Lycoming County Commissioner Marc C. Sortman has welcomed the 20 teams that punched their ticket to the Little League World Series to Williamsport.

“I’m excited to welcome Little League and I know that we are a very welcoming community,” he said.

“Be safe. Be careful on the roads,” he said. He suggested the restaurants “don’t get a lot of help, so take it easy on them if service is slow.”
