High Powered Offense's Lead the Way

The story of the early portion Saturday's Little League World Series Regional action belongs to the batters.

Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Alaska, Washington, New York and Florida all put up more than 10 runs in their victories, while numerous others took victories via multiple runs.

North Dakota had a day-high 16 runs in their victory over Wisconsin, which advanced the team to the Midwest Regional semi-finals. They will take on South Dakota, who defeated Nebraska 7-4.

Massachusetts and Maine opened up the New England Regional with wins over Vermont and New Hampshire respectively. Massachusetts cruised to a 12-0 victory with a one-hitter, while Maine had to wait until extra innings to get any runs across, but put three on the board and shut the door to earn the 3-0 victory.

Ohio opened up the Great Lakes Regional with a 12-2 victory over Michigan, and now look towards a matchup against Kentucky, who did not have a first-round game.

Alaska made the long trip to San Bernardino for the Northwest regional but made good use of the miles with a 10-2 victory over Idaho. The state has not made an appearance in the Little League World Series since 2007, so the hot start in game one could be a good sign.

Washington took a 4-0 lead in the first inning and then eventually grabbed a 12-0 lead they would not relinquish. This sets up a winners bracket matchup between Washington and Alaska for a spot in the Regional Final and an elimination game between Oregon and Idaho for Sunday.

Florida and Georgia each earned spots in the Southeast Regional semi-finals with victories over Virginia and Tennessee respectively. The 11-1 Florida victory was a little more convincing than Georgia's 6-2 victory, but both squads look formidable going into that game.

Virginia bounced back from the brink of elimination with a 5-4 victory over West Virginia, eliminating the latter and setting up a matchup with the winner of Saturday's Tennessee-South Carolina game.

The Metro Division saw New Jersey shut down Connecticut 3-0 and New York dismantle Rhode Island 10-1 to advance in the winners bracket.

Hawaii erased a 4-0 deficit to defeat Arizona 7-4 in the opening game of the West Region

Oklahoma outlasted Mississippi 5-4 in the Southwest Regional advancing to the semi-finals of the losers bracket.
