The Little League World Series, one of the biggest spectacles of the summer, finished its annual trip to South Williamsport, Pa. on Sunday. As usual, eight teams from the United States and eight international squads took the fields at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium for the 10-day affair. The team from River Ridge, Louisiana, the U.S. champion, defeated international champion Curaçao, 8-0, for the 2019 title.
There are several current MLB players who played in the Little League World Series over the years. New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier won the LLWS with his team from Toms River, New Jersey in 1998, and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/infielder Scott Kingery (Phoenix, Arizona, 2006) and Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (Chandler, Arizona, 2007) also played in the Little League World Series on their path to to the big leagues.
Here are the results from the 2019 Little League World Series.
