It’s been a long time since the state of Michigan had a team win the Little League World Series — 1959 — but that all changed on Sunday afternoon when the boys from Taylor, Michigan beat Ohio 5-2 to win it all.
Michigan baseball coach Erik Bakich posted a video showing how excited he was to see Taylor North take home the title.
“Taylor North! Congratulations, world champion. So fired up, so excited for you guys,” Bakich said. “What an accomplishment, the whole state is fired up for you, we’re so proud of you.
