The Sioux Falls Little League team that has represented the state of South Dakota on numerous occasions over the last few years at the Little League World Series has delivered countless memorable moments for fans in their home state.

The 2022 Sioux Falls Little League team has done the same, capturing the state title and advancing to the Midwest Regional.

Unfortunately, this go-around won't result in a trip to Williamsport for the Little League World series. They were eliminated from the field on Saturday.

South Dakota Little League was defeated by the team from Minnesota 5-4 in an elimination game.

Minnesota advances and will try to avoid elimination in their next game as well, while South Dakota heads home for the season.

South Dakota Little League found themselves in the elimination game after they lost their opening game of the Midwest Regional to Missouri 5-4.

Even though this year's run didn't end in a trip to Williamsport, the young boys, their coaches, and their parents deserve a ton of credit for their accomplishments in 2022.

We wish them the best of luck in the offseason and can't wait to follow their run in 2023.


From Frybread to Pheasants - Here are South Dakota's Official State Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. South Dakota is no different.

Here is what we have so far in Wyoming. Thanks to the South Dakota Secretary of State's Office for the info:
