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.

August 4, 2025 – AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

The 2025 Southeast Regional Tournament begins Wednesday at McCrary Park in Asheboro with Randolph County Post 45 serving as the host team for the twelfth time.

Among the returning teams is the defending national champion from Troy, Alabama. Troy advanced through the Southeast Region and defeated Midland, Michigan for the 2024 AL World Series title. It was the second championship for Troy, which also won the 2022 title, and the third consecutive appearance in the ALWS.

Jacksonville, Florida returns from last year's field and Owensboro, Kentucky - which made the trip to Asheboro in 2022 and 2023 – is back after being a part of the Great Lakes Region last year. With Georgia not sending a team this year, South Carolina will have two representatives in the event. First-time State Champion Richland Post 215 will make their regional debut while the runner-up team from Florence will be back after a one year absence.

It's been a longer wait for Asheville, North Carolina to return to regional play. Asheville won the 1929 North Carolina championship which, according to information at the American Legion website, would have sent them to East Regional action in a single-elimination tournament format.

Those teams along with the Puerto Rico Champion and the Post 45 host team will be in action at McCrary Park from Wednesday through Sunday. The Regional Champion will then head to Shelby, NC for the American Legion World Series which starts on Thursday, August 14.
