Following up on a massive win at the state championship, the Dublin 12s Little League Softball Team is on a ten-game winning streak — including postseason — after beating Utah’s Washington, 12-0, on Sunday at the Little League West Region Tournament in San Bernardino. They beat Southern California’s Quartz Hill, 7-3, on Saturday.

Dublin will continue challenging the West Region’s top brass at 7 p.m. on July 24. If they win this week’s tournament, Dublin will earn a spot in the World Series in Greenville, North Carolina, this August.

The team represents the only softball program in the League’s Tri-Valley district, according to the league’s website. DLL formed the softball division in 2022, and this is the league’s first 12s team to qualify for the West Region tournament. Last year’s 12s team got close, earning second place to Almaden Little League from San Jose.

The Dublin Little League 12s softball team won the Norcal Little League State Championships, which earned them a spot to compete at the West Region tournament in San Bernadino on July 20 – 26, 2024. If they win, they will move on to the World Series. (Photo courtesy of Jean Toler/Dublin Little League) 

While Little League International foots the bill to send the young athletes to the World Series, Vanessa Cahee, mother of one of the players, has started a GoFundMe to help fund travel costs while competing in San Bernardino.

Nearly all of the team’s players attend Dublin’s Wells Middle School together, while another attends Christensen Middle School in Livermore.

You can watch the Wes Region Tournament on live on Hulu, ESPN+ or follow the play-by-play on Game Changer’s smartphone app. Games continue every day through Thursday, July 26th.

The West Region tournament includes six teams:
Arizona – Wilcox Little League
Hawaii – Honolulu Little League
Nevada – Washoe Little League
Northern California – Dublin Little League
Southern California – Quartz Hill Little League
Utah – Washington Little League
