PA team still fighting in the Little League World Series

After the baseball team representing the Mid-Atlantic lost their first game in the Little League World Series in South Williamsport last week, the team has won their following two games.

The boys from Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania beat the Metro Region team from Massapequa, New York yesterday seven-to-one, advancing them closer to the tournament final.

Even though Pennsylvania team already has one loss, they aren't disqualified from competing in the final. Rules in the 75-year-old double-elimination tournament allow them to continue on and fight for placement in the championship game.

The Mid-Atlantic team can still end up in the LLWS final due to their bracket position. A previous version of this news brief stated they could only reach third place at best.
