Brewers Edge Braves in Thrilling Little League Classic Showdown

A night of breakout performances fuels Milwaukee's six-game winning streak

The Milwaukee Brewers secured a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on August 22, 2026, extending their winning streak to six games and deepening the Braves' recent slump.

Jake Bauers delivered the decisive blow with a two-run homer in the third inning, while rookie left-hander Logan Henderson turned in six strong innings, striking out four batters and allowing only one run.

Cooper Pratt added a timely RBI after Martín Pérez mishandled a dribbler, contributing to three unearned runs, and William Contreras went 2-for-4, improving to 6-for-8 in the series. Joey Ortiz doubled and scored in the fourth, while Michael Harris II drove in a run for Atlanta with a double in the opening inning.

Breakout Performances Light Up the Little League Classic

The two clubs will meet again on Sunday in the Little League Classic at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where Tyler Mahle is slated to start for Atlanta and Shane Drohan will take the mound for Milwaukee after Trevor Megill was unavailable as the closer.
