Andrean overpowered River Forest 25–0 in a five‑inning Class 3A sectional opener between the Fighting 59ers and the Ingots.
The showdown took place on Wednesday, May 27, at Lowell, where Andrean quickly seized control of the night with confident swings, sharp execution, and an energy that made the postseason stage feel entirely theirs from the opening pitch to the final out.
Andrean opened the tournament with complete control, striking for three runs in the first inning before adding four more in the third to build early separation. The 59ers then delivered the decisive blow in the fourth, erupting for 14 runs as every part of the lineup contributed to the surge. By the time Andrean tacked on four additional runs in the fifth, the outcome was long secured, and the offense had firmly established its rhythm.
The 59ers finished with 20 hits and played error‑free baseball, showcasing sharp execution on both sides of the ball. River Forest, meanwhile, was held without a hit and could not generate momentum against Andrean’s steady pitching and airtight defense, which controlled the pace throughout the night.
