Thrilling triumph for the ages! Congratulations to our 8U Travel Baseball team, who defeated Lincolnshire Red on Saturday, July 22 to win the Lake Shore Feeder 8U North Championship game.

The team went 12-2 in Lake Shore Feeder League, ultimately placing second. After playing five games in six days, 8U lost back-to-back games to Lincolnshire Red (Lake Shore Feeder 8U North Regular Season Champion) and Buffalo Grove, two teams they beat in championship tournament games during the season. This cost 8U the regular season championship. However, indomitable spirit and unwavering teamwork propelled the team to eventual victory. After three days’ rest, they came back to beat Buffalo Grove in back-to-back games, advancing them to the second round of the playoffs to beat New Trier Bulldogs. They went on to defeat Lincolnshire Red 10-1 in the championship 8U North game.
