Congrats Gray New Gloucester! You're in this year's Little League World Series. Their odds will be available shortly and live at BetUS.
The Maine Little League team will be representing the New England region.
The last New England regional team to make it into an LLWS final was Cranston, Rhode Island. Trumbull, Connecticut was the last winner from this region way back in 1989.
Connecticut has had multiple teams appear in the final. Rhode Island is the only other New England state to be represented in the final.
As for the Little League World Series itself, this will be the first time a Maine team has reached the event since Westbrook in 2005.
The Gray-New Gloucester/Raymond Little League team defeated Canton, Massachusetts Thursday night 2-1 and wins the New England Division Title.
They may be the team to beat this year. New Gloucester went undefeated during the district and state tournaments, outscoring their opponents 70-7 over eight games.
“I dreamed about it and thought it would be cool, and we’re one game away from it,” said Anthony Piccone, 12, prior to advancing with the win over Massachusetts. “It’s the most important game of our life. Just go out and do our thing, and we’ll be right there.”
In addition to futures odds on the LLWS, BetUS is expected to offer lines on daily matchups.
