The All-Star team from the Westbrook, Maine Little League defeated the All-Stars from the Cranston, Rhode Island West Little League in the New England regional finals yesterday. They advance to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennslyvania. Go Maine!

I've been watching the Little League World Series for a few years now. The games are great fun to watch. In order to make it to Williamsport, the team first has to win their district tournament. If they win that, they go to a sectional tournament. The winner of that competes in a state tournament, with the winner of that going to a regional tournament. Finally, the winner of that goes to the World Series Tournament in Williamsport. This tournament has sixteen teams from all over the world (eight from the U.S. and eight from the rest of the world).

I was rooting for the Massachusetts team (from Dudley) to win the New England tournament, but since they got knocked out, Maine is the next best state in my opinion. I'll be rooting for them in Williamsport. Go New England!!

If your interested, the games will be on tv on ESPN and ESPN2. Here is the website:http://www.littleleague.org/series/2005divisions/llbb/series.htm
