The top 20 Little League teams from around the globe enter Williamsport, aiming to become the 2025 Little League World Series champions.

WILLIAMSPORT, PA (WFSB) - Fairfield National beat Hawaii 5-1 in the second round of the Little League World Series Friday evening. They had defeated a team from Richmond, TX on Wednesday night, 1-0. The tournament is comprised of 10 teams from the United States and 10 from around the world.

Hawaii couldn’t pass its first test at the Little League Majors (ages 9-12) World Series on Friday at Williamsport, Pa. Hawaii’s inability to come up with clutch hits and a rough fifth inning contributed to a 5-1 loss to Connecticut. The West Regional champion stranded eight runners and also had two runners thrown out at the plate.
