Five Little League Baseball teams on Saturday punched their tickets to South Williamsport, Pa., and the 2009 Little League Baseball World Series.

Four teams from the United States, representing the New England, Midwest, Great Lakes and Northwest Regions, along with Canada’s National Champion, will be making the trip to Little League International and the 63rd World Series, to be played Aug. 21-30.

Urbandale (Iowa) National Little League built a six-run lead, but needed a run-scoring single by Jaran Sabus in the fourth inning to break a tie and win the Midwest Region Championship game, 7-6, over Missouri’s Daniel Boone National Little League Saturday afternoon at Stokely Field in Indianapolis.
