We’ve reached the Championship Rounds of the 2022 Little League World Series with both the U.S. and International Championship games being played on Saturday.
On Thursday, Nolensville, TN beat Pearland, TX 7-1 to advance to the U.S. Championship game. There, they will try to avenge their earlier loss to Honolulu, who earned a birth in the U.S. Championship game with a 13-0 victory over Nolensville on Wednesday. Honolulu has been a wrecking ball in the 2022 Little League World Series and will certainly be tough to beat.
Curacao earned its birth in the International Final with a 2-1 win over Mexico. After losing 9-3 to Panama in their second game, Curacao has now won four games in a row but nobody has beaten Chinese Taipei so far in the 2022 Little League World Series.
Now that the championship games have been decided, these will be single-elimination games to decide who moves on to the 2022 Little League World Series championship. That means that both Chinese Taipei and Honolulu could be eliminated if they lose, despite the fact that it would be their only loss of the entire tournament.
