How to watch Irmo All-Stars as they compete in Little League World Series
After arriving in Williamsport, Pennsylvania almost a week ago, the Irmo All-Stars are ready for their Little League World Series debut.
Irmo, the Southeast Region champions, play New England Region champ Braintree American at 3 p.m. Thursday at Lamade Stadium in a first-round matchup.
Irmo is the first team from South Carolina to make it to the LLWS since Taylors in 2015. Taylors went 1-2 in its appearance at Williamsport.
Where is the Southeast team from?
The team based in Irmo, South Carolina will appear in the bracket and on your TV screens as the Southeast squad. The Irmo community is located about 15 miles northwest of Columbia, the state’s capital city.
Irmo won the Southeast bracket by defeating defending Little League World Series champion Lake Mary (Florida) 5-4 in dramatic fashion, scoring five runs in the bottom of the sixth to win the game. Brady Westbrooks had the game-winning three-run double for the walk-off victory in the game played in Warner Robins, Georgia.
