The National Youth Baseball Championships are in full swing again today as all 16 teams are in action. The 12U tournament gets underway today and the 10U teams are back in action. Each team will play two games today to round out pool play today and tomorrow.
In the 10U games yesterday, we saw several lopsided scores. The Jaguars from the NABF knocked off the Marshals of Super Series, 11-4. The USSSA team from Tomateros de California cruised to a 10-0 win over the Dixie representatives from McComb, Miss. The AAU squad put up 14 runs to the Brooklyn Bonnies (AABC) 1 and the PONY champs Tamiami Playmakers defeated the Babe Ruth League champs from Kenner, La., 14-1.
Once again, you can watch every game LIVEall the way through the weekend until two champions are crowned:

Of interest in this tournament is that former MLB standout Chet Lemon is coachingBOTH the 10U and 12U teams! Meaning he will be coaching four games in a row today. Just following him around today will be exhausting!
Note there is a slight rain delay in Memphis so first pitch times have been postponed until noon ET.
More than 100,000 teams from across the nation have competed for the chance to play in this tournament. The 10U semis will take place tomorrow morning with the championship game going off at 7 p.m. ET. The 12U semis and title game will take place on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Back in Williamsport...
The Little League World Series will also reach its feverish climax and conclusion this weekend with lots of great action to watch!
Last night on ESPN, teams from Japan and Mexico qualified for Saturday's International Championship (12:30 p.m. ET, ABC). The U.S. semifinals also wrapped up last night as the United States Championship will also be played tomorrow immediately following the international game. The undefeated team from Waipahu, HI will match up with the boys of Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Then tune in on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET to see the Little League World Series Championship Game between the U.S. and international champions.
Of course, we at weplay would like to wish Coach Timoand the Waipio LL boys the best of luck! We can't wait to see your pictures on weplay when you get home!!
