CABA World Series in Crystal Lake...15's

Team Indiana - 1st Place
Dupage Diamondbacks - 2nd Place

I believe approximately 1/2 or so of Team Indiana's roster is made up of Indy Bulls. Congradulations to both.

Team Indiana played very good baseball all week long. I am the head coach for the berwyn bulldogs 15u and we lost to them 9-4 in the semis.

The DuPage Diamondbacks played solid baseball all tournament long. Every player on the team contibuted to their success. It was a great tournament.

Steve Borts "All Star" Team Bergen Beach didn't even make the final (4).. They had a total of (3) losses in the tournament, including a loss in pool play to a "host" team the Crystal Lake Bombers. Looks like "flying in" players doesn't always payoff.

How did the Seminoles do?

Seminoles:
1-4 in pool play
3-2 in the consolation bracket

Isn't Steve's nickname "The Penguin"?

Penguins aren't known for their flying abilities!

Took my son's to see the world series, and was very impressed with the Dupage Diamondbacks team, they could have won the Championship game with a couple of timely hit's,they sure made Illinois proud. How do you go about playing for the Diamondbacks ? Who run's them? Nice player's, my kid's want to play for them when they get older.

The parents and fans that got to watch these teams beat the **** out of each other in pool play, and move on through their respective 24-team Championship and Consolation brackets got their money's worth. Besides my son's team putting a wuppin on Puerto Rico's A team, I will always remember our 4-hr extra inning battle with the Dupage Diamondbacks in the championship bracket even though our kids took the loss. It was the most incredible game.

Bergen Beach lost in pool play to the Crystal Lake Bombers 3-2. In the championship round, Team Indiana handed them their first lost in the double elimination round, and Maryland Select their second loss.

Bergen had a pitcher that threw a legit 88-89 from Texas. However the defense made several errors. When you put a team together for one tournament it is hard to get that chemistry needed.

Team Indiana was made up of 9 Indiana Bulls, several Muncie (IN) players, as well as others. Saw alot of quality teams in the tournament such as Team Indiana, DuPage Diamondbacks, Maryland Select, Orland Park Sparks, Seattle Titans, Washington Cannons, as well as others.

i was there for that Sparks/Diamondbacks game. hell of a game. bumped my game back three hours but still great baseball to watch

i play for the diamondbacks. And the lose was tough but we lost to a very good bulls team. Congratulations to the bulls. U guys are a very good team. And hey 2nd place isnt that bad!!
