Phenix City’s Little League World Series team remains in contention following a dramatic 6-5 victory over the Mid-Atlantic representative on Monday. The Alabama squad overcame a five-run deficit in extra innings to secure the win and keep their tournament hopes alive in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This marks the state’s first appearance at the event since 1999.
With elimination now a constant threat, Phenix City faces a rematch against the Northwest team from Tacoma, Washington on Tuesday afternoon. A loss would end their run, making the upcoming contest critical for advancing deeper into the bracket. The team previously fell to Washington earlier in the tournament with a 2-0 defeat.
Should Phenix City prevail on Tuesday, they would continue through the elimination bracket with additional games scheduled for Wednesday and potentially Thursday. A victory Thursday would punch their ticket to Saturday’s U.S. championship game. ESPN will broadcast all remaining games, with streaming available through ESPN+ and Fubo.
