Can Lake Mary Little League keep up its early dominance at the 2026 Little League Softball World Series? After getting two days off, the Florida team takes the field again today against the girls from Clayton, North Carolina.No team in Greenville, North Carolina has scored at the rate that Lake Mary has so far. In two games shortened by the run rule, Florida has won by a combined score of 29-0 in just seven innings (that's one inning more than a regulation Little League softball game). Avery Little has yet to be put out, going 6 for 6 with a double, a triple, four runs and three RBIs all by herself. Callie Ousley and Kylie Green, daughter of Florida Gators basketball legend Taurean Green, have paced the team with four RBIs apiece. Ace Chloe Cheek will likely get the start against North Carolina; she racked up seven strikeouts in a four-inning complete game with just two hits and a walk against her in a 14-0 win over Snohomish, Washington.Watch Little League Softball World Series on FuboNorth Carolina is no slouch, either. They won two games in one day to get here, blowing out Canada 16-4 tied for the most in an LLSWS game since 2022 before squeaking past Texas 2-1. Parker Mortensen drove in the winning run with a sixth-inning double in the nightcap, while Sophie Catarozzoli and Anna-Lynn Clark had three RBIs apiece in their opener. The winner earns a ticket to the semifinal Saturday, Aug. 8, but the loser won't be out of the tournament. They'll have an elimination game Friday, Aug. 7 against the same Washington team that fell to Florida on Aug. 2.Here's what to know about today's game, including time, TV and streaming info and more:When is Lake Mary Little League World Series softball game on today?Date:Thursday, Aug. 6Start time:1 p.m. ETLocation:Stallings Stadium at Elm Street Park (Greenville, North Carolina)What channel is Florida Little League Softball World Series game on today?TV: ESPNStreaming:Fubo (free trial) | ESPN app (Unlimited plan)Lake Mary softball Little League World Series scheduleHere's a look at Lake Mary's schedule at the 2026 LLSWS.

Seattle There was a mini-skirmish in the eighth inning between the Mariners and Tigers Wednesday night.Both benches and bullpens emptied, but not much came of it other than a lot of jawing and the ejections of Mariners manager Dan Wilson and pitcher Gabe Speier.Heres what led up to it.Mariners starter Bryan Woo hit three Tigers during the course of his seven innings. In the bottom of the seventh, Tigers lefty Enmanuel De Jesus drilled Cal Raleigh with a 95-mph fastball.In the top of the eighth, Speier threw twice at Gleyber Torres. The first one missed. The second one hit him on the foot.Torres looked out at Speier as the Tigers players started streaming out of the dugout.Things separated quickly but after the umpires convened, Speier was ejected. Wilson stormed out of the dugout, complaining about the umpires not issuing a warning after the first pitch at Torres.He, too, was ejected.Chris.McCosky@detroitnews.comThis article originally appeared on The Detroit News: Benches, bullpens clear in brief skirmish between Tigers-Mariners

Red Sox World Series Champion Doesn't Believe Marcelo Mayer Was Built for Boston originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Boston Red Sox's decision to move on from youngster Marcelo Mayer definitely raised some questions.The idea that Mayer couldn't be a good player with the Red Sox seemed a bit unfair, though others have suggested he wasn't made for Boston and couldn't handle the pressure. The Red Sox were once hopeful that he was going to be one of the better players in Major League Baseball.Not that relievers aren't important, but it's somewhat telling that he got traded for a guy who isn't even going to come in and close games for the Red Sox.Reports have indicated that he's happy with being traded and is looking forward to playing with the San Francisco Giants back on the West Coast. A West Coast kid, that shouldn't come as much of a surprise to many.That also led to one former Red Sox player making an interesting comment. Jonathan Papelbon suggested that he wasn't made to play in Boston and that it was a great trade by the front office.Marcelo Mayer wasnt made to play in Boston!! Another great trade!!It almost doesn't feel fair to say that a young kid wasn't made to play in Boston, especially when factoring in the injuries Mayer has gone through throughout his career.However, Papelbon has been very open about how he feels certain players in the organization have played, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to hear him take this stance.More Red SoxLatest Red Sox news2026 Red Sox schedule2026 Red Sox rosterComplete history of Red Sox championships

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) Riley Jackson and Ally Schlegel scored and North Carolina downed the Denver Summit 2-0 on Wednesday night in the lone midweek match in the National Womens Soccer League. After a scoreless first half, Summit defender Eva Gaetino took down Erica Parkinson and the Courage (8-6-3) were awarded a penalty kick. Jackson converted to give North Carolina the lead in the 48th minute. It was Jackson's second goal of the season. Schlegel, a Colorado native, scored for North Carolina in the 81st minute when she charged at the goal and got past Summit goalkeeper Abby Smith. Courage goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan had six saves in North Carolina's second straight shutout. It was her fifth clean sheet of the season. Denver captain Lindsey Heaps, who is also captain of the U.S. national team, was a late scratch after she was included in the starting lineup. The reason for the scratch was not known. It was the first meeting between the expansion Summit (5-7-5) and the Courage. Both teams have a quick turnaround with Saturday matches. The Courage visit the Washington Spirit and the Summit host the Utah Royals. ___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
