The Southwest Region, who are the only undefeated team remaining on the United States side of the bracket, is represented by the Needville Little League team from Needville, Texas. After going undefeated in their qualification tournament, the Needville squad defeated the representatives of the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, West, and Northwest Regions to earn their position in the championship game.
The West Region is represented by the young athletes from El Segundo Little League of El Segundo, California. After going 4-1 in their qualification tournament, the El Segundo squad defeated the team from the Great Lakes, before falling to the Southwest on Monday.
