The 2015 Little League Softball World Series was held in Portland, Oregon from August 13 to August 19, 2015. [1] Six teams from the United States and four from throughout the world competed for the Little League Softball World Champions. A controversy arose when the Snohomish, Washington team was accused of "throwing" a game so as not to have to face the Central Team from Slater/Polk City, IA. As a result, the favored Iowa team was forced to use their ace pitcher, Mikayla Houge (who later pitched four years at University of Virginia), in a tie-breaker game, where Iowa prevailed. Unfortunately, Mikayla was then unable to pitch in the semi-finals. Iowa lost that semi-finals game, effectively ending their chance at advancing to the Finals and winning the World Series. [2] [3] In a bit of irony, the Southeast team that advanced due to the thrown game ended up winning the championship.
