The Elk Grove American Legion Red Sox beat Arlington 17-7 in seven innings because of the 10-run rule at Recreation Park in Arlington Heights on Saturday afternoon.
Elk Grove won the Cook County Tournament, which brings the team to the American Legion State Championship at Recreation Park later this week. Palatine is hosting the tournament, so they are also still alive in the American Legion State Tournament for Illinois.
American Legion Baseball: Arlington beat Palatine 8 to 7 in the bottom of the eleventh inning after Palatine had the lead until the bottom of the ninth inning. Arlington tied the score 5 to 5 in the bottom of the ninth. Palatine quickly took back the lead, and was leading 7 to 6 when a wild pitch allowed a base runner (Jason Leblebijian, Prospect High School) to score and tie the game 7 to 7. Then a single by Dan Lauria (Rolling Meadows High School) scored the winning run to give Arlington the win 8 to 7.
Pitcher Brendan King (St. Viator) earned the win for Arlington, pitching the last 3 innings.
