The Brooklawn American Legion senior squad lost in its bid to reach the World Series as Chesapeake, Va., captured the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship with a 6-2 victory on Monday. Chesapeake defeated Brooklawn on Friday, setting the stage for the local team to not only have to win the first game Monday, but also the second game for a winner-take-all contest. However, Chesapeake scored three runs in the first inning and took advantage of timely hits to move onto the World Series in Spokane, Wa.
Brooklawn eliminated in regions

Monday, Brooklawn was deprived of a chance of playing in the Legion World Series![](\"http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif\"/)
with a 6-2 loss to Chesapeake, Va. in a game played at Ted Palka Park in West Lawn, Pa. There was no real mystery as to why Brooklawn — which needed to defeat Chesapeake twice in the double-elimination tournament in order to advance — fell short. The squad managed only two hits off winning pitcher Jordan Adair and two relievers, and could not get a big hit when it counted. Brooklawn, which has won two World Series titles in the past, had threats throughout the game. The squad had two runners on with one out in the third, two on with two out in the fourth, and the bases loaded with two outs in the eighth.
