Published June 8, 2012

The Brewers of West Pasco Little League won the District 12 Top Team Championship this week with a 5-0 win over Palm Harbor. Head coach Chris Chiger couldn't be more proud of his team's efforts.

"We came out strong in the first inning," Chiger said. "We scored four runs in the first inning (and) just kept pressing throughout the game. The kids played a great game all the way around and capped a great season off with another good performance. They played their butts off all season."
