Daniel Boone's title run sends team to Midwest tournament
The Daniel Boone Little League 12U All-Stars will represent Missouri in the Little League Baseball Midwest Region Tournament after winning the state championship with a 6-0 victory over Webb City in Columbia.
The Columbia-based team completed a 3-0 run through the state tournament, according to a community announcement. Daniel Boone allowed only one run across three games and outscored opponents 30-1 on its way to the title.
The state championship sends Daniel Boone to Whitestown, Indiana, for the Midwest Region Tournament, scheduled for Aug. 7-14. The regional winner advances to the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
It marks the first time a Daniel Boone baseball team has reached the regional tournament since 2021. The appearance comes after the Daniel Boone Softball All-Stars also advanced to a regional tournament earlier this summer. Daniel Boone's most recent trip to the Little League Baseball World Series came in 2006.
"These kids earned every bit of this — three games, one run allowed and a state championship," said Jeremy Bexten, manager of the DBLL 12U All-Stars. "Now they get to wear Daniel Boone across their chests and represent the entire state of Missouri on a national stage. We are thrilled for them. This is a group that has worked for this since they were little kids on these fields, and our whole community is going to be behind them every inning."
