Clarendon Hills sets Saturday watch party for Little League World Series game 2
Clarendon Hills will be hosting an outdoor watch party at 5 p.m. Saturday to show a live broadcast of the Little League World Series game in which the local team is playing at 6 p.m.
Clarendon Hills will be playing in an elimination-round game against the loser of Thursday night's contest between teams from the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic Regions.
The village hosted a first watch party, with an estimated 200 people attending, Wednesday for the Clarendon Hills team's first-round game, a 16-1 loss to the Mountain Region team from Las Vegas, Nevada. Clarendon Hills is representing the Great Lakes Region, after winning that title over Ohio and earlier claiming State and District championships.
As was the case Wednesday, Saturday's watch party will feature the game being shown on a Jumbotron and will be held at Prospect and Park Avenues. Village staff and officials suggest that those attending bring chairs and wear clothing with the team color, which is a sky blue.
Assistant Village Manager Mera Johnson said if Clarendon Hills wins Saturday a third watch party will be held for a noon Sunday game.
