Slugger Leads South Carolina as Blowouts Are the Rule in Early Days of Little League World Series
Irmo Little League dominated with strong pitching and the first grand slam by a South Carolina player in LLWS history to win 13-0 under the mercy rule, officials said.
- The Irmo Little League All-Stars from South Carolina won 13-0 against Braintree, Massachusetts, in the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Thursday afternoon.
- The decisive victory followed Irmo's regional final win over 2024 champions Lake Mary, Florida, who intentionally walked Joe Giuletti with the game on the line.
- Joe Giuletti, the team's slugger-pitcher, threw eight strikeouts over 68 pitches without allowing a hit and hit South Carolina's first grand slam in LLWS history during the game.
- Manager Dave Bogan noted that Joe consistently provides the team with an opportunity to succeed whenever he takes the mound, while Massachusetts manager Frank Fasoli expressed regret, saying he wished he had walked him, underscoring Joe's influence on the game.
- Irmo advanced to the winner's bracket and will face the Northwest/Mountain winner on Monday, while Braintree moves to the loser's bracket, reflecting their tournament standings.
