Little League World Series scores: Schedule, results as Chinese Taipei, Venezuela face off Wednesday
The 2025 Little League World Series is underway. Eight teams continue their quest to win it all in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday in the annual summer tournament.

If a game extends past the seventh inning, a runner will open each inning on second base. How to watch the Little League World Series Every game through Friday will air on ESPN.
