Fairfield Little League World Series

LLWS is all over the place. Some teams randomly get a bye others play extra games and in the end it isn’t really double elimination.

Not off to a good start. Down 3 runs in the top of the first. 34 pitches thrown already.

 

[Flipside]

Yes, it is against the spirit of a double elimination tournament but there is a reason behind this. The belief was that having to win back to back games (or winning game two after losing the first game) would deplete the pitching too much for the world championship game.

The preliminary rounds were given the same format to conform with how the world series is formatted.

next year they'll implement a BCS system, play no games, and just pick 2 teams to play for the championship

Unfortunately Nevada made the big plays that CT made last game

 

[superjohn]

Fairfield third base coach really blew it.

 

[HitDog]

Yes but that was a terrible send by the 3rd base coach

 

[Lafayette]

Tough loss

 

[Lafayette]

Bummer they went undefeated yet Nevada prevailed with a loss coming in - had this been single elimination we would not have faced them.

Nevada was better today, won’t blame the coach.
