CHICAGO (WLS) --
Jackie Robinson West has been stripped of their title in the 2014 Little League World Series. By default, Las Vegas will now be handed the title.
The Jackie Robinson West baseball team that brought the city together this summer is accused of stacking the team with players from the suburbs.
Little League International officials said it was a "heartbreaking" decision to strip Jackie Robinson West of its national title, but after an extensive review, Little League International president and CEO Stephen Keener says there was no choice.
"As painful as it is, it is a necessary outcome for what we have been able to confirm, the real troubling is that we feel horribly for the kids who are involved in this," Keener said. "To the best of our knowledge they had no knowledge they were doing anything wrong."
Little League officials said it is about the adults who manipulated the boundaries, making players eligible to play on the team. As a result, not only is the title taken away but the team's manager Darold Butler is suspended, Illinois District 4 Administrator Michael Kelly is out, and so is the team president and treasurer Anne and Bill Haley.
Little League officials say JRW knowingly expanded its boundaries to include territory that belonged to other leagues in the district without approval from those leagues to get into the 2014 tournament.
"What is troubling here is the leadership of the district signed off, knowing that this was wrong," Keener said.

Kristi Black, the president of Nevada's Mountain Ridge Little League, said she is concerned the U.S. title already “has an asterisk on it like the one on Barry Bonds home run record,” and the Las Vegas team “rightfully deserves to be recognized as the legitimate team that went the farthest” in the World Series tournament.
