An expanded Little League Baseball World Series bracket means more opportunities to land the coveted spots in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and regional teams had their eye on the prize across the United States on Sunday.
This year’s LLBWS will feature 20 teams, including 10 American teams and 10 teams from around the world.
The primary action starts Aug. 17 and runs through Aug. 28, but regionals inside the United States took center stage Sunday.
A representative from the Great Lakes, Metro, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Mountain, New England, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest and West Regions will be present in Williamsport, and teams competing for those spots from all 10 regions took the field as part of a stacked Sunday slate.
