SOUTH ELGIN RED IS 2022 HAMM’S CHAMPION
Axel Villanueva pitched five strong innings and led South Elgin
Red to a 10-5 victory over the Elgin National Cardinals in the
Championship Game. Timely hitting and solid defense was the
reason for South Elgin Red’s win. They took a 6-1 lead by
scoring 4 runs in the 2nd inning and coasted to the win. South
Elgin Red had a 16-0 regular season record, and went 3-0 in
the Hamm’s Tournament for a 19-0 undefeated record. Alex
Gasca took the pitching loss for Elgin National Cardinals. Kevin
Lopez slammed a 3-run home run in the 4th inning to pull Elgin
National close at 7-5 deficit, but that’s as close as they came in
a hard fought battle. Congratulations to South Elgin Red,
Hamm’s 2022 Champions.
