MIDWEST CITY "OUTLAWS"

WIN WORLD SERIES

Midwest City, Okla., “Outlaws” Post 170 defeated Eden Prairie, Minn., 11-6 and 10-1 in a doubleheader Tuesday evening to capture The American Legion World Series championship in Spokane, Wash., at Avista Stadium.
During Game 14, Midwest City’s Josh Halbert jumpstarted the Outlaw offense by stealing home to cap a three-run second inning that broke a 1-1 tie in the opener. He then delivered in the seventh inning with a three-run homer to seal an 11-6 win over Eden Prairie, giving the undefeated team its first loss of the tournament and forcing Game 15.
Batting first in Game 15, Midwest City rallied in the opening inning with a two-run home run from Greg Nelson. The Outlaw players followed suit, as they kept swiping bags to keep adding to their lead. Heading into the sixth inning, Midwest City led 5-0 and advanced three more runs as Nelson stole home, while two RBIs were notched by Larry Head and Josh Halbert.
The seventh inning brought three straight outs for Midwest City, but Eden Prairie got on the scoreboard with an RBI from David Belusky. However, that was the one and only point for Eden Prairie, as Midwest City kept rolling.
The Outlaws tackled the eighth inning with two RBIs. Then, in the ninth, they got a lights out performance from closer Dalton Bernardi, who threw three straight strikeouts to put the finishing touches on a 10-1 victory and more importantly, the 2010 American Legion World Series title, which was captured in front of more than 600 fans.
“Winning the Legion World Series has been on my ‘bucket list,’” said Midwest City manager Doug Weese. “We lost our top player, J.T. Realmuto, the last day of regionals when he signed a contract with the Florida Marlins. But those kids said, ‘We are still going to win (the World Series) anyway, coach.’ And they did, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”
Midwest City showed no fear in both games, stealing 13 bases, including home four times, which helped the team set a record. Midwest City’s sweep marked the first time since 1985 in a Legion World Series final that a team out of the loser’s bracket won two games on the championship day.
The record-setting performance came as no surprise to the Outlaws, who constantly displayed their desire to bring home the World Series trophy. Inscribed in the sand in front of their dugout was the Outlaws’ symbol. The players and coaches eyed it throughout the two games because they never rested on the bench; they were always standing on the dugout steps, cheering. Overall, they prided themselves on being a group of well-mannered young men who were ready to play from the moment they stepped off the plane, dressed in polos and khakis with a token in hand — their gloves.
“We wore the attire as a matter of pride for baseball, respect for the game, and Outlaws are known for being on queue with everything we do,” Dakota Andrews said. “We just wanted to come out and show everybody what we are made of.”
