Congratulations to the Gage Park Grizzlies, winners of the Chicago Suburban Youth Baseball Association's Fall Ball Falcon Division.
The team was comprised of players from the Gage Park Baseball & Softball Association.
The Grizzlies carried an 8-1 regular season record heading into the playoffs, earning them a first round bye as the #3 seed out of the 56 teams in the league.
The Grizzlies had convincing victories over the Gage Park Sluggers, Lincolnwood Blue Stars and Addison Braves to make it to the semi-finals. They were then matched up with the Berk-Hill Bombers, where they took home the victory by the score of 9-3.
In the championship game, they were paired with the top-seeded Winthrop Harbor Panthers. In what was a tight game throughout, the Grizzlies were able to pull the game out of reach with a few runs in the top of the 6th, taking home the crown by the score of 9-5.
Players on the championship Grizzlies are Benjamin Petroski, Sammy Tamayo, Liam Ocampo, Martin Arzate Jr., Jio Landa, Brendon Acevedo, Joseph Acevedo, Esteban Bonilla, Nico Castro, Javier Camargo-Sanchez, Mary Andino, Santo Andino, Tristen Padilla, Adrian Alvarado, TJ Moore and Carlos Morales.
