The Jackie Robinson West All-Stars are headed
to the Little League World Series, marking the first time a team from Illinois
has gotten this far in more than a generation.
The Jackie Robinson West Little League team
defeated all their opponents at the regional tournament in Indianapolis and Saturday's
victory meant they advanced to
the Little League World Series.
The 11- and 12-year-old boys representing
several South Side neighborhoods will be the first all-African American team
representing Chicago
in the Little League World Series since 1983.
