Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, and colleges including Louisiana State University and Tulane University tweeted their congrats to the little league team.
“Playing the game the right way. Having a blast doing it. Repping Louisiana. Claiming the @LittleLeague. We are so proud of @EastBankLL and all of their accomplishments this summer!” Tulane University tweeted.
The team is comprised of 12-year-old boys, according to CNN affiliate WDSU-TV. It’s the second year in a row that an American team has won the series.
