Thursday brought the second day of competition in this year's Little League World Series, and four more teams advanced to the next round of the upper brackets.
While Wednesday's opening slate featured three games decided by two or fewer runs, Thursday's games weren't quite as competitive. However, we haven't reached the elimination stage, so no one will be going home just yet.
Every team is guaranteed to play at least two games, and the final series of opening-round games will take place on Friday. Four teams will be looking for a 2-0 start, while four others will see their first action of the tournament.
