The New Hampshire team was selected to represent the region after defeating opponents from Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine in the New England Region Tournament last week.
The LLWS, which brings together teams of 10- to 12-year-olds from around the country and the world, begins Wednesday in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
