quarterfinals at Parkside doubled up Teutopolis 6 -3. In that game, Brendon Suarez and Bradyn Weber each had 2 hits for Parkside. Nick Hermosillo pitched 5 innings to get the win.
Parkside ends their season at 15-3.
