The American League and National League have been a part of Major League Baseball for a great portion of its history, but expansion could risk their extinction.

They might have been the underdog when they got to Williamsport; but after winning their first three games the way they did, the other teams still standing know that if they take the field against Fairfield, they’re going to have their hands full. The last Connecticut team to make it to the United States Championship was Westport in 2013.
