Great Job Dean, Dan and Steve! Please keep those pictures coming. I would
like to send the best one to the Doings and Suburban Life TODAY.


Check out want Mike Murphy formerly of The Score and who played on the the
1963 had to say.


Terry, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, my wife had some vacation
time and I was away for a few days. SURE! If it's not too late, please
feel free to "feed" the Doings anything about me and the 1963 LGPK LL team.
We were the "little engine that could", until we had a little bad luck in
our final game. ( We had a man on second and he got PICKED off by the
pitcher. WHAT? Yes, you CAN NOT leave the base until the ball is pitched in
LL, right? He "wandered" off second base, maybe looking up at an airplane,
or clouds, and got picked. I can still see it like it was yesterday. That
play was our back breaker. ) Please keep in touch anytime!


Your pal, Mike Murphy

David,


A lot of your subscibers from La Grange Park would love to see this story
covered in The Suburban Life. I will sent you a team picture shortly.


Terry


For the first time since 1963, La Grange Park has won a District 9 Little
League 12 year old title. The La Grange Park Hit Men steamrolled through the
District 9 tournament with a 5 - 0 record outscoring their five opponents
by a combined score of 93 - 21.


LaGrange Park won their final two games of the tournament this weekend in La
Grange by beating South Cicero 14 - 5 and Western Springs 16 - 5.


LGP vs South Cicero


Jon Ezell hit a grand slam and pitched a gem for LaGrange Park as Big Blue
rolled to a 14 - 5 win. Carter Buyer also homered for LGP and Matt
Prendergast, Tyler Haage and Ricky Walsh had multi-hit games for La Grange
Park. Matt Tully, Kevin Rius, Brian Doyle and Brendan Buhle made sparkling
plays in the field for LGP.


LGP vs Western Springs


LGP won the District Championship behind tremendous pitching performances by
Michael ("The Ice Man") Metz and Ricky Walsh. LGP's offensive onslaught was
led by Matt Prendergast with a home run and two doubles and Tyler Haage and
Ricky Walsh with multi-hit games.


La Grange Park moves on the Sectional play Friday night in Hinsdale against
Clear Ridge in a rematch of last year's Sectional final game.

Gentlemen,

La Grange Park has not won a District 12 year old title since 1963. That is
similar to 1908 (and the Cubs) in Little League years. Click on attached
link and the number 9 for verification.

The LGP 12s rolled through pool play in Berwyn and enter the final round
this weekend in La Grange (48th St and East Ave.) as the #1 seed. They play
in a semi-final game (vs winner of LG and South Cicero) on Saturday at noon.
If they win that game, they will attempt to make history by winning LGP's
first 12 year old District title since 1963 this Sunday at noon.

LG and Western Springs have dominated Little League in our area for years so
this is a very big story in our area. Thought you guys may be interested as
the high school sports scene is pretty slow right now.


Following is from LGP's pool play games in Berwyn this week.

LGP vs South Cicero

Behind the hitting of Tyler Haage, Matt Tully and Ricky Walsh and the
pitching of Jonathan Ezell and Michael Metz, LGP built a 10 - 2 lead over a
powerful team from South Cicero. LGP made things interesting with a shaky
sixth inning but held on the beat South Cicero 10 - 8.

LGP vs Berwyn

LGP beat Berwyn 11 - 1 behind the solid pitching of Ricky Walsh and Matt
Prendergast. Carter Buyer cracked two home runs and Kevin Rius and Connor
Hankins had key RBIs for LGP.

LGP vs Lyons-McCook

The bats came alive for LGP Thursday night in Berwyn as LGP beat
Lyons-McCook 42 - 2. Tyler Haage homered three times and Carter Buyer,
Jonathan Ezell and Matt Prendergast also homered for LGP. Jimmy Hollowed,
Brian Doyle and Brendan Buhle also contributed to the LGP hit parade.

LGP is the #1 seed heading into the final round of District play this
weekend in La Grange. Team members include.
