The coach for the Wauconda Bulldogs said, “This was the best baseball hitting team, from top to bottom, that I’ve seen in four tournaments.”

Five out of the six games for the Renegades were won by the slaughter rule, including the championship game, according to the news release from Bernadette McCarthy. The Renegades scored 71 runs in six games.

A total of 18 teams  competed in the weekend tournament.

“Coaches Singer, Rektorski, and Heath couldn’t be more proud of the boys,” said McCarthy.

FYI: The Slaughter Rule (also known as the Mercy Rule) ends a sports competition  early when one team has a very large insurmountable lead.
