Little League World Series 2016: Times, TV schedule, online streaming for Saturday

It is championship Saturday at the 2016 Little League World Series, with Panama and South Korea playing for the international title followed by New York and Tennessee battling for the U.S. championship.

ABC will televise both championship games on Saturday, with both available to watch online through WatchESPN.

Strong pitching figures to be the name of the game in the international championship game, with the kids from Aguadulce, Panama, taking on Little Leaguers from Seoul, South Korea. Panama is undefeated so far in Williamsport, Penn., winning their three games by a combined score of 16-6.

South Korea has been even more stingy, allowing three total runs in their four games, including three shutouts. They’ve outscored their opponents 22-3. Those three runs allowed by South Korea were in a 3-2 loss to Panama on Wednesday.

South Korea won the Little League World Series in 2014, while Panama is trying for their first international title in the event.

After the 12:30 p.m. ET international game, the U.S. championship will be played at 3:30 p.m. at Lamade Stadium. It will feature Endwell, N.Y., taking on Goodlettsville, Tenn.

The kids from New York are undefeated so far in the tournament, outscoring opponents 23-13 in the process. They’re searching for New York’s first U.S. title since Staten Island in 1964.

New York outlasted Kentucky to reach the U.S. final, 13-10, then one day later Tennessee beat Kentucky as well, 8-4, to earn their spot in Saturday’s game.

Tennessee is 4-1 in the Little League World Series, having to win three games in three days from Tuesday to Thursday after falling to New York 3-1 on Monday. The kids from Goodlettsville have outscored opponents 30-14.

Goodlettsville last won the U.S. title in 2012, then fell to a team from Tokyo in the Little League World Series Championship.

Both winners on Saturday advance to play in the 2016 Little League World Series Championship Game on Sunday afternoon.
