 •  Pig and a pool make for relaxing day off

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — The Jordan twins form quite a formidable pair at the plate.

Bryce Jordan homered and his brother, Beau, had an RBI double to back up starter Kennon Fontenot's 11-strikeout night as Lake Charles, La., advanced to the U.S. finals of the Little League World Series with a 6-1 win yesterday over Tampa, Fla.

Little League's semifinals tomorrow are now set: Waipi'o and Louisiana will square off in the U.S. final, while two unbeaten teams, Tokyo and Matamoros, Mexico, will play for the international title. Mexico moved on with a 5-2 win earlier yesterday over Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Tomorrow's winners play Sunday for the World Series crown.

Bryce Jordan homered to lead off the third inning and give Louisiana a 4-1 lead. An inning later, Beau Jordan doubled to left with two outs for a 6-1 lead.
