For the first time in 62 years, the Little League World Series championship is heading to the Great Lakes State.
Michigan's Taylor North Little League topped the Hamilton West Side Little League team from Ohio in Sunday's championship game, 5–2, to capture the Little League World Series title. The two sides battled to the final pitch, with Ohio loading the bases with two outs and the go-ahead run at the plate in the top of the sixth inning. But pitcher Gavin Ulin got Ohio's Chance Retherford to fly out to center field to end the game.
The end of the game was fitting after Ohio loaded the bases in the top of the first inning but failed to score.
