Share

The Monmouth Little Lions Baseball League championship night was last night at Harmon Park in Monmouth. The championship was decided in both the 9-10 year old minor league division and the 11-12 year old major league division. In the minor league game, it was all top-seeded Midwest Bank from start to finish. Midwest defeats Kehoe Eye Care 10-0 in a mercy-rule shortened game. Afterwards, Head Coach of Midwest Bank Jeff Bismark talked about the dominant victory and the title-winning season.

The Major League championship game between top-seed Stanton Insurance and Leary’s Construction was the complete opposite of the early game. In a back and forth affair that included a late-inning comeback, it was Leary’s getting an 11-9 win over Stanton. Leary’s gave Stanton their only loss late in the regular season and carried that momentum into the postseason tournament. Leary’s Construction head coach Jay Raymond says he’s proud of the no-quit attitude in his kids.
