Lincoln-Way West stunned Marist 2-1 in a thrilling Class 4A state semifinal, with senior pitcher Abby Brueggmann delivering a gutsy, game-saving performance despite doubting her own abilities in big moments. Striking out four and leaving eight runners stranded, Brueggmann anchored a team that played loose and aggressive, capitalizing on key plays from Reese Forsythe’s triple and Reese Rourke’s daring steal of home. The win, coming after Marist had beaten them earlier in the season, was a statement of resilience and growth. Brueggmann credited her stellar defense—especially third baseman Molly Finn—and the team’s unshakable bond for their success. Now, with a state championship berth on the line against Mundelein, the Warriors are riding a wave of confidence, proving they thrive under pressure.
