The Little League World Series 2014 is live on ESPN and streaming from WatchESPN and the coverage continues from Williamsport this week for the United States championship and the World Finals as the teams meet for the LLWS overall championship and coverage is on ESPN.com and on TV from ESPN.
The next matchup is at 7:30 pm ET on Wednesday and sensation Mo'ne Davis will be pitching for the Philadelphia Taney Dragons as Pennsylvania and Nevada face off in the United States bracket and this will be for the US Championship game, as Illinois is already through and this game will decide who plays against that team to get to the LLWS finals.
Davis will take the mound again and she has been fantastic as a 13 year old, as she went six innings and had no runs, no walks, eight strikeouts and two hits in her game at the LLWS regional round. Her team the Philadelphia Taney Dragons has the chance to move on to the US champ game and that would be against Illinois if they can win against Nevada.
Texas and Venezuela are out of the Little League World Series now after losing and Mexico is through along with Illinois and the US game tonight will decide who plays next. The other side is the international group and that had South Korea and Japan matching up earlier in the day to see who will play against Mexico and the winners of that will move onto the Little League World Series championship.
Illinois now has just one more game to go to get to the championship and they may have to face off against Davis and her team if they can advance. The matchup between her team and the Las Vegas side will decide that and the Illinois team played well as they took down Texas, as their pitcher allowed just one hit in the 6-1 win. The game on Wednesday is on ESPN and could see some more history with Davis on the mound.
Davis has been a sensation and now she is going worldwide, as she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated this past week. Davis has been fantastic during her run in the tournament and she has plenty of attention. The other games on the day yesterday had Tennessee taking on Canada and Mexico winning over Venezuela.
