West Side lost its tournament opener to the Kentucky team on Sunday to drop to the loser’s bracket, and the Kentucky state champs joined them there with a loss in the winner’s bracket semifinals.

West Side advances to the loser’s bracket final 5 p.m. Friday in Whitestown, Ind., facing the loser of the Thursday’s winner’s bracket final between Michigan and Illinois. Friday’s game will be broadcast on ESPN.

The West Side all-stars are seeking their first trip to Williamsport since 2010. The two finalists – the winner’s bracket and loser’s bracket champions – will meet in the regional championship game at 4 p.m. Saturday (ESPN). Both teams will qualify for the World Series, which runs Aug. 19-29.
