 Notes & Quotes
Winning coach, Eric Regez of Herscher: "This is a group of kids who just love to play baseball, and they weren't going to be satisfied with just making it to the tournament. They were thinking championship all the way."

Losing coach, Rob Smith of Teutopolis: "We hit the ball real well, but they made some great defensive plays. They deserve this win."
