BERWICK, Pa. (EYT) — The Clarion 12-and-under Little League All-Star team sits perhaps just four wins from a state title and berth in the Little League Mid-Atlantic Region.

Clarion, the District 25 and Section 1 champion, continues its quest for Williamsport at Noon Sunday, July 22, when it takes on District 19 and Section 8 champion, Ridley, in Berwick, where the tournament is being held.

The winner of the Clarion/Ridley game will play the winner of Sunday’s game between Canonsburg and Back Mountain National at 5 p.m. Monday, July 23, while the loser of the Clarion/Ridley game will take on the loser of the Canonsburg/Back Mountain National Contest at 12:30 p.m. Monday in the double-elimination tournament.

Play in the winner’s bracket after Monday continues Tuesday, July 24, with the winner’s bracket title game. The winner’s bracket champion then gets the catbird seat by not playing again until the first of possibly two title games Saturday, July 28.

Winners of loser’s bracket games will play Tuesday, Wednesday, July 25, and Thursday, July 26, before advancing to the first of possibly two title games Saturday with a winner-take-all title game, if necessary, being played Sunday, July 29.

In addition to the four teams mentioned above, the eight-team tournament also includes Keystone Little League, Huntingdon Little League, Lehigh Little League and KAU Kennett Square Little League.

A full tournament bracket can be found here.

The winner of the Pennsylvania championship advances to the East Region being played in Bristol, Conn., from Aug. 5-11. The other states/districts in the Mid-Atlantic Region include Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Washington, D.C. with Pennsylvania and New Jersey holding first-round byes.

The winner of the Mid-Atlantic Region moves into the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., being held Aug. 16-26.
