Top-ranked Celtics score 33 runs in two games; Lincoln-Way North climbs to No. 2 in weekly power rankings thanks to pitching of Jake Harper.

The Celtics scored 33 runs in wins over Plainfield North and the Caravan. Last week: No. 1. 2. Lincoln-Way North (18-3): It’s Harper, but not bizarre. Jake Harper (5-1) is mowing down the opposition. He scattered three hits and struck out seven in the Phoenix’s 15-2 five-inning victory over Andrew. Last week: No. 4. 3. Lincoln-Way East (17-6): You can shop online for a Big Bang Theory Bazinga T-shirt. Or, if you’re a Griffin fan, you can get creative and make a “Huizinga” replica. Why not?

1. Providence Catholic (0-0): Yep, it must be time to play ball. Providence opens with games against Plainfield East and Joliet Central on Monday and Tuesday.

Celtics return 9-of-10 pitchers and top Patch preseason baseball power rankings; Oak Forest's Tim Barry Sr. sets his sights on IHSA home run record.
1. Providence Catholic (25-12 last year): The Catholic League champion Celtics return 9-of-10 pitchers, including Matt Trowbridge, and will accept nothing less than a deep playoff run. Trowbridge was 6-1 with a 3.73 ERA. Senior third baseman Sam “I Am Powerful” Travis will provide much of the offensive punch. He hit .486 with five homers and 32 RBIs. Opener: March 21 at Plainfield East. 2. Andrew (27-11): The Thunderbolts will follow the lead of seniors Dan Truesdale, Chris Golumaki and Nick DeBenedetti as they look to win the Southwest Suburban Red title outright and make some noise in the postseason.
