A team from Seoul won the Little League World Series for the first time in 29 years, defeating U.S. champions Chicago 8-4 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on Sunday.
 
Sin Dong-wan and Choi Hae-chan were the main contributors to Sunday’s victory as they both hit home runs and Choi pitched the final four innings of the game.

Chicago, down 8-1, rallied late, scoring 3 runs in the last inning, but the Korean team held on for the victory.
 
Seoul opened a new chapter in little league history, becoming the first Little League organization to have won the World Series three times. Teams from Seoul won the title in 1984 and 1985.
