2012 Senior League Baseball World Series set for Aug. 12-18


Bangor, Maine’s Shawn T. Mansfield Stadium will continue its reign as the home of Little League Baseball’s Senior League Baseball World Series in 2012, Little League announced today. The series, for Little Leaguers ages 14 through 16, will be held Aug. 12 through Aug. 18.


Bangor has been home of the Senior League Baseball World Series since 2002.

2011 World Series had some twists and surprises



Hilo became the third team to go undefeated in a Bangor World Series and hit .434, only .010 points off the record of .444 set in 2006 by Paraguana L.L., Falcon, Venezuela.




















For only the second time in 10 Bangor World Series, two undefeated teams faced off for the world championship, as U.S. Southwest champ Rose Capital East L.L., Tyler, Texas, and U.S. West champ Hilo L.L., Hilo, Hawaii, were a perfect 4-0 in their respective pools.


Hilo came out on top, 11-1, in another first – a championship game ended early because of the 10-run rule.


With his team leading 8-1 with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth inning, Koa Matson hit a bases-clearing double into the right-center field gap to put a sudden end to what many had thought would be one of the most competitive championship match-ups Bangor had seen.


For a while, at least, the boys from Hilo didn’t know what to do until Rose Capital East manager Rahman Kafray slowly walked onto the field from the third-base dugout to console his team and the umpires finally called “time,” even though it was already time to celebrate.


Hilo was that good, ending the series with a .434 team batting average after its 16-hit attack that followed up a 10-0, 10-run rule win in the semifinals against Europe-Middle East-Africa’s Friuli Venezia Giulia L.L., Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy, the day before.
