Kinley Rasmus again matches Mo'ne Davis' strikeout record at the Little League World Series
Kinley Rasmus helped spark a comeback to keep Phenix City, Alabama, alive in the Little League World Series on Monday night.
Kinley Rasmus continued her impressive performance at the Little League World Series on Monday night, helping Phenix City, Alabama, secure a dramatic victory against West Chester, Pennsylvania, with a final score of 6-5. The dominant pitcher struck out six batters on the mound, tying Mo’ne Davis' record for the most strikeouts by a girl in tournament history.
Rasmus' achievement marked her second consecutive elimination win, propelling Phenix City into the next round against Tacoma, Washington. With her father, Corey Rasmus, serving as an assistant coach, and her uncle, Colby Rasmus, as a former MLB outfielder, Kinley's talent is evident as she becomes one of only two girls participating in the tournament this year among the 25 girls in the event's 79-year history.
Rasmus is one strikeout away from breaking Davis' record, which may require her to take the mound again.
