NEW CASTLE, Ind. — A group of kids from New Castle winning state and regional baseball championships, earning their chance to play in a World Series. Sound familiar? It should.
You might remember the 2012 New Castle team that defied all odds and captured hearts on their way to Williamsport and the Little League World Series. Six years later, this town has another team to rally behind as the summer winds down.
The New Castle 15-year-old team won a Babe Ruth state championship last week, becoming the first New Castle team to ever three-peat. But this year, they went to West Virginia and captured the Ohio Valley regional title, something that had eluded them the last two seasons.
