THE Bahamas Baseball Association continued its National Championships over the weekend as Eleuthera hosted the 12U Division.

JBLN won the gold medal with an 11-1 win over Grand Bahama Little League yesterday in Rock Sound, Eleuthera.

In game three, JBLN posted their second shutout with a 5-0 win over EJBL and followed with a 6-3 win over GBLL to earn a spot in the playoff round as the top seed.

They defeated the No.4 seed EJBL 11-1 and advanced to play for the gold medal.
