Following the success of the inaugural event held in 2024 as part of the Girls with Game 50 Celebration, the “Maria Pepe Little League Baseball® Legacy Series: A Girls with Game Experience” is set to return to the home of the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on June 6-8, 2025.
