Despite undergoing intense scrutiny in the wake of stripping Jackie Robinson West of its national championship, Little League International has decided to go silent.
Over the past 24 hours, the Sun-Times has made numerous attempts to contact Little League by phone. They have only responded via email.
The Sun-Times received the following email from Little League spokesmen Brian McClintock and Wayne Henninger:
“Little League International stands by the difficult decision that was announced on February 11. As Jackie Robinson West Little League has retained counsel, we will not be granting any additional media interviews or issuing additional public statements for the time being. Little League International will be working with its counsel to ensure Jackie Robinson West Little League officials and their attorney are fully educated regarding the factual basis of the decision.”
