Little League World Series 2025 Monday Scores, Bracket Results and Highlights

Monday was a big day for the upper half of the bracket at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

All eight teams in action have gone undefeated at the LLWS thus far and were looking to remain in the top half of the bracket, though four teams would be cast to the bottom half of the bracket by day's end.

Below, we'll break down the results and top highlights from Monday's action.

Schedule and Results

Latin America (Venezuela) def. Japan, 4-0

Mountain (Nevada) def. Southeast (South Carolina), 1-0

Asia-Pacific (Taiwan) def. Caribbean (Aruba), 4-0

Metro (Connecticut) def. Midwest (South Dakota), 13-1

Taiwan 4, Aruba 0

The string of incredible pitching performances continued during the third game on the LLWS slate Monday, as Taiwan's Liu Wei-Heng struck out 11 of the 19 hitters he faced in his 4.2 innings and led his country to a 4-0 win over Aruba.

Chen Shi-Hong added an RBI single and Lai Yu-Han had a two-run base hit to pace Taiwan's offense.

Taiwan will now face Venezuela in the top half of the bracket as it looks to win its 18th LLWS and extend its all-time lead among international entrants. Aruba will face Canada on the bottom half of the bracket, hoping to remain alive.

Nevada 1, South Carolina 0

South Carolina starting pitcher Joe Giulietti was incredible on Monday, throwing a no-hitter through six innings of regulation that included 12 strikeouts. It still wasn't enough to get past Nevada, however.

With Giulietti removed from the game in the seventh inning, Nevada's Cutter Ricafort singled to right field and Griffin Vargas scored on an error, giving the Mountain representatives a 1-0 victory in extra innings.

The pitching duo of Garrett Gallegos and Luke D'Ambrosio were impressive in their own right on Monday, allowing just five hits and two walks while striking out 16. Monday has undoubtedly been the day of elite pitching performances.

Nevada will now face the winner of Connecticut vs. South Dakota in the upper portion of the bracket, while South Carolina will face the West representatives in the lower portion.

Venezuela 4, Japan 0

Venezuela has played three games in Williamsport. It has yet to allow a single run in any of them.

The representatives from Latin American continued their shutout ways on Monday, beating Japan 4-0 behind Juan Reyes' complete-game masterpiece on the mound (three hits, two walks, nine strikeouts and no runs in six innings).

For good measure, he added an RBI single and a run scored in the contest.

The Venezuelans have now outscored Puerto Rico, Canada and Japan by a combined score of 13-0 in Williamsport. Reyes has pitched in two of those contests, allowing just seven hits in 12 innings while whiffing 18. A dominant performance from the young pitcher thus far at the tournament.

Venezuela now awaits the winner of Taiwan vs. Aruba, while Japan will face Mexico in the bottom half of the bracket in a fight to remain in the tournament.

Connecticut 13, South Dakota 1

Connecticut continued its dominant run on Monday with a late-inning surge.

South Dakota got on the board first with an RBI single from Kenson Henderson, but from there, it was all Connecticut.

Connecticut put up a pair of runs in the fourth and added another in the fifth before an offensive explosion in the top of the sixth inning. Connecticut scored 10 runs in the sixth, two of which came on walks. After that, there was little South Dakota could do trailing by 12 runs entering the final inning.

While it was an offensive showcase all around for Connecticut, first baseman Tommy D'Amura led the way, scoring a pair of runs and picking up three RBI on 2-for-3 from the plate.

After the win, Connecticut will now take on Nevada from the Mountain region.
