After a rain-shorted win in the opener, El Segundo faces powerful Southwest team Monday night.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — The light blue and yellow colors that represent the west regional champion at the Little League World Series comes with a standard.
Playing under the radar is difficult for El Segundo, which has outscored opponents 17-6 its last four games. The West regional champion, having to navigate a bracket with Hawaii, northern California, and Arizona, will always enter the Little League World Series as a favorite. “We’re in a good spot,” Southwest coach Andy McRae said. “We’ve won them both and it has worked out. We have all our pitching.”
“Everyone who has been on the mound has been one of our main guys,” McRae said. “The second time out is always easier than the first time. That probably helps at the end of the day.” “Have you seen those California kids?” McRae asked the media during a press conference after the team’s second win. “It is hard to get overconfident. They are some big boys. I do not think we’ll have to worry about overconfidence.”
“We don’t have to stress on who is going to be where defensively,” Boehle said of having the full roster at his disposal. “There’s certain rotations we have with certain pitchers. We want them to pitch to contact and we know the defense will be behind them.”
