Maine 7, Massachusetts 1
Maine is one win away from Williamsport, and it was mostly thanks to a five-run outburst in the fifth inning.
Charlie Armstrong led the team with three hits and three RBI, while pitcher Louie Bechard only allowed three hits, one run, and one walk in 4.1 innings.
"I felt confident, I felt like I was throwing pretty hard, and I was battling with those guys, who are some good hitters, and I felt like a warrior out there," Bechard told Rob Gullo of the New Britain Herald. "I'm very happy because most kids don't get this opportunity and I'm very fortunate to get this opportunity and this whole summer has been great with all these kids and it's amazing to make it that far."
Maine awaits the winner of New Hampshire vs. Massachusetts for the chance to advance to the Little League World Series.
Minnesota 16, Kansas 6
Kansas actually held a 6-4 lead over Minnesota in the top of the fourth inning. And then Minnesota erupted.
The team from Saint Louis Park pushed across 10 runs in the inning en route to a 16-6 victory over the team from Riverton. That ended Kansas' time at the Little League World Series, while Minnesota will face another win-or-go-home matchup against either Iowa or Wisconsin on Tuesday.
