Fairfield Little League World Series

I’m not sure how it falls, but hopefully Ffld avoids the big Italian kid on SC, kid throws cheese. He looks 16 years old - early bloomer.

As for Taipei, is this the same team that won 17/27 LLWS back in the 70-90s? More of a militant baseball academy than an actual town/district?

they are right in line to get him (i didn't realize SC came back and beat S Dakota)
he'll be at full rest vs Fairfield (if SC wins vs Nevada)

College basketball is worse quality basketball than NBA and I prefer it to NBA and I would much rather watch UConn men's basketball than any NBA game.

I have zero interest in watching any average town little league but I always enjoy watching the best little league teams in the world. I enjoy watching it even more when Connecticut has the best/one of the best little league teams in the world.

I'm not judging it. I think it's interesting.

I would also say college basketball is closer to pro basketball than little league baseball is to college baseball is to minor league and pro baseball. You're watching 11 year olds play a sport, even if they're the best of the 11 year olds.

Just wondering what real advantage does the CT team for being the only undefeated team left. All I can tell is they get one extra day rest since they do not play today. But the SC kid pitched yesterday. There has to be some pitching rotation advantage. Is it just that CT will have every pitcher available but SC or Nevada will not gave any pitcher that throws today.

It really only is not exhausting your best pitching. You do notice that there is a cliff in pitching quality after the first couple kids.

Let’s not forget CT had to play an extra game early in this one.

Right now it’s looking like a Vegas rematch. Clutch homer (although should have been punched out on pitch prior, which was a makeup call for the SE first baseman being gifted a walk).

Pitch limits and rest periods. So more/better pitchers can be available. See 14 and under rules in this link. Pitch limit per game is 85.

Regular Season Pitching Rules

The eligibility of a player to pitch in a Little League® baseball game is governed by a tiered pitch count that is tied to the number of pitches throw in a game. The pitch count determines how many days of rest are required before said player may pitch again in a Little League game.

If Connecticut loses, do they get another game because they haven't lost?
