Milwaukee team "Baby Faces" wins Midwest Bike Polo Open

The Milwaukee team dubbed "Baby Faces" took a tense 2-1 victory over the Guardians, from Seattle, Wa., to take the championship in the Midwest Bike Polo Open over the weekend.

The two-day tournament featured 42 teams and hundreds of matches on the hard courts set up in Washington Park.

Tournament organizer Jake Newborn added game-day reporter to his duties with the Milwaukee Bike Polo Club and posted an excellent recap with terrific photos of the action.

He closed: "The Midwest Open marked the end of a busy season that started in May and included travel to competitions across the country. While the winter off-season will give provide an opportunity for both bodies and bank accounts to recover, come early spring the 2012 Bike Polo competition will rev up once again. Until then the Polo-curious can come give this great sport a try on Sundays in at Washington Park on the same two amazing polo courts (right next to the Basketball courts) used for the Midwest Open.
