The 2025 Little League World Series is known for high-octane baseball and Day 1 did not disappoint.
The first two games of the day each gave fans a chance to witness two elite squads in Venezuela and Nevada. Each team dominated their contests, winning by a combined score of 21-1. Panama followed suit and beat Australia, 7-2. The game also included the first home run of the tournament.
Day 2 is sure to bring similar energy with four more games on tap. To start, the Europe-Africa region representative Czechia will look to topple an international favorite in Japan. That will be followed up with an American contest between the reps from Massachusetts and South Carolina. The final two games will feature showdowns between Mexico and Chinese Taipei followed by South Dakota taking on Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania certainly has a lot to live up to after its softball counterparts ended up winning the Little League Softball World Series.
Winners from each of these games will immediately advance to their respective bracket quarterfinals, just four wins away from an LLWS title. Meanwhile, the losers will need to win seven consecutive games for a Williamsport championship.
