Venezuela enters today’s game with a 3-1 record at the 2024 LLWS. After losing 2-1 to Japan in the upper bracket, Venezuela has won two elimination games in a row to keep their season alive.

The Venezuelan squad knocked off Aruba 2-1 on Tuesday, and they followed up that performance with an 11-3 victory against Mexico yesterday. Venezuela’s success has stemmed from their excellent pitching staff, so they will try to keep today’s game low-scoring.

Due to their great play in the lower bracket, Venezuela is just two wins away from the LLWS championship game.

Japan has a 2-1 record at the 2024 LLWS, and the team has only conceded a total of four runs thus far. Despite their great defensive play, Japan lost their most recent game because of their lackluster offense. The team only scored one run last game, which resulted in a 3-1 loss against Chinese Taipei.

The Japanese squad also struggled to score against Venezuela in their upper bracket match, so they will try to turn things around this afternoon.
