e busiest day of the 2016 Little League World Series is here, with five games on tap from both Volunteer Stadium and Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, Penn. on Day 5 of the double-elimination tournament.
The ESPN family of networks is televising the 2016 Little League World Series, with all five games on Monday televised on ESPN proper. All games can be streamed online viaWatchESPN.
The first game on Monday is the first of two consolation games between the kids from Emilia, Italy, representing Europe-Africa, and Bend, Oregon, representing the U.S. Northwest, both losing their first two games in the tournament. The other two 0-2 teams — Japan and San Antonio — will play in the second consolation game on Tuesday.
The other four games on Monday are the games that were supposed to be played on Sunday but were washed away by rain.
The final four games on Monday feature the eight first-round winners, with Monday’s winners advancing to play Wednesday for a spot in either the United States or International championship.
The Great Lakes kids from Bowling Green, Kentucky, scored 11 in their opening-round victory and face on Monday a Midwest team from Johnston, Iowa, that allowed only one run in its first game.
Canada scored 10 in delivering Japan their first opening-round loss in 51 years, advancing to play the kids from Seoul, South Korea, representing Asia-Pacific.
Because this is a double-elimination tournament, a loss for these teams on Monday doesn’t mean these teams are done. The four losing teams on Monday will play again on Tuesday in elimination games against the four winning teams from Saturday’s action.
