Cape 12U baseball wins regional championship

Posted Wednesday, August 5, 2009, at 3:39 PM

There is a great story in The Grand Island Independent newspaper today about Cape Girardeau's victory in the Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth Midwest Plains regional championship in Nebraska.

You can read the story and see results from throughout the tournament here.

The team dominated the tournament, going 4-0 in the tournament according to The Independent and outscoring opponents 32-8.

Cape will now have a chance to play in the Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth World Series that begins Aug. 14 in Aberdeen, Md.

Anybody out there have pictures of the team's victory? You can submit them here, and I'll put them up on the home page. I'd love to see them and I'm sure a lot of other people would to.

Good luck at the World Series, boys!
