For the second year in a row, the West Side Little League team based in Hamilton, Ohio, is one win away from a berth in the Little League World Series.
West Side used its potent offense to get past North Oldham 11-4 in the Great Lakes Region winner's bracket semifinals. Since the start of the Ohio Little League state tournament, West Side has scored double-digit runs in six of its last eight games.
The Great Lakes Region championship game is 7 p.m. Aug. 12 and will be broadcast on ESPN2. West Side will either face Jasper National (Indiana), which it previously beat 11-0, or it will have a rematch with North Oldham.
The Little League World Series begins on Wednesday, Aug. 19, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The winner of the Great Lakes Region will face the Mountain Region champion at 2 p.m. on Aug. 20. West Side last went to the LLWS in 2021, when it advanced all the way to the finals.
Trailing North Oldham 3-1 in the top of the second inning, West Side put up nine runs to take a commanding lead. The first two runs scored on a walk and a wild pitch. Boone Treadway, son of Badin head coach Brion Treadway, tripled home two more runs. Leo Feltner and Josiah Infante both had RBI doubles before Xander Kinkade capped the inning with a two-run home run.
