(Williamsport, PA) -- Jackie Robinson West of Chicago rallied for three runs in the last of the sixth but fell 8-4 to South Korea in Sunday's Little League World Series championship game. It's the first title for Seoul, South Korea since winning back-to-back in 1984 and 1985. They are also the first organization to win three championships.

A team from the United States has not won the Little League World Series since California in 2011. The U.S. champion team from the Jackie Robinson West Little League in Chicago got past Las Vegas Saturday to win the U.S. title and advance. Japan took third place by beating the West regional champs.
