SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — At the Little League World Series, the question now is not whether anyone can beat the team from Greenville, North Carolina.
It’s whether anyone can get a hit.
Neither Sioux Falls, South Dakota, nor Rancho Santa Margarita, California, was able to do so against Greenville’s pitching staff in the first two rounds.
It’s the first time at Little League World Series that a U.S. team has thrown consecutive no-hitters. Japan did it in 2002.
Greenville used three pitchers in its 6-0 first round win Friday against Sioux Falls.
