The PGF Labor Day Showcase wrapped up in Crown Point, Ind. today and there was a bit of a surprise as the two Beverly Bandits teams who reached the 16U title game decided to forgo playing and, instead, see each team crowned as Co-Champions.

The 14U game was a nail-biter that went extra innings and featured one of the closest teams to the venue--the Illinois Chill--and probably the furthest--the Jersey Intensity!  

Here are all the results from play on the final day...

FINALS GAMES:

*** 14U: #4 Illinois Chill 6, #2 Jersey Intensity 5 (8 innings)
