Just because summer's winding down doesn't mean the softball spotlight is fading.
While the college campaign wrapped up in June and the curtain has closed on the inaugural Athletes Unlimited Softball League season, there's still some high-stakes action on deck, and this time, it's the rising stars of youth softball who are ready to steal the show.
The Little League Softball World Series swings into action on August 3, bringing together 12 elite teams from across the globe, eight representing various U.S. regions and four international standouts from Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Canada, and Europe-Africa.
As hosts, North Carolina automatically secures a spot in the tournament, with Pitt County Little League out of Winterville proudly flying the state's flag. They won it all last year and now return with their sights firmly set on a repeat championship run in 2025.
