Jordan Tassio: Sensitive or sensible?

As the saying goes, you can't beat fun at the old ballpark.

Despite losing to Naperville Central on Friday, Naperville North coach Carl Hunckler was still able to muster some fun.

Here's what Hunckler had to say about Jordan Tassio re-entering the game to hit -- six innings after he left the game with an injured hamstring.

"He's a sensitive kid," Hunckler said, then quickly correcting himself and eliciting some laughter from the media. "Sensible. Not sensitive. He might be sensitive, but he's a sensible kid."

Hunckler added that he never would have asked Tassio if he was able to hit had he thought the injury was severe.

"It's pretty typical. This happened last year at about this time, too," Hunckler said. "It's tightened up. He didn't tear anything or anything like that; otherwise, I would have never put him back in."

With the conference season over, Tassio has until Thursday's playoff game with Central to rest if needed.
