Update for those who do not know and are interested:
Team Japan defeated Illinois Sparks in the Gold championship game yesterday 7 - 3. Great game in which Japan was up 3 - 0 and the Sparks came back to tie it at 3. Japan then got 2 in the top of the 6th and the top of the 7th to win their second title in 3 years. Victory Black from Illinois took 3rd losing to Sparks 2 - 1 earlier in the day. Concealed Security of Michigan was 4th I believe.
Congrats to both Illinois Sparks and Victory Black on great tournament runs. You both represented the State of Illinois exceptionally well. I believe that the Sparks placed two players on the all-tournament team and that their catcher won the award for top backstop. I think that Victory Black placed one player on the all-tournament team but I am not certain.
Hudson Valley Renegades of New York won the Silver championship over Smithville Warriors of Missouri. The Kansas Renegades placed 3rd.
Only 353 days until the 20th Annual MCYSA "SIC" - Summer International Championships. We have confirmations from Japan, Brazil, Sri Lanka (yes they did come this year but too late to participate in the tournament - only exhibition games), Puerto Rico and St. Thomas. We are currently working on other internationals.
"Baseball Fever - Get SIC with MCYSA in 2012".
Take care everyone, Jack
