The 2025 Little League World Series (LLWS) is reaching its climax! Four teams are left standing, battling for the coveted championship title in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. After an exciting tournament, a new champion will be crowned, as last year's winner, Lake Mary, Florida, was eliminated early on.
International Championship Showdown: Chinese Taipei vs. Aruba
Chinese Taipei, boasting a perfect 3-0 record, will face off against Aruba in the International Championship game. Aruba, with a 4-1 record after navigating two elimination games, is looking to continue their winning streak. Chinese Taipei secured their spot with a 7-3 victory over Venezuela, giving them ample rest before the championship.
Aruba, however, had a tougher road, playing back-to-back elimination games, defeating Japan and then Venezuela. Can they overcome fatigue and challenge the dominant Chinese Taipei team?
U.S. Championship: Connecticut vs. Nevada - A Rematch!
The U.S. Championship will be a rematch between Connecticut and Nevada. Connecticut previously defeated Nevada to secure their spot in the championship game. Nevada earned their place by defeating South Carolina. Will Nevada be able to avenge their earlier loss, or will Connecticut continue their winning ways?
