Daily Herald Article Warriors Season ends in 5-1 Loss to Broncos The Warrior baseball season came to a close with a 5-1 loss to Montini in the Glenbard South Regional. The Warrior bats could just not string enough hits together to get a rally started. The disappointing loss ended a historic season that saw the team take first place in conference for the first time and keep the streak of 20 wins going for the fourth consecutive year.
