Friday Highlights

Iowa 7, Wisconsin 6

Iowa secured its trip to the LLWS by overcoming a comeback push from Wisconsin in an extra-inning thriller.

Anthony Johnson Jr. ran home on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning to punch his team's ticket to Williamsport.

Back in the sixth inning, Iowa was up by two runs when Wisconsin scored on an RBI double from Sam Irwin, then tied the game on a wild pitch.

Iowa looked to reclaim the lead after loading the bases in the bottom of the sixth, but Irwin ended the frame with a lineout to send the game to extra innings.

Wisconsin grabbed a late lead in the top of the seventh after scoring on a hit-by-pitch and an RBI walk.

That left Wisconsin three outs away from the Midwest Region title when Iowa started the bottom of the seventh by getting its first two runners on base.

Kannon Kane sent both runners home to tie the game before Johnson scored the deciding run later in the inning.

The two teams combined for a total of 24 walks before Iowa clinched its opportunity to represent the Midwest in Williamsport.

Pennsylvania 3, Delaware 1

The battle for the Mid-Atlantic Region title was decided in the bottom of the first inning.

Delaware was one out away from a scoreless inning when Pennsylvania took advantage of an error and an RBI single from Ryan Hennessey to score two runs.

Pennsylvania's Jack Cassidy sent home another run with an RBI single before Delaware closed out the frame.

Delaware got one run back in the top of the second thanks to a leadoff single from Charles Puit and an RBI hit from Taj Amobi.

Pennsylvania held Delaware to three hits and no runs in the final four innings to close out the win, which ended when relief pitcher Ryan Donnelly threw the final runner out at first base.

Cole Warner was the winning pitcher after striking out eight batters through five innings. Pennsylvania will now advance to the LLWS.

Nevada 9, Montana 2

Nevada is heading to the LLWS after a strong pitching performance from starter Owen Guzman.

Guzman started out the game by forcing Montana through a three-batter first inning, then drew a lead-off walk in the bottom of the frame.

Logan Edwards, who was batting second for Nevada, also walked before both runners made it home on a wild pitch.

Nevada built on that two-run lead after loading the bases in the bottom of the third.

The team scored on a walk and two hits to secure a six-run advantage midway through the game.

Jaxson Podoll recorded Montana's first hit of the game in the top of the fourth, but Montana was unable to get a runner home.

Carsynn Meyer, the only girl participating in the regional round of the Little League postseason, recorded a double in the fourth as Nevada padded the lead.

Montana scored two runs late in the sixth inning but was ultimately unable to close the gap.

Starting pitcher Owen Guzman recorded 10 strikeouts through five innings to claim the win as Nevada locked in the team's trip to Pennsylvania.

New Jersey 8, Connecticut 6

New Jersey overcame a pair of four-run deficits (4-0 and 6-2) to defeat Connecticut 8-6 in an instant classic.

Owen Feliz hit a game-tying, two-RBI double in the bottom of the fifth inning to knot the matchup at six. Jett Bridges and Chase Klimkowski then hit back-to-back RBI singles for the 8-6 edge. Connecticut went down one-two-three in the sixth, sending New Jersey to the Little League World Series.

New Jersey was down 6-2 in the third with no outs when Connecticut pitcher Chase Sutter hit a two-run homer. Mason Rincon came on in relief and pitched an absolute gem from there, throwing four perfect innings while striking out eight.

Feliz had five RBI for New Jersey. He hit a two-RBI double in the first to cut Connecticut's 4-0 lead in half and later hit an RBI groundout in the bottom of the third to make it a 6-3 game.

Gabe Garcia excelled from the leadoff spot for New Jersey with three hits and three runs. Rincon, a power hitter and pitcher who can make a case for being the best Little Leaguer in the World Series field, was intentionally walked three times and scored twice.

Connecticut enjoyed a great start to the game with four first-inning runs courtesy of a Hugh Butler RBI triple and RBI singles via Alex Abelson, Jack Houlihan and Roscoe Hurty.

They put up a great effort against a stout New Jersey squad. Still, the Bayonne-based team is heading to Pennsylvania, where it will face New England (Bridgewater, Massachusetts) on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET to kick off the tournament.

Southern California 11, Hawaii 3

Southern California started hot, held off a late Hawaii charge and then pulled away en route to an 11-3 victory.

Isaac Ramirez Aguirre provided the big blow, smacking a two-out grand slam to cap a six-run fifth inning to give Southern California the 11-3 edge.

Southern California led 5-0 after four innings thanks to two runs in the third (off Teagen Cochran's two-RBI single) and three in the fourth (Templeton Tran hit an RBI single, and Southern California scored on a passed ball and a wild pitch).

However, Hawaii fought back and led the fifth off with back-to-back singles followed by Waika Doctolero's three-run homer to cut the lead to 5-3. A walk put the tying run at bat, but a strikeout and a double play ended the frame.

Southern California scored all six of its fifth-inning runs with two outs. The first two runs were via a passed ball and a Jesus Cuadra RBI single before the aforementioned grand slam.
