The next two games were among the most exciting in club history. The girls advanced to the semi-finals with a walk-off win over Evanston Express only to fall to the tourney host Slammers by 1 run in extra innings (International Tie-breaker).

Meet you at the diamond, Coaches Bill, Rich & Scott Today is a sad day for the Chicagoland Sports Community as we mourn the passing of Mr. Bud Hildebrand, owner of Hildebrand Sporting Goods in Broadview, IL for over 50 years. Mr. Hildebrand was 90 years young and is survived by many loving family members and friends. Hildebrand's was always a destination & safe haven for many kids growing up in the area over all the years. Mr. Hildebrand loved all sports but his passion was baseball, especially the Chicago White Sox! The Travelers are pleased to announce Mr. Hildebrand as the first person selected for our Hall of Fame - his ideals were Faith, Family & Passion for Life!
