LLWS Champs Visit Donald Trump at White House, Fly Back Home on Air Force One

Adam WellsOct 11, 2019

Two months after winning the 2019 Little League World Series, the kids from Louisiana's Eastbank Little League paid a visit to the White House and met with President Donald Trump. 

Per ESPN.com, Trump hosted the team in Washington, D.C., before offering them a trip back home on Air Force One:

Since Trump was heading to Louisiana for a campaign rally Friday evening, giving the baseball team an opportunity to ride in the president's plane made perfect sense.  

Louisiana had a stunning run in Williamsport to win the state's first Little League World Series title. The team opened play with a 5-2 loss to Hawaii before going on a six-game winning streak. It culminated in an 8-0 win over Curacao in the championship game.
