“It’s so much greener than Las Vegas, Nevada. There’s way more bugs in Pennsylvania than anywhere,” Kleiner said.
Kleiner also described what it feels like to play in the tournament.
“It feels amazing, just playing in front of thousands and making big-time plays and getting to bat in front of people and showing off how good you are,” Kleiner said.
Paseo Verde will play the team from Hamilton, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, Thursday morning in its first game of the Little League World Series.
