With no international bracket at the Little League World Series this year because of COVID-19 travel restrictions, runners-up in the U.S. regional tournaments have filled half the 16 available slots.
Lake Oswego, Ore.'s Chase Kelly and Crew Corry celebrate after the final out in their 8-2 win against Oaks, Pa. during the sixth inning of a baseball game at the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pa., Friday, Aug. 20, 2021. Oregon won the game 8-2. SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Look out for the underdogs.
Ella Bruning of Abilene, Texas, just the 20th girl to play in the LLWS, got the game’s first hit and run in a 6-0 win over Washington. Noah Davidson of Hamilton, Ohio, knocked a hard ground ball just past the first baseman, sending the winning run home in a 1-0 victory in eight innings against Tennessee.
So why are all the runners-up playing so well? Simple, said Oregon manager Chris Kelly. When it comes down to it, these teams aren’t that different whether they are A's or B's. Javier Chavez, the manager of the Torrence, California, team was excited by the possibility of a rematch with Hawaii -- not something that usually happens between teams from the same region at the LLWS.
