Overview

  • Fairfield (Connecticut) enters the U.S. final unbeaten after a 7-3 win over Las Vegas on Wednesday, highlighted by SJ Taxiltaridis’ 5 1/3 strong innings and a late homer from Tommy D’Amura.
  • Las Vegas (Nevada) earned the rematch by beating South Carolina 5-3 on Thursday on Garrett Gallegos’ three-run shot in the sixth; he remains eligible to pitch Saturday.
  • Chinese Taipei has not lost, posting two shutouts and a 7-3 defeat of Venezuela, and will face Aruba, which eliminated Venezuela 3-1 to reach its first international final.
  • Saturday’s games at Lamade Stadium are scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET (International) and 3:30 p.m. ET (U.S.), with both broadcasts on ABC.
  • The modified double-elimination phase has ended, so both bracket finals are single-elimination rematches, with Connecticut’s aggressive baserunning and ace Luca Pellegrini’s expected start drawing added focus.
