The Loudoun South Little League team will take on Minnesota Sunday in its second game at the 2019 Little League World Series.

With a win against the team from Coon Rapids, Minnesota, Loudoun South would advance to the semifinal of the U.S. bracket.

The team from South Riding will hope for another dominating pitching performance when it faces off against Minnesota at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

Justin Lee, Liam Thyen and Chase Obstgarten threw a combined no-hitter in Loudoun South’s 3-0 win over Rhode Island on Friday.

Minnesota held off Kentucky 2-1 in its opener.

While the winner of Sunday’s game advances, the losing squad will not be automatically eliminated.

The team rather moves to the losers bracket, where it will face either Rhode Island or Louisiana for a chance to keep its title hopes alive.

Clemson ‘s Swinney says he hasn’t heard from NCAA on tampering allegations he made against Ole Miss

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says he still hasn't heard anything back from the NCAA regarding tampering allegations he made against Ole Miss coach Pete Golding in January surrounding linebacker Luke Ferrelli. Ferrelli, who played at California last season, initially entered the transfer portal on Jan. 2 and committed to Clemson four days later. Ferrelli enrolled, began classes and attended meetings and workouts, according to Swinney. Swinney alleged during a lengthy news conference in January that Golding maintained contact with Ferrelli after the linebacker had enrolled at Clemson, even texting, “I know you’re signed, but what is your buyout?” Ferrelli reentered the portal on Jan. 22 and committed to Ole Miss. “No, I haven't heard anything,” Swinney said with a snicker during a news conference Tuesday, five days before the team's season opener at No. 11 LSU. “It was true. He was in school here for a week. That did happen. I didn't make that up."
