EVERGREEN PARK, IL — Evergreen Park has softball fever, in addition to other nearby towns and neighborhoods, as the 14U All Stars get ready to play their semi-final game against Puerto Rico in the Little League Junior Softball World Series. The game starts at 6 p.m. CT, Friday, Aug. 1.

It’s down to four teams after an exciting week of playoff games, where the Evergreen Park Girls Softball Little League 14U All Stars are the only team of the four left standing that is undefeated.
