Mexico will be making its way to Greenville, North Carolina, to represent the Latin America Region at the 2024 Little League Softball® World Series, Presented by DICK’S Sporting Goods, as José González Torres Little League (Monterey, Mexico) defeated Guayama LL (Guayama, Puerto Rico), 5-0, in the region championship game.
José González Torres went 5-0 in the region tournament, which was held in Guánica, Puerto Rico, from July 8-13, and the Championship Game was a rematch of the very first game of the tournament, which Mexico bested Guayama 11-2. This will mark the sixth time a team from Mexico has competed in the Little League Softball World Series, with the most recent appearance coming in 2019, when Olmeca LL from Mexico City, went 2-2. This is the first World Series appearance for José González Torres LL.
History was made at this year’s Latin America Region Tournament, with a Little League Softball team from Cuba, La Palma Softball Little League, participating in the tournament for the first time.
