It’s time for America to choose sides as the two feel good stories of the Little League World Series face-off in a win or go home matchup. Mo’Ne Davis and Pennsylvania take on Pierce Jones and Illinois.
Both teams had their sole losses come at the hands of Nevada and now these two teams will play for the right to get one more crack at the Las Vegas team. Illinois manager Darold Butler said that this is a great opportunity for his team and the community.
“It's a great feeling to be one of the last three teams left. We're not feeling any pressure. The kids are motivated, just trying to be the No. 1 team in the United States. ... Honestly, I think we're the best team here. ...
Even though we lost, it was a wakeup call. Our kids would love to see that team again. We would play much harder. It would be a totally different situation.”
These two teams will face off in primetime and the winner will go on to play Nevada once again in the American Championship game on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
