By Drake Skleba

The 2012 Illinois High School Baseball Association/Phil Lawler Summer State Tournament Finals will be streamed LIVE at: www.prepbaseballreport.highschoolcube.com  beginning at 10 a.m. on Monday morning. The entire 13-game tournament schedule will be streamed with a complete LIVE video and audio feed from North Central College in Naperville and Benedictine University in Lisle.

Yours truly will be providing play-by-play coverage of six of the 13 contests. On Monday, I will have the call on the first-round games at North Central College at 10 & 12:30. Jacobs and Montini will square off at 10 followed by St. Laurence and Crystal Lake South. The CUBE'S Rusty Lindsey will have the 3 o’clock elimination game between the losers of the first two games.

At Benedictine, the CUBE’S Joe Brand will have the awesome first-round matchup between Lyons Township and Joliet Catholic at 10. Following that game Joe will have the 12:30 contest between Maine South and Wauconda. The CUBE'S Matt Mish will have the loser’s bracket elimination game at 3.
