Aside from broadcasting all the LLWS games and regional semis and finals, ESPN broadcasts every level of LL championships for boys and girls. The levels are Majors (11/12), Juniors (13/14), Seniors (15/16) and Big League (17/18). Some are tape delayed. You will see the LL softball WS just before the LLWS. It used to drive me nuts to see championship softball played on a grass field.
It's not travel. It's kids having fun playing ball. It's all part of the package (LLWS) ESPN really wants.
