Little League update:

[HooptieWagon]

After 4 innings, the Taney Dragons trail Mountain Ridge 3-1. Mo'Ne Davis only lasted 2 1/3 innings, giving up 3 runs. She did get 6 strikeouts of the 7 outs she was in the game, though.

[Skink]

1. Skink struck out 6 out of 6 in the two innings...

Alotted to little league allstars. 1979 possibly?

[pinboy3niner]

2. The Skink of the infamous Little League Steroid Scandal?

[Skink]

3. Took a plea

Nuff said

[pinboy3niner]

4. If you made the All-Stars my hat's off to you

[jberryhill]

13. He was masking it with Ritalin

[pinboy3niner]

16. Don't knock it, Ritalin was a HUGH help to him...

You shoulda seen him BEFORE he went on it...

[erpowers]

5. Let Her Stay In Longer?

Should her coach have let her stay in longer? Didn't two of those three runs come off one hit?

[bigwillq]

6. Coach took her out

so she would be available to pitch later on in the tournament.

[pinboy3niner]

8. They brought in Joe Richardson, who was doing great last I saw

The ESPN channel is now on MLB, so I'm trying to get the final on the LLWS game after missing the end.

[Beaverhausen]

10. Are they still in if they lost tonight?

[bigwillq]

11. Yea, it's double elimination (nt)

[HooptieWagon]

7. She was already at 55 pitches.

Wasn't going to last much longer anyway. 85 pitches is max allowed.

[Galileo126]

9. Since Cumberland (RI) got eliminated

I kinda lost interest. (My home state is Rhode Island, btw.)

When it comes Mo'Ne... a 70 mph fast ball? ...for 13 yr old? And she does this in her 'off season'?? (Basketball, I hear, is her passion.) Too cool!

I really appreciate that SI put her on the cover. Every time I see it on the web, it (the cover) and she just makes me smile.

Kids today... very cool.

12. SPOILER WARNING: AP GAME REPORT...

Las Vegas spoils Mo'ne's night, beats Philly 8-1

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) - Dallan Cave and Brennan Holligan hit two-run homers, lefty reliever Austin Kryszczuk got out of two big jams, and Las Vegas beat Philadelphia and star pitcher Mo'ne Davis 8-1 in the Little League World Series on Wednesday night.

That puts Las Vegas in Saturday's U.S. title game and sends Philadelphia into an elimination game on Thursday night against Chicago's Jackie Robinson team. The Great Lakes champion beat Pearland, Texas 6-1 on Tuesday night in an elimination game.

Davis, the darling of the sports world with her amazing success and poise, was both masterful and ordinary on a night made short because of pitch-count rules. She allowed three runs and six hits and struck out six in 2 1-3 innings before leaving after 55 pitches. That makes her eligible to pitch again in the U.S. championship game on Saturday.

Davis played first after her stint on the mound and was switched to right field in the top of the sixth.
