The Beardstown Little League 11/12-year-old baseball all-star team are the District 17 Champions, rolling to the title with an unbeaten, 3-0 record, winning all three games by double digits. Last Tuesday’s championship game against Pike County looked like it would come down to the wire until the local boys exploded for eleven runs in the top of the sixth inning to end all doubt and propel them to a 13 to 0 title game victory.
A tough opening game loss last Monday for the Beardstown 9/10-year-old baseball all-star team sent them into the losers’ bracket, giving them an uphill battle in their quest to match the 11/12-year-old all-stars with a District 17 title. Leading 3 to 1 going into the bottom of the fifth inning, the Tigers saw Pike County score three runs to take a 4 to 3 lead, then turn an improbable double play to snuff out a would-be Beardstown rally in the top of the sixth.
