Torrance falls to Ohio, ending magical Little League World Series run
Williamsport, Pa. - Torrance Little League’s magical season comes to an end Thursday after falling to Ohio Thursday 4-2 in the elimination rounds of the Little League World Series.
Thursday’s game marked Torrance’s second loss in the double-elimination tournament. Torrance dropped Wednesday’s game to South Dakota on a no-hitter.
Prior to Thursday’s loss, Torrance was looking to become the first team from Los Angeles County to win the Little League World Series since 1963, when the all-star team from the Granada Hills National Little League won.
Ohio will face South Dakota in the final round of the Tom Seaver bracket Saturday. The winner of that game will face the winner of the Michigan-Hawaii game for the Little League World Series.
