Endwell, New York, wins Little League World Series, 2-1 over the team from East Seoul, South Korea.
“Endwell snapped a five-year championship drought for U.S. teams on Little League’s biggest stage and gave New York its first title since 1964.
Huntington Beach, California, won in 2011 and Mid Island from Staten Island won New York’s last World Series championship.”
The only other New York State victory in the LLWS was back in 1954 when the team from Schenectady beat the team from Colton, CA, 7-5, the year after Schenectady lost to Birmingham, AL, 1-0. It wasn’t the international tournament then that it has become.
BTW, Maine is a town (County subdivision) and Endwell a hamlet (Census-designated place) in Broome County, New York, where I grew up.

I also have become more familiar with the double-elimination process than anyone needs to be.
