A group of 11- and 12-year-old girls from South Milwaukee did the city proud in their attempt to qualify for the Little League World Series this week.
The softball team came up just two games short of that milestone after playing their way into the semifinals of the LLWS Central Region tournament in Missouri this week. The team lost 12-7 to Indiana on Thursday.
Learn more about their run in this story on South Milwaukee NOW.
From the NOW story:
The girls, ages 11 and 12, secured their spot in the prestigious tournament after winning both the Wisconsin State Tournament and the Wisconsin District Six Tournament. It has been seven years since a Major team has advanced to the Regional Tournament, and this is the first time a South Milwaukee team has reached the semifinals in the league’s history.
Follow the progress of the team on this page on the Little League Baseball website. The team is also on Facebook.
Congratulations, girls!
