Congratulations to our 11U RiverCats for taking 2nd place in the Troy Titans Mother’s Day Tournament! Way to go RiverCats!
What an incredible weekend for the 11U Minooka RiverCats!
We are so proud of our athletes for taking second place in the Troy Titans Mother’s Day Tournament.

• Offensive Powerhouses: J. Pelka led the charge with 7 total hits, including a double and 5 RBIs. T. Crawford was right there with him, racking up 6 hits (2 doubles) and 5 RBIs.
• On-Base Machines: N. Ramirez was a constant threat, drawing 7 walks and collecting 3 hits to score 6 times throughout the weekend.
• Speed Kills: We were a nightmare on the basepaths with 24 total stolen bases! Leading the charge were T. Thomas with 7 swipes and N. Ramirez with 6.
