Illinois Qualifies for Little League Senior Softball World Series Final Bracket

Share

The Illinois team based out of Beardstown keeps rolling along in the Little League Senior Softball World Series in Roxana, Delaware. Illinois defeated the Europe/Africa contingent 8-1 on Thursday to finish pool play with a (4-0) record. The win gives them one of the top-two seeds heading into the final, 8-team single elimination championship bracket starting today.

Illinois, the defending world champs, outscored their opponents 49-5 in their four games in the regional tournament last week and outscored their pool play opponents 35-5 this week for a total of 84-10 in 8 postseason games so far.

A pair of local players are a part of the Illinois squad, as seniors-to-be Addie Seitz from West Central and Kylie Robinson from Macomb have been a big part of the team’s success.

Illinois will now play a team representing the Eastern part of the US, based out of Delaware. That will be the 3rd quarterfinal game of the day and will start at 4:30. The semifinals are tomorrow, with the first one at 4:30, followed immediately by the second semifinal at 7:00. The World Series Championship Game is set for 6:00 on Sunday.

All world series games are carried on ESPN+.
