The mercy rule came into effect during Monday's consolation game as New England beat Australia, 15-0.

Tommy Turner led the way for New England, going 4-for-4 from the plate with four RBI and four runs. Four New England pitchers, meanwhile, combined to give up three hits across four innings before the game was called.

Tyler Simon and Noah McParlin added two runs apiece as well.

New England struck early and often, pushing across a run in the first inning and five in the second. It blew things up in the top of the fourth, pushing across nine runs. It was a tough way to end the tournament for Australia, but after the game, the players were reminded of their amazing journey to even reach Williamsport:

That, more than any result, is what the Little League World Series is all about.

Canada def. Mexico, 6-4

Canada prevailed in a drama-filled elimination game against Mexico with a 6-4 victory and will face Puerto Rico in its next contest.

All the scoring came in the first three innings, and it appeared as if Canada would cruise when a bases-clearing triple from Kai Sheck made it 5-0 in the second. However, Mexico battled back and pulled within two on a three-run long ball from Fernando Lopez but was never able to overcome the initial deficit.

Canada's bullpen combination of Cole Balkovec and Nate Colina threw 1.2 shutout innings without allowing a hit after starter Ian Huang pitched 4.1 innings.

It wasn't without drama, though, as walks loaded the bases for Mexico in the bottom of the sixth before Colina induced a lineout to secure the victory.

Southeast def. Southwest, 7-6 (nine innings)

Monday saved the most thrilling game for last in a crowded slate, as the Southeast team from Georgia needed nine innings to outlast the Southwest squad from Texas in a 7-6 victory.

Southwest was cruising with a 4-0 lead heading to the bottom of the fifth, and a two-run blast from Ryan Selvaggi highlighted the early scoring. It even answered two runs in the bottom of the fifth from Southeast with an insurance run in the top of the sixth to go up three.

However, Southeast wasn't ready to go home and received an RBI double from Tai Peete and a two-run homer from Jansen Kenty to force extra innings.

Each team scored a run in the eighth before Ben Traxler's sacrifice fly won it in the bottom of the ninth.
