Top Players
Jude Abbadessa, Mid-Atlantic
New York has yet to lose during the regional round or at the Little League World Series. Their most recent triumph came on Wednesday against the Great Lakes with a score that resembled that of a football game, 13-10.
They were powered by the bat of Jude Abbadessa, who went 5-for-5 with two doubles, a home run, three runs and six RBI.
On top of that, he helped close out the game after Great Lakes got to Mid-Atlantic starter Ryan Harlost.
In 2.2 innings of work, Abbadessa allowed two hits while striking out a pair of batters.
Now, New York faces a Southeast squad that put up eight runs on the same Great Lakes team Abbadessa and company beat on Wednesday. Abbadessa will have to lead the bats one more time if they want to make it to the Little League World Series championship game.
Seum Kwon, Asia-Pacific
Just one day after losing to Latin America on Wednesday, Asia-Pacific faced a powerful Mexico team on Thursday with a trip to the international championship game on the line.
Asia-Pacific didn't have much of a problem with Mexico as South Korea was able to put it away early thanks to the power of Seum Kwon, who belted two home runs in the first two innings.
It helped Asia-Pacific open up a 6-0 lead after three innings, which was more than enough support to win with.
In their rematch with a Latin America team that just took them down, it's a priority for Asia-Pacific to get Kwom and his big swing going once again again.
