Underdown added that the recent Tournament of Champions event held in June proved very competitive and so likely will this year’s All-Stars competition.
What makes the tournament unique and unlike any other baseball program is that the road to Williamsport and the Little League World Series begins in these smaller district tournaments,, Underdown said.
