North Regina Payout Odds to Win the Little League World Series
North Regina will represent Canada in the 2023 Little League World Series (LLWS) with future odds to be published at BetUS shortly.
North Regina Little League defeated Vancouver's Little Mountain Baseball 4-3 on Thursday to win the Canadian title and play in Williamsport, PA.
“My heart just started racing. It didn’t feel real,” said pitcher Nickson Hjelsing – describing the moment of the final out.
The win was quite a feat for North Regina as they started the tournament 0-3.
“We had a team meeting on the field when we lost [the third game] and then everybody said ‘Let’s go boys. We’re going to win this boys’,” Hjelsing said.
“We just kept grinding, winning one game at a time, one pitch at a time,” shared Hjelsing’s teammate – Braeden McQueen.
“At the end of the round robin, into the finals, we didn’t have a doubt on the bench. We knew that no matter the score, no matter the situation, the boys wouldn’t stop fighting,” said Cole Warken, manager and coach.
Though Canada has never won the series, the 1965 Stoney Creek Optimist Little League of Ontario did reach the final.
This is only the second time a Saskatchewan team will represent Canada at the Little League World Series.
Games begin on August 16th and run through the 27th.
