The Southeast regional final was the main attraction Wednesday as Florida and Tennessee battled for positioning in the Little League World Series bracket.
Florida had been the dominant team throughout the tournament, but it was Tennessee that came through with the shocking victory after a 10-run fifth inning was enough to secure the easy win.
Nolan Brown has been a key player throughout the week for Nolensville Little League and he came through again with three RBI, including a two-run single in the fifth to help clinch the win.
Florida and Tennessee will now join Southwest finalists West Texas and Louisiana in the full LLWS bracket.
The remaining regions were whittling down their teams through the elimination bracket. In each competition, Wednesday's winners put themselves one win away from a trip to Williamsport while the loser saw their run come to an end.
Each region now only has three teams remaining and will be down to just two by Friday.
Delaware is one of the teams advancing after a big 14-1 win over the team from Washington D.C. Shortstop Aiden Collie truly impressed with his work both offensively and defensively in the win:
Collie finished with three hits and six RBI during the game, including a grand slam, putting Canal Little League into the next round against the loser of New Jersey's game against Pennsylvania.
Iowa also lit up the scoreboard with the 11-3 win over North Dakota, including six runs in the first inning to take control of the game. Sean Hendricks pitched four innings while adding three RBI to help Davenport Southeast Little League stay alive in the Midwest region.
A win over South Dakota or Nebraska will then be enough to earn a spot in the Little League World Series.
In New England, it was New Hampshire that got its offense going in a 19-1 win over Maine. The Lucier twins dominated at the plate in the win, with Tristan tallying five RBI:

A matchup against either Connecticut or Massachusetts looms in the next round for the New Hampshire squad.
Southern California eliminated Utah with an 8-1 win, led by three hits and three RBI by Grant Hays. The West region is now down to Southern California, Northern California and Hawaii with only two of those teams advancing to the next stage.
In the Great Lakes region, Ohio advanced to the next round after Kentucky withdrew because of COVID-19. They will face the loser of Illinois and Michigan for the right to go to the Little League World Series.
Six more teams will punch their tickets to the next tournament on Wednesday with key games in each remaining region.
