Newtown Little League One Win Away From Trip To LL World Series

NEWTOWN, PA — The Council Rock Newtown Little League U12 Team is one win away from a trip to Williamsport and the Little League World Series.

Representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the team opened play at the Little League Mid-Altlantic Region playoff in Connecticut on Sunday clobbering Washington, 13-1. The team followed up with another drubbing on Tuesday, this time it was Maryland falling to Pennsylvania, 11-1.

Today's win propels the Pennsylvania team from Newtown to the Mid-Atlantic Region Championship game scheduled for a 3 p.m. start on Friday, August 9. It will be shown on ESPN.

The back-to-back wins extended the team's winning streak to 17 games.

Their 2024 12U season started with an undefeated District 30 run. Competing against six local teams, Council Rock Newtown went 8-0 to secure the District 30 title. The team went on to complete an undefeated Section 6 run [3-0].

Following their Section 6 win, the boys traveled to Newville to compete as one of the top 8 teams in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Facing tough competition from around the state, Council Rock Newtown brought the State Title home with another set of undefeated games where they went 4-0.

All Little League Regional games are streamed on ESPN+ and the regional semis and finals will also be broadcasted on ESPN/ESPN2. Winners from each region will then head to Williamsport in preparation for the start of the Little League World Series beginning on Wednesday, August 14.

Most of these boys started playing together at the start of elementary school. They then started their All-Star career at 10U, where they walked away with a solid 3rd place finish in the PA State
Tournament. In 2023, they competed as the 11U All-Stars and were able to see the PA championship game but ended the season as the PA State Runner-Up. Following their 2nd place finish in 2023, this team was determined to come back in 2024 to go after that first-place finish, putting them closer to their dream of a World Series appearance.
