Rain Washes Out 4 Games At Little League World Series

(AP) — All four games at the Little League World Series were washed out Thursday, setting up a delayed start with all 16 teams in the tournament playing on Friday. An off day is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 28, but Little League preferred to keep the tournament on schedule as much as possible through the early rounds to have flexibility in case of weather problems later on. Little League declared New Albany the 2014 Great Lakes champion in February after stripping the honor from Jackie Robinson West of Chicago for boundary manipulation and ineligible players. Little League World Series festivities began Wednesday night with the Grand Slam parade in downtown Williamsport, with former manager Jim Leyland serving as grand marshal. Former New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera is still scheduled to visit and be inducted into Little League's Hall of Excellence on Tuesday.
