The only non-Far East Little Leagues to win the Little League World Series in the 1970s came from New Jersey. Wayne American's 'mop-top' club bested the Campbell (CA) LL in 1970, while Lakewood's 1975 squad beat Tampa (FL) Belmont Heights to win a U.S.-only Little League World Series. Ridgewood National also earned a Little League World Series berth in 1979, but lost its quarterfinal round game.
Of the ten state champions in the 1970s, only one -- Wallington -- had previously won a state title.
