Brisbane Australia eliminates Brno Czechia from LLWS

Brisbane Australia scored three times in the bottom of the first inning and eliminated Brno Czechia from the Little League Baseball World Series with a 5-3 victory.

Czechia pitcher Mikulas Barta struggled with his control in the first inning. After loading the bases on two walks and a single, he uncorked two wild pitches to Braxton Black, scoring a pair of runs. Another run crossed the plate on a passed ball while Black was batting.

Czechia got a run back in the top of the second, but Barta walked in two additional Australian batters in the bottom half of the inning.

After cutting the deficit to 5-2 in the fifth, Barta hit a sacrifice fly to plate David Cana in the sixth inning. Czechia had runners at third and second with one out, but the game ended as Mikulas Balog was picked off of third after center fielder Averey Griffin caught a fly ball.
