Final answer: Venezuela
 
 
Venezuela wins Little League World Series.
The Little Leaguers from Maracaibo, Venezuela, arrived with only one bat, but departed with the World Series title after beating Bellaire, Texas, 3-2 on Saturday. Ruben Mavarez pitched a four-hitter, struck out six and also doubled and scored as Venezuela claimed its second World Series championship in six years and fifth overall for Latin America. The road was not an easy one for Venezuela.
