With today’s 3-0 win over Naperville North, Coach Pete Lotus earned his 500th career win! Special shout-out to assistant coach Adam Lotus, who has been there with Coach Pete every step of the way.

First bullpen since Tommy John. 11.5 months out and only going up from here. Looking for summer ball opportunities.

The Fighting Saints have earned a share of their first CCAC title since 2015 with their sweep of ONU. More importantly, they punched their ticket to the NAIA Tournament Opening Round for the first time since 2015, as well. Way to get it done! Wins in 16 of the final 19 games!

Not your traditional dog pile... After a sweep of ONU and a little help from our friends at TCC, the Fighting Saints have punched their ticket to the NAIA Opening Round, and secured the #1 seed in the CCAC tournament. Well done, Saints!

COMMITTED!🐍
