2012 World Series Champions - New Orleans
The 86th American Legion World Series wrapped up at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday in Shelby, N.C., at Keeter Stadium. New Orleans Post 125 was crowned the 2012 World Series champions — a title the post hasn’t seen since 1960.
Brooklawn defeated Bellevue, Wash., 4-3 during Game 14 on Tuesday and turned around to play the championship game against New Orleans. The doubleheader was delayed due to rain but once the first pitch was thrown at 11 p.m., New Orleans rolled, keeping Brooklawn scoreless to claim a 4-0 victory.
