Naperville Central’s baseball team is headed to the sectional championship after a thrilling 2-0 win over Hinsdale Central, powered by junior Jermaine Kenady’s clutch defense and aggressive baserunning, and pitcher Grant Umbright’s dominant six-hit shutout. Kenady made two game-changing plays, including a spectacular throw to retire a baserunner and a daring headfirst slide to score the insurance run, while Umbright’s newfound change-up kept Hinsdale Central silent. This marks Naperville’s first sectional final since 2012, and they’re now set to face Downers Grove North on Saturday — riding a wave of confidence and resilience as they aim for their first title in years.
