2015 Little League World Series Play Canceled Thursday Due to Weather

The Little League World Series was forced to cancel its games Thursday due to inclement weather, per Little League on Twitter, pushing those contests back to Friday.

ESPN provided the updated schedule.

Matchup	Time (ET)	Watch
Caribbean vs. Europe-Africa	10 a.m.	ESPN
Southwest vs. Northwest	11 a.m.	ESPN
Latin America vs. Australia	1 p.m.	ESPN
Great Lakes vs. West	2 p.m.	ESPN2

New England vs. Southeast	5 p.m.	ESPN
Japan vs. Asia-Pacific	7 p.m.	ESPN
Midwest vs. Mid-Atlantic	8 p.m.	ESPN

Every game will also be streamed on WatchESPN.

While it is certainly disappointing that the opening day of action at the Little League World Series had to be canceled, the thought of eight games Friday will give the event a March Madness-like quality, with the frenzy and excitement of constant action throughout the day. 

Friday's action should go off without any interruptions from Mother Nature as well, as forecasts call for mostly sunny skies with a few clouds in the afternoon and a 0 percent chance of precipitation, per Weather.com.
