The hometown heroes of the Goodlettsville All Stars got a big welcome back to town after their run in the Little League World Series.

Hundreds came out to celebrate their return at the welcome home parade, and in Nashville, the Korean Veterans Bridge is lit up in the teams' colors.

Even though they didn't win the whole thing, their Coach Joey Hale said he couldn't be more proud.

"Oh too proud. I mean I think I said you have to have talent but more so you have to have heart and this team is full of heart to be able to come back and win as many games as they did - to be tied late and be behind late and pull off game after game after game just shows how much heart and how much will to win that these guys had," said Hale.

Goodlettsville finished second in the U.S. competition, and were fourth overall in the world.
