Nolensville Little League - How They Got Here
Nolensville will represent the Southeast region. They will be joined by ten other teams from the US and 10 from abroad. This will be Nolensville's third straight appearance and the first time ever that a team has made it into the LLWS three times in a row.
The team beat their rivals from Lake Mary, Florida, 4 runs to 1 to advance into the Little League World Series following a weather delay of over four hours. The only other team securing a spot as of August 9 was Needville Little League; Needville, Texas in the Southwest Division.
Nolensville won their first game on Thursday only to lose to Georgia two days later. This placed them into the elimination bracket.
They would go on to defeat South Carolina, Virginia and Georgia in a rematch Monday.
Also of note, pitcher Stella Weaver from Legacy Middle School becomes the first female pitcher in Nolensville history to be part of their Little League team. She's also a key reason why they made it this far.
Weaver hopes to outperform Mo'ne Davis. She captivated the world in the LLWS nine years ago.
The 12-year-old Stella towers over most of her competition and is the tallest of her teammates.
"She's 5 foot 8. She's the tallest person on our team, and she's the fastest person on our team," head coach Randy Huth told News Channel 5 Nashville. "When you guys see her on the mound, there are going to be a lot of people taking note."
"Sometimes like boys will come up to me and say, 'Are you a girl?' I'm like, 'yea, you're playing against a girl,'" Stella told News Channel 5 Nashville.
Nolensville entered last year's final against Hawaii as a +650 underdog. Hawaii would go on to play Curacao in the final, beating that Caribbean nation 13-3 to win it all.
