Pennsylvania and Oklahoma semifinal underway
The second Little League Softball World Series semifinal is underway between Pennsylvania and Oklahoma, with the winner advancing to Sunday’s championship game vs. Indiana.
Indiana defeats North Carolina; advances to LLSWS title game
Indiana becomes the first team to punch its ticket to the Little League Softball World Series championship game on Sunday thanks to a 2-0 extra-inning win over North Carolina. Scarlet Renn and Grace Fiore brought in both runs for Indiana on the afternoon.
Indiana will now await to learn its opponent for Sunday’s title game, as it will be either Pennsylvania or Oklahoma. An important thing to note for Indiana going into tomorrow’s game is the availability of their ace Briley Mercer, who threw just five innings in Saturday’s semifinal game to ensure her availability for the title game.
While for North Carolina, it will play in Sunday’s third-place consolation game.
Indiana extends lead in extra innings
Indiana tacks on an insurance run in the top of the seventh with another infield RBI groundout, this time it was Grace Fiore bringing in Swayer Abel from third.
Indiana breaks tie in extra innings
Indiana strikes first in this LLSWS semifinal matchup, as Scarlet Renn brings Alyvia Kolish home from third on an RBI infield groundout. Starting the inning with Kolish on second because of international extra-innings rules, Swayer Abel beat out the throw at first from North Carolina’s Makayla Montgomery on a perfectly executed bunt to get the rally going for Indiana.
It’s 1-0 Indiana with Abel at third base with one out.
North Carolina-Indiana heading to extra innings
Six innings won’t be enough to determine a winner between North Carolina and Indiana, as the LLSWS semifinal matchup heads to extra innings. Both teams’ starters, Makayla Montgomery and Briley Mercer, have once again been magnificent.
Onto the seventh inning we go, where runs are at a premium and there is a trip to the LLSWS championship on the line.
Makayla Montgomery gets out of fifth inning jab

Kennedy Nickles breaks up Makayla Montgomery’s no-hitter
Indiana’s Kennedy Nickles puts an end to North Carolina’s Makayla Montgomery’s no-hitter campaign with a lead-off single into right field. It is the first hit of the game for Indiana, and just the fourth combined overall.
North Carolina leaves two runners on base in fourth
The two-out rally comes up short for North Carolina in the bottom of the fourth, as Indiana pitcher Briley Mercer gets North Carolina’s Skylar Powers to chase a changeup for the third out of the inning.
It remains 0-0 going into the top of the fifth inning in this Little League Softball World Series semifinal matchup.
Makayla Montgomery dealing for North Carolina
After giving up a lead-off walk, Makayla Montgomery retired the side to get out of the fourth inning. Montgomery got the first two outs of the inning with strikeouts before getting some help from her fielders, as Avery Cash made an impressive throw to first to retire an Indiana hitter.
It remains scoreless between North Carolina and Indiana going into the bottom of the fourth.
Indiana strands runner in scoring position
Threatening with the first run of the game, Indiana can’t bring Izzy Campbell home from third in the top of the third as Kylie Ramsey flies out to center for the third out. Nice job by North Carolina’s Makayla Montgomery to get out of the inning.
