Overview

  • St. James/Smithtown needs a victory Friday at 7 p.m. from Breen Field in Bristol, Connecticut, on ESPN to clinch its first Little League World Series berth.
  • Jeremy Katz, who struck out nine batters over 4 1⁄3 innings in Monday’s 18-0 rout, is set to face Fairfield ace Luca Pellegrini in a rare top-starter showdown.
  • After three days off, the Bulls balanced light practice with meditation, Wiffle Ball and family time to stay sharp before the win-or-go-home matchup.
  • Bull Smith’s Tavern has sold out its watch parties for the game, with more than 200 Smithtown residents gathering to cheer the team on television.
  • A Metro Region title would make St. James/Smithtown only the third Long Island team to reach Williamsport since 1978, joining Massapequa Coast’s 2022 run.
