Jacob Zurek scores a fifth-inning run in Pearland's Little League World Series opener, an 8-3 win over Hollidaysburg, Pa., in which he contributed two hits.SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Pearland was the most overpowering team in the United States in the final step of qualifying for the Little League Baseball World Series.
The comfort with which each team made it to this stage allows both to have all pitchers eligible going into the game.By virtue of a bye, Pearland needed only one win to get to this point. In that game, the Texas East and Southwest Regional champion overcame a two-run deficit while playing in front of a crowd of more than 18,000 cheering on Hollidaysburg, a Pennsylvania team from about 120 miles southwest of Williamsport.
Even after one suspended and one postponed game Sunday, only 14 contenders remain. The eight unbeaten teams will square off in four games Monday. Each will have another chance to make it to Saturday’s U.S. and International bracket finals if it loses.
