Little League World Series

Williamsport, USA, Aug 13 (PL) Everything is ready in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to begin the Little League Baseball World Series with the participation of 20 teams, divided into two zones.

The under-12 teams from Santa Clara (Cuba), Cardenales de Lara (Venezuela), Matamoros (Mexico), Guayama (Puerto Rico) and Aruba will represent Latin America in the international draw in search of a ticket to the grand final, along with six qualifiers from other regions of the planet.

In the other section, according to the regulations implemented in 2022, 10 teams from the United States will battle each other in search of the other ticket, in an event that celebrates its 77th anniversary and where the hosts have won on 37 occasions.

According to the competition schedule, the tournament is a double-elimination tournament, so the participating teams that suffer two defeats will have to return home.

Cuba made history last year when it made its debut in this tournament with the Alazanes de Granma and achieved its first victory before being eliminated, and this time -thanks to the automatic bids offered by the organizers on a rotating basis- it will be present with its national champions from Santa Clara.

Their first match is scheduled for Thursday at Los Voluntarios Stadium at 5 p.m. US Eastern Time against the Czech Republic, qualified by the Europe-Africa region.
