The 2026 Little League Baseball World Series is entering a decisive stage as the Hamilton, Ohio, squad prepares for an elimination clash after posting a 1-1 record following a dominant 10-0 victory over Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
That win, sealed by a run‑rule mercy in just four innings, was anchored by a combined no‑hitter from Josiah Infante and Leo Feltner, with Infante also delivering a key strikeout and an RBI single that helped spark a seven‑run burst in the third inning.
Meanwhile, the Texas team from Boerne fell 4-3 to Tacoma, Washington, after a seesaw battle that saw Lawson Belden drive in a run with a single and Merritt Cude add another, only for Washington to pull ahead before Anders Paulson’s fifth‑inning RBI single tied the game.
A pivotal showdown
The winner of the Hamilton versus Boerne matchup will advance to meet Bayonne, New Jersey, in an elimination game on Tuesday, while the contest itself is slated for Monday, August 24, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
