Where was this game played at?

Part of a big tournament in Memphis ... I think the game was played at the former USA Baseball facility in Millington.

I'm not from Louisville, but I love when St.X plays these types of games in any sport...I took a tour through their school a couple years ago and was extremly impressed!!!

Arlington was ranked number 8 in Tennessee’s Commercial Appeal’s “Dandy Dozen,” which ranks the top 12 teams in Tennessee. Arlington made it to the tournament final while losing to Yucaipa (California). The word was that Yucaipa had 3 Division I signees, one of whom was supposedly a first round prospect in the MLB draft. Louisville Trinity lost in the second round to Yucaipa. St. X was ahead going into the last inning and had Arlington on the ropes. Five or six base running errors were costly for the Tigers. The Tigers are young and learning a lot and playing quality out-of-state teams can help in this process.

Actually, the "Dandy Dozen" ranks only the teams in the Memphis area. Still, a #8 ranking there is pretty impressive.

Thanks for the clarification. I had previously gone to the Tennessee high school website I thought I saw a similar ranking system--a number like 12, versus top 20 or 25.

Above is an article from the local paper about Arlington's loss to Yucaipa in the championship. Arlington played without their seniors who attended prom. They started a freshman pitcher who took the loss. X ran into this same situation with Dyersburg in their last game. I'm sure the California team was a little disappointed to fly to Memphis, make the championship and learn they were facing essentially Arlington's second team.
