Who hit an RBI double and struck out 12 batters for Curaçao in the 2026 international final?
Answer
Jaymiëll Martina
Jaymiëll Martina hit an RBI double and struck out 12 batters for Curaçao in the 2026 international final.
Martina led Pariba Little League in its 4–0 victory over Joto Little League of Japan on August 29, 2026. The win gave Curaçao the international championship and advanced Pariba to the overall Little League World Series final.
His performance combined two major contributions: the RBI double supplied an important offensive play, while the 12 strikeouts highlighted Curaçao’s pitching strength. Pariba then defeated the U.S. champion, Paseo Verde Little League of Nevada, in the championship game.
The international final was Game 35 of the 2026 tournament. It should not be confused with the overall final, which was Game 38 and ended with Curaçao beating Nevada 11–2.
