Aruba Center Little League (Santa Cruz, Aruba) has clinched its spot at the 2024 Little League Baseball® World Series, Presented by T-Mobile, after winning the Caribbean Region Tournament with a 2-0 win over the Dominican Republic in the region championship game.
Aruba finished the region tournament with a 4-2 overall record, falling in two of its first three games of pool play before rallying back to win its final three games to claim the title.
Aruba Center Little League is the only league from Aruba to ever make it to Williamsport, with its first and only other appearance coming in 2011. The league finished with an 0-2 record during that appearance as it matched up against the eventual international champions from Japan in the opening round before falling to Chinese Taipei in four innings in the elimination bracket game.
With the first-round matchups for the 2024 LLBWS announced on June 12, just one week after the anniversary of the first-ever Little League game and in the heart of the 65th National Little League® Week Celebrations, Aruba Center Little League will open the tournament in Game 1 against the Mexico Region champion, Matamoros Little League, on Wednesday, August 14, at 1.p.m. in Volunteer Stadium.
