The Red Sox (44-14) went 5-0 at the tournament and outscored opponents 64-8. It is the team's fourth regional championship; the Red Sox went back-to-back in 2015 and 2016 after also winning it in 1998.
The victory marked the end of the season for the Red Sox — Class A Legion baseball does not play a world series.
