Little League World Series update

A coupla extra-frame thrillers in the international semis. It ends up with Japan taking on Curacao in the international final, the early game on Saturday. (Latin America was laying some beatdowns on people, a little surprised to see them come up with so little offense in the big game but that's baseball)

Latin America 2-4 Caribbean (7 Innings)
Japan 4-3 Asia-Pacific (10 Innings)

Warner Robbins, GA, advances to take on Lubbock, TX, in the American final, the late afternoon game on Saturday.

Southwest 8-2 Northwest
Southeast 16-6 West

I must admit I don't quite understand how all this stuff works. It looks like typical international group play but with weird twists to it, like the random cancellation of games. Here are 2 matches that won't get played:
Japan-Transatlantic
Southwest-Mid-Atlantic
