Iowa vs New Jersey in weather delay at Little League World Series

The Little League World Series game between Davenport Northwest from Iowa and Bayonne from New Jersey was delayed due to lightning in the area. According to Yahoo Sports, lightning was spotted within 10 miles of Lamade Stadium in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, resulting in an automatic delay. As a safety precaution, players from both teams were removed from the field, and grounds-crew workers prepared to put the tarp on the field.

At the time of the delay, Iowa was leading 2-0 in the top of the third inning. The Midwest and Metro players were immediately taken off the field.

The game was postponed, but no further information on the rescheduled start time was provided.
