After a weekend of monsoon rains, Mother Nature smiled on us last night with a perfect evening for baseball. The game didn't disappoint. After winning game 1 of the city championship series the past Wednesday, Ruane Construction (orange team below) beat Edward Jones (blue team) in game 2 by the score of 5-4 to win the City Championship!
As in game 1, both teams played well with excellent pitching, solid defense, and timely hitting. Ruane had a 5-3 lead going into the bottom of the 7th when EJ scored a run to tighten it up. There were runners in scoring position but Jalen Chan closed out the game with a strikeout.
On behalf of the Naperville Baseball Association, we thank all of our players, families, and coaches for making us the best of hometown baseball!
