Phillies to play in 2023 Little League Classic in Williamsport

The Phillies are returning to Williamsport. Major League Baseball announced on Sunday that the 2023 edition of the Little League Classic will feature the Phillies and Washington Nationals on Aug. 20.

It will be played, as always, at Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field — home of the Williamsport Crosscutters, formerly the Phillies’ Class A Short Season affiliate. Though just a couple hours’ drive northwest from Philadelphia, the Nationals will act as the home team.

The Little League Classic, which follows a Little League World Series game attended by the participating MLB teams earlier in the day, will be in its sixth installment when the Phillies and Nationals take the field.
