August 10, 2025 – AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

For the second straight year the North Carolina champion took on the Alabama champion for the championship of the Southeast Regional Tournament. For the second straight year that game needed more than seven innings.

Asheville, NC defeated Troy, AL 7-6 in 8 innings for the 2025 title after Troy defeated Wayne County, NC last summer 5-4 in 9 innings.

Asheville led from the beginning after Jordyn Brown (double), Kolt Nelson and Evan Connor (2-rbi single) started the home half of the 1st with hits. Connor later scored on a wild pitch for a 3-1 score after one inning.

A solo home run by Troy's Cayden Boutwell cut into the NC lead in the second and the Alabama champion took the lead with four runs in the 3rd inning. Haze McCorkle drove in Evan Taylor and Brady Richardson with a 1-out single to tie the game. McCorkle later scored on a sacrifice fly by Jake Franklin and Porter Dykes drove in Ethan Walls for a 5-3 Alabama lead.

Franklin drove in McCorkle again in the 5th to give Alabama Post 70 a 6-3 lead over North Carolina Post 70.

In the bottom of the fifth, Carson Wallace drove in Conner to make the score 6-4.

In the bottom of the sixth, Brown scored on a sac fly by Connor to make the score 6-5.

In the bottom of the seventh, Reagan Smith drove in Wallace to tie the score 6-6.

In the bottom of the eighth, with two outs, Micah Simpson drove in Brown for the 7-6 win and Asheville's first Regional Championship.

Asheville's Kolt Nelson was named the MVP of the Southeast Regional. Nelson hit .500 (8-16) in the event with two doubles, He drove in 6 runs and scored 6 runs.

Haze McCorkle led Troy batters with two hits, two rbi and two runs scored. Cayden Boutwell hit a solo home run for the 9-time Alabama champions.

Jordyn Brown pitched the eighth inning for Asheville to earn the win. At the plate, Brown went 3-for-5 and scored three runs. Evan Connor had two hits with three rbi and scored twice.

The loss ended Troy's string of three straight regional titles and the trips to the American Legion World Series those titles bring. Troy Post 70 was the defending National Champion but will not get the chance to repeat. Troy also won the national title in 2022.

Asheville's first North Carolina Championship was in 1929.

Of note, on Friday night, Asheville and Troy met in the regional tournament. Asheville remained undefeated when Micah Simpson drove in Jordyn Brown in the bottom of the seventh for the walk-off win.

The 2025 American Legion World Series begins Thursday morning at Keeter Stadium in Shelby, NC. Asheville is scheduled for the final game of the day against Bossier City, Louisiana at 7:30.
