Seventeen 12U Chicagoland Metro League teams participated in the Memorial Weekend Tournament. Four of those teams faced off at the Midlothian site--from which Jackie Robinson West (JRW) emerged as winner from our pool with three consecutive wins.
JRW advanced to play in the semi-finals in Palos on Monday. JRW defeated Troy by a score of 7-3 to move onto the championship game. River Forest won the tournament championship by defeating JRW by a score of 9-6 in the championship game. JRW had the bases loaded with just one out in the final inning, but failed to score.
The Warriors know what it feels like to leave runners on base. The Warriors left 13 runners stranded in its opening game loss to JRW in the tournament.
