The Little League World Series (LLWS) in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, is set for a packed day of baseball on Friday (August 21) after rain washed out all games scheduled for Thursday (August 20). Fans can look forward to eight games today, starting at 9 a.m. Eastern Time, with Australia facing Mexico and the Great Lakes region taking on the Mountain region.
Due to the inclement weather, Little League officials decided to postpone Thursday's games and move them to Friday, creating a full day of baseball action. The decision was made to ensure the best playing conditions for all teams involved. However, the first two games of the day will not be broadcast on ESPN, according to a statement from Little League International.
USA TODAY Sports will provide game-by-game coverage of the events. As the day progresses, fans can expect updates on the games and weather conditions.
The remaining games of the day, including matchups like Japan versus Curacao and West versus Midwest, will be available on various ESPN channels. The double elimination tournament will continue until the championship game on Sunday, August 30.
For those unable to attend in person, Yahoo Sports reports that the games will also be available for streaming on platforms like fubo, offering fans multiple ways to catch the action.
