Mexico will be making its way to Greenville, North Carolina, to represent the Latin America Region at the 2024 Little League Softball World Series as Jose Gonzalez Torres Little League (Monterey, Mexico) defeated Guayama LL (Guayama, Puerto Rico), 5-0, in the region championship game.
Jose Gonzalez 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 Jose Gonzalez 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. This is the first season of Little League Softball in Cuba, with the expansion of Little League’s relationship with the Cuba Baseball and Softball Federation that was renewed at the 2023 Little League Baseball World Series.
With the first-round matchups set, Jose Gonzalez Torres LL will compete in the Orange Bracket and will play in its first game against the Central Region on Sunday, Aug. 4 at 4 p.m.
