Taney advanced to an elimination game of the American side of the Little League World Series, but dropped a 6-5 decision to eventual USA champs from Chicago's Jackie Robinson West squad on Thursday night. The Dragons advanced further in the tournament than any other Philadelphia team in Little League history.
