On Monday night, Connecticut's Fairfield squad kept its Little League World Series dream alive by defeating Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Connecticut's offense scored 10 runs in the sixth inning on Monday night to put the finishing touches on a 13-1 victory over South Dakota.

They might have been the underdog when they got to Williamsport; but after winning their first three games the way they did, the other teams still standing know that if they take the field against Fairfield, they’re going to have their hands full. The last Connecticut team to make it to the United States Championship was Westport in 2013.

Summerlin South defeated Utah, 6-3, in the Mountain Region tournament final to advance to the Little League World Series. The Mountain representatives join Connecticut as the only undefeated American teams left in Williamsport, and Summerlin South has not lost a postseason game this entire summer, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
