Great Lakes took full control early and never let it go, beating New England 10-0 in Game 14 of the 2026 Little League Baseball World Series at Lamade Stadium on August 19.
The result was settled by a seven-run third inning, which turned the game into a runaway long before the final out. Josiah Infante was right in the middle of it for Great Lakes, throwing 2.2 innings with four strikeouts and also driving in a run.
Seven runs in the third broke the game open
In a tournament where momentum can change quickly, Great Lakes made sure this one never had a chance to swing back. The seven-run third inning gave them complete command, and New England could not recover from that burst.
That kind of inning changes the feel of a Little League game straight away. Once Great Lakes put distance between themselves and New England, the rest became about finishing the job cleanly.
Infante delivered on the mound and at the plate
Josiah Infante gave Great Lakes exactly the kind of all-around contribution that stands out in a World Series game. His 2.2 innings on the mound came with four strikeouts, and he also added an RBI.
That two-way impact helped underline why Great Lakes were so comfortable throughout the contest. When a pitcher can also contribute offensively, it gives a team another useful edge in a game that was already moving in their favor.
The 2026 Little League Baseball World Series began on August 19 and is scheduled to end on August 30, but Game 14 was decided quickly. Great Lakes left Lamade Stadium with a commanding shutout, while New England were left to regroup after a difficult afternoon.
