baseball player is Hank Aaron Cameron Lake Mary Florida Jonathan Anderson is the manager and he's got a couple of very very good assistants with him in Kyle Bono and Paul bio this is an interesting one Liam Sparks on the Mount of course you got a game on Saturday how many pitches do you let these guys go if you need them Anderson leads off son of the manager Feliciano a big D at the plate so is roosen and they're fairly deep we've seen Norton and Alexander come through during the course of this summer and you're going to need them all we saw that early earlier today bottom of the order helped out we just talked about at the top X it's the last six guys in this order that really helped out last night yeah they got to get guys on base if they turn over the order you got guys that have produced in a major way with the power bats just a gorgeous time of night little after 7 in the East sun is about to set lights on here at lomy and the United States Championship sitting there in the balance an opportunity to take on Bernie Texas one thing these two teams have in common they both lost to Bernie Texas Nevada was beaten by a score of 5-2 Florida they lost to Texas 4 to one so three-run deficits by both [Music] Texas M Mary will lead things off Nevada the home team Anderson the second basem two for 10 he steps in and we are set to play as leam Sparks has the ball to pitch oh first one a little high right out of the glove of Soraka and Liam is a big boy man he is 6 feet tall out there and we'll see how his team deals with the height and the velocity throwing over the top and in there for a strike yeah that's going to be the focus for him right is the command he hasn't pitched here in the Little League World Series so calming the nerves a little bit maybe a little anxious but just staying in the strike zone is going to be be a focus for him yep couple of innings at the Regionals that was the last time he's been on the bump and he s went High two balls in the strike Anderson Feliciano roosen each of them with two hits here in [Music] Williamsport three balls and a strike the other difference between these two teams X is that Florida is playing its sixth game you know you get into that losers bracket this is only the fourth game for [Music] Nevada I guarantee you ask any of these kids would you rather win or would you rather play I think the answer is play as long as you end up winning the game you want to get in as many games as you can and that's a lead off [Applause] walk yeah we heard James Feliciano talking about we like playing a lot of games right but the focus is making sure you're doing the details today specifically so you can get to that next game as he comes to that terrific hit here JJ Feliciano we've had a chance to meet him talk to his family what You' call an old soul loves to hang out with his grandmother watch the prices right and he is a phenomenal Short Stop 56 153 speed pitch misses it's one ball no strikes watches The Price is Right and plays card games with his grandmother about three to four times a week solid citizen oh Willam Sparks trying to find the command early here after a walk now falls behind Feliciano two balls no strikes that's in there for a strike the walk to Anderson was only their third walk of the [Music] tournament generally play clean in the field and they do not give free passes but he tried to slow that down and he missed badly it's three and one 31 really see him take something off of that to try to get it in there and he pulled it ball that's back to back walks they've walked as many tonight in two batters as they have all World Series long we take a look at the road to Williamsport brought to you by Baymont by Windam 4-0 in the Southeast region and they beat Tennessee a good Tennessee team 11 nothing in the championship game four- one here in williamsp all games have been fairly close five runs or less and you see the numbers that Feliciano has put up on the mound speaking of the mound that's where we got a big meeting going on okay Rel these point on in front right find the groove right and then start diving it out okay dude you got this okay we know what you're capable of okay no one has seen you right but we all know know what you're about let your defense work all these guys got your back all right have confidence okay who cares dude have fun okay throw the ball be you do you all right got it give your wristband to your coach oh back hustle back Parker very calming presence that Jeffrey Soraka has the assistant coach there in a way he presented that right yeah I think that's exactly what you're looking for trying to calm down the nerves a a little bit just get back to playing catch with the catcher don't feel like you have to do anything extra right now Roos is the three-hole hitter b ball is down roosen two for 10 he hit a long home run down the left field [Applause] line 11 pitches Florida has yet to swing the back oh what do you see yeah I just see him kind of pulling off right he's trying to find the delivery trying to find the release point and even with some of the off speed you mentioned it slowing down the arm a little bit he's got to continue to just focus on playing catch and using the middle of the Zone the misses have all been [Music] [Applause] outside they haven't swung and this will be the 12th pitch there you go a little better needs to see a sing a swing and a miss needs an out need something positive to happen ifam Sparks out there not there same pull three consecutive walks and trouble already for Nevada the question is how long do you leave him out there [Applause] [Music] right hey you all right look a lot of gain left a lot of game left take a deep breath right take a deep breath you're going to still hit we're all right we're going to go to Russ here okay listen everyone knows the situation B is loaded nobody out okay we got to have strikes all right good job dude look nothing to be ashamed of right you tried your best that's all anyone's ever asked you to do okay let's go hustle in Coach Mark's coming out it's now on Russell McGee it's a ground ball right back to you four to one

