This was the first time that the Little League World Series title was won with a walk-off home run, hit by Rich Cominski in the bottom of the 7th inning. Attendees at the final game included former General of the Army George Marshall and Governor of Pennsylvania George M. Leader.
An all-black team from Charleston, South Carolina, which had won its state and regional tournaments by forfeit when their all-white opponents refused to play against them, was ruled ineligible to play in the tournament but invited by Little League to attend the event as guests.
