This Friday night, baseball goes after dark.
The 12U Bartlett Rebels are stepping into one of the most unique events of the season — an all-night, all-blacklight tournament that turns the game into a full glow experience. From neon uniforms to glowing baseballs and lines, this isn’t your typical Friday night at the ballpark.
The tournament will be played all night long inside the dome at Parkway Bank Sports Complex, located at27 Jenny Finch Way, Des Plaines, IL — a perfect setting for a high-energy, late-night showdown.
First game. First pitch. 10:30 PM.And from there, it’s baseball until the early morning hours.
Under the blacklights, every play pops brighter, every swing feels louder, and the Rebels thrive in the spotlight. This team feeds off energy, competition, and moments that feel bigger than the scoreboard — and a glow-in-the-dark tournament is exactly the kind of stage they’re built for.
Expect fast plays, big hits, and plenty of Rebel swagger as the boys compete deep into the night, proving that when the lights go out, they shine the brightest.
