The Westport Little League Team has advanced to the second round of competition in the Little League World Series after beating Nashville 3-2 last night in the opening round.
Westport represents New England and will continue on to play the Northwest at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
If they win again, the Connecticut Little Leaguers will play again Wednesday. If they lose, they’ll play on Monday.
It looks good for Westport so far – they’re still undefeated after a 6-0 season and a promising first series game.
The team comprises eleven players ages 11 to 13. They headed to South Williamsport, Pa. to face off against 15 other national and international teams competing for the title of world champion.
The championship game will be held Sunday, Aug. 25 at 3 p.m.
Open ceremonies were held Thursday morning. Games will be broadcast on ESPN.
