Sumter American Legion Post 15 will host the American Legion Baseball Southeast Regional for the first time since 1997 when the 2009 edition comes to Riley Park.

Post 15 received official notification of the decision Thursday from the National Executive Committee at its annual spring meeting in Indianapolis.

"We're as thrilled as we can be with it," Post 15 Athletic Officer Jimmy Hodge said of the regional, which is scheduled for Aug. 6-10, 2009. "A lot of work went in to this, as we had to put in a 55-page bid."

The five-day event will showcase state championship teams from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Tennessee.

"Sumter Post 15 and Riley Park will be an outstanding site for the tournament," said Joseph E. Caouette Jr., the American Legion National Americanism Commission chairman, in a news release. "South Carolina has a very active American Legion Baseball program. Sumter also has outstanding community support and an excellent organizing committee.

"Riley Park is one of the top ball parks in the country. The players and coaches will be excited with the opportunity to play at this stadium."

The winning team will move on to Fargo, N.D., to participate in the annual American Legion World Series.
