The Mid-Atlantic representatives will meet Southeast Region champion Northwood of South Carolina. Northwood pitcher Alex Edmondson threw a no-hitter in his team's opening win against Cranston Western of Rhode Island.
The Red Land-Northwood meeting will be played at Lamade Stadium in prime time at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be televised by ESPN2.
The other game on the U.S. Side of the bracket will see Southwest Region champion Pearland West of Texas and explosive Sweetwater Valley of California, the West Region champion.

Sweetwater Valley rolled over Bowling Green of Kentucky, the Great Lakes Region champion 14-2. The California team flexed its muscles by bashing six home runs, and Pearland West is going to need another exceptional pitching performance if it is going to be competitive with Sweetwater Valley.
On the international side of the bracket, Europe-Africa representative Uganda will take on Venezuela, the Latin American Region champions. Uganda surprised many observers by beating the Dominican Republic in the first-round game, while the Cardenales defeated Australia 5-2.
Mexico will take on Japan in the second international game Sunday. Mexico got by Canada 1-0 in its first-round effort, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the sixth inning on a single by Daniel Zargoza.
Japan was victorious in its first game of the tournament, as it used the power of Kengo Tomita, who hit two home runs, to get by Chinese Taipei 7-5.

Cranston Western rebounded from getting no-hit Friday by downing Webb City 6-3. The Rhode Island team got going early with five runs in the top of the first, and while Webb City threatened a comeback in the sixth inning, Cranston Western held on to its advantage. Cam Adamec had two hits for Rhode Island.
On the international side of the bracket, Australia pulled off a mild surprise with its 3-0 victory over the Dominican Republic. Blake Cavill went 2-for-3 for the team from Sydney, and one of his hits was a home run. Australian pitcher Jake Burns gave up just one hit in 4.1 innings of work.
