The Kewanee A’s youth baseball program has been making waves across the Midwest this spring, with two of its age‑group squads delivering tournament results that have captured the attention of local fans and coaches alike.
13U Team’s Consistent Runner‑Up Finish
The 13U side posted a string of strong showings, finishing second at the Mother’s Day Bat Bash AAA Tournament in Bettendorf, Iowa, and repeating that result at both the PreSeason Showdown in Milan, Illinois, and the 42 Legend Series back in Bettendorf. Each second‑place finish underscored the team’s ability to compete with some of the region’s elite competition.
10U Squad’s Undefeated Championship Run
Meanwhile, the 10U team entered the Hitmen Mother’s Day Buckle Up Tournament in Rock Island, Illinois, as a dark horse and emerged with an unblemished 4‑0 record. After dispatching the Moline Blackhawks in bracket play, the young A’s faced the Clinton Mudcats in the championship game, where they erupted for a 23‑13 victory to claim the title.
These achievements reflect a growing depth within the Kewanee A’s organization and hint at a promising future for the players who continue to develop under the guidance of their coaches. As the summer circuit progresses, the community looks forward to seeing how the teams build on these early successes.
