I haven't been able to watch all of the games, there have been a ton of weather delays down in North Carolina over the past few days. Despite that, they have been able to get about eight games in since things started up on August 2nd. It's so crazy to think that we are already in August. I just can't even wrap my head around it. Similar to the college softball tournament, it looks like the LLSWS is happening in a double elimination format with a total of 22 games to determine the champion. Game 1 saw Northwest facing off against Southeast with the team from Lake Mary Florida hammering the team from Snohomish Washington into the consolation bracket. Game 2 was a bit closer with Asia-Pacific taking down Mid-Atlantic 4 to 1. That moved the team from Toms River New Jersey down to the lower bracket. Game 3 was another rout, with the Central team from Owensboro Kentucky smashing the West team from Like Oak California 11 to 1. Things didn't let up in the 4th game with the North Carolina representatives bludgeoning Canada 16 to 4. Game 5 pitted Latin America against the winning Asia-Pacific team from game 2, only to see them fall to Latin America 7 to 2. In game 6 the poor Europe-Africa team faced the Southeast team that shut out the Northwest and Europe-Africa ended up falling 15 to 0. That team from Florida is looking really solid right now. Finally, in game 7, North Carolina took down the Southwest region team from Helotes Texas 2 to 1, and in game 8 the Central team beat New England 15 to 1. That Central Team and Southeast clearly have lot of power in the bats of those ten to twelve year old ladies. It's crazy to watch them play and think about how young they are, but also how talented they are. Some of the pitches I was seeing last night were college level. It's insane! Game 9 will see the Northwest face the Southwest in a win or go home showdown while game 10 sees Mid-Atlantic and New England in a similar situation. Then we have game 11 where the West and Asia-Pacific will play for their right to stay in the tournament while game 12 has Canada facing Europe-Africa in an elimination game.
