AUSTRALIA ELIMINATES GUAM FROM SLLWS

Guam’s second appearance at the Senior Little League World Series in the last three years ended as it did in 2023 after Australia eliminated Guam 10-5 in South Carolina.

Guam lost its opening game 16-6 to Puerto Rico, placing them in the loser’s bracket in the double-elimination tournament under 108-degree heat.

In the elimination game, Guam got off to a quick start, scoring four runs in the top of the 1st inning highlighted by a two-run hit by Max Dirige. He had two of Guam’s six hits on the day.

That lead quickly dissipated as Australia scored seven runs in the bottom of the 1st, all with no outs off starter Gavin Alcantara.

Against Puerto Rico on Sunday, Guam fell behind 11-0 before scoring six runs in the top of the 5th to make things interesting.
