Providence Catholic easily handled Brother Rice in baseball regional semis.
It was a dominating win for Providence Catholic as the Celtics defeated Brother Rice in the Class 4A baseball regional semifinals Friday night. Playing at Sandburg High School in Orland Park, the Celtics had a strong showing both in the batter's box and on the pitching mound.
