Kenzie Carson Shines in Game One of Little League World Series for Team North Carolina

La Grange native Kenzie Carson is making waves once again at the Little League World Series in Greenville. Representing Team North Carolina, Carson has proven herself to be a versatile and invaluable player, contributing both at the plate and on the mound.

Team North Carolina secured their spot in the World Series by dominating the regional tournament, outscoring their opponents 51-0 in a perfect 3-0 run. This followed an equally impressive state championship performance, where they went 3-0 and outscored their opponents 36-1. In a notable highlight, Carson and her team defeated Rowan County 6-1, a squad that went on to win the Southeast Regional.

Kenzie Carson, wearing jersey number 14, has been a standout player, taking on roles as a pitcher, first baseman, and third baseman. In their opening game of the World Series last night, Team North Carolina faced off against the Asia-Pacific region and delivered a commanding 10-0 victory. Carson played a crucial role in the win, going 1-for-2 at the plate with one run and two RBIs. On the mound, she was virtually untouchable, pitching a complete game four-inning no-hitter, striking out 10 of the 12 batters she faced. No walks and finished with pitching a perfect game.

Today, Team North Carolina will continue their quest for the title as they face the Europe-Africa Region at 4:00 PM. With Carson leading the charge, the team looks poised to continue their impressive run.v
