They might have been the underdog when they got to Williamsport; but after winning their first three games the way they did, the other teams still standing know that if they take the field against Fairfield, they’re going to have their hands full. The last Connecticut team to make it to the United States Championship was Westport in 2013.

Fairfield National defeated South Dakota 13-1 to get within one game​ of playing for the U.S. championship in Williamsport.

Fairfield National, representing the Metro Region, will play against Mountain Region representative Summerlin South Little League from Las Vegas, Nevada.  Connecticut and Nevada are slated to face off at 3 p.
