2015 Little League World Series
Template:Infobox LLWS The 2015 Little League World Series was held in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania from August 21 until August 30, 2015.[1] Eight teams from the United States and eight from throughout the world competed in the 69th edition of the tournament. The Tokyo Kitasuna Little League from Tokyo, Japan defeated Red Land Little League of Lewisberry, Pennsylvania in the championship game, 18–11 - the most total runs scored in any final game (29). It was Japan's fourth title in the past six years. The tournament was originally scheduled to begin on August 20, however, inclement weather resulted in the postponement of all first day games, moving all of the games to Friday, which resulted in eight games being played on that day, a World Series first.[2]
