08/12 - 2018 American Legion Baseball Great Lakes Regional unofficial update - August 12, 2018

Below are some (unofficial) notes on the Great Lakes Regional and the other regionals. Most - if not all - regional games should have "on-line" coverage, while the World Series will be carried by ESPNU / ESPN3 live. Other regional W-L standings are AFTER media links for the Great Lakes teams.

Radio / Internet coverage (all games) - WZOQ (Ottawa, OH) - https://www.zsportslive.com/

(It also looked like Terre Haute and Napoleon had radio or internet broadcasts of their own games)
