Bring on the dreams of stardom.
Can it really happen? The Aliso Viejo Little League Majors Division All-Star team is moving a small step forward toward every little-leaguer's fantasy: playing the Little Leauge World Series.
The Aliso Viejo Little League Majors Division All-Star team won the California Division 3 (Southern California) championship Sunday by sweeping Tustin Eastern in a best 2-of-3 series in Murrieta.
The victory advances Aliso Viejo to the Western Regional Tournament at San Bernardino's Al Haughton Stadium, with games beginning today through Aug. 10.
The Western Regional Tournament is the final step in qualifying for the Little League World Series, scheduled for Aug. 15-24, an event that has become a worldwide phenomenon with live television coverage of every game.
This is the farthest any Aliso Viejo team has ever advanced in the postseason.
"This is truly an exciting time for the Aliso Viejo Little League," said AVLL President Tony DeGruccio. "These kids are on a magical mission. We are very proud of these boys and hope they can continue to roll and keep the magic going!"
