WORCESTER - The City of Worcester was denied its bid to host the 2020 Softball Little League World Series.

District 4 Little League administrator Linda McGill told Spectrum News 1 on Thursday that Worcester was passed over for the tournament.  

McGill said it's disappointing news, but the league will continue to host its Senior Little League East Regional tournament.

For years, the Softball World Series has been played at Alpenrose Dairy in Portland, Oregon.

There's no word yet on what site was chosen to host this year's tournament.