want to get behind the winner moves on the loser goes home and it's good a home run hitter as we have in this Little League field Landon Bono is going to come up Russell McGee knew that there was a Chancey pitch it's a little different when you're coming into the first and the bases are loaded right yeah that's the thing is now now it's a situation where you go out there you try to change the course of the momentum right go out there and attack hitters can't worry so much about getting hit right now you got to let the defense work Corners will be in Middle is back and mono participated in the middle League Home Run Derby last year and finished third he's doing it again this year and boy would he like to hit one here with the Bas is loaded McGee's first pitch he get gets a strike called anded Bono two for seven here he's been walked four times he gets the strike two call here we go and an on base percentage for Landon over 61% of the time behind 02 ball chase the G looks compos given the situation he inherited and that is ripped into right field Anderson is in Fano being waved now he pulls back and he will be safe at third base halfway down it's one nothing thanks to a Bono single this quality two- strike hitting right there staying back on a pitch and being able to get that Barrel out in front grip something the right field stop stop stop stop you see get a stop over there at third base making sure you don't run into an out at home the first swing of the night for a Florida batter came on the 19th pitch of the game strike one big Demarcus [Applause] nasis oh another good one he's in a pretty good Groove mcky Bono did a good job to put that ball in play they Stay Loaded it's one nothing and he sends one to right that's a fair ball from meis both Runners Feliciano roosen are in three nothing on a single by DJ miasis another good job of being able to hit behind in the [Applause] count love that he took the pitch exactly where was outer half didn't try to pull it you see him maybe a ball off the plate right there head down on the baseball and hit something hard enough and deep enough to where you get couple Runners to cross the plate and a nice job of base running by Bono making sure he got himself first to third the Asus six runs batted in in the tournament Jacob bio next up still nobody out gets ahead again what a start for Lake Barry Florida a game away from the championship game they lead three [Applause] zip and beo hits it in the hole and through Bono is in the Hit Parade continues for Lake Mary Florida they got a four spot and still nobody out in the [Music] first they see the Lake Mary Florida now being aggressive in the strike zone they know they're going to see more strikes get another slider over the heart of the plate and hits it hard enough to get himself nice RBI out there to left coach time my shoe please we got to get new laces on the shoes we probably had six delays earlier in the game a little double knot there from Jonathan Anderson [Applause] how about three walks and then all sorts of action with the bats single two RB eyes in a single another one from bio four runs in three [Music] hits oh that on its heels they haven't gotten it out they haven't obviously come to the plate Liam morrisy ahead 2 and0 just missed a home run last night [Applause] two balls and a strike 58123 and just outside of Orlando you got a chance to get on a few roller coasters X not me two and two not a roller coaster guy I'm not a big roller coaster guy I'm not a Heights guy like keep me low to the ground on the ground yes so airplane travel not a thing even though we got to do it a lot we got to do it a lot there's a strike out out good job by Russell McGee and it's the first out that brings up the pitching hero from last night Lise call as you take a look at the swing and miss the change of speed right there being able to catch a guy out in front keep him off bounce hallow up the middle Erikson one two what a play by the short stop all in one motion field steps and fires and they live with the damage Erikson moving over to the short stop position recognizing this ball up the middle stays with it ranging to his

Norton and look Mada gets warm out there they acknowledge it hard to practice but this is a team that has managed to do it sometimes twice a day under the watchful eye of Adam Johnson who is the head coach 15 mil from downtown home to the Las Vegas Raiders headquarters Harper stock Crosby and these kids let's meet [Music] them my name is gunar bronik and my favorite team is the Minnesota Twins my name is Luke glance and my favorite player is Mike Trout my name is gunar godan and my favorite player is Chad godan my name is Caleb Gomez and my favorite team is the Philadelphia Phillies my name is Jimmy fos and my favorite athlete is Justin Jefferson my name is Parker Saka and my favorite baseball player is ichido Suzuki my name is no Lalo and my favorite MLB team is the Los Angeles Dodgers my name is Dominic Leno and my favorite food is lamb chops my name is Russell McGee and my favorite baseball player is Josh jum Jr my name is why ericon and my favorite athlete is Kobe Bryant my name is lie Sparks and my favorite actor is Kevin Hart My Name is Oliver Johnson and my favorite MLB player is Patrick Bailey well Adam Johnson is missing his regular job which is the assistant equipment manager for the Las Vegas Raiders they've obviously given him there gra we'll hear from some of the players and the coach a little bit later on what it means but Adam's got a very calm demeanor in fact you saw the assistant coach come out you know they delivered the right messages and this is the batting order Erikson Johnson the big hitters there but we've seen ponic come through with a couple of hits at the bottom of the order as well hey you feel like that first inning obviously you gave up four but you can't feel like you got to get them all back at once right continue to have good at bats like you've done for all of this tournament here in Williams for it one at a [Applause] time Norton will be on the mound he gave us the pitching demonstration with Julie before the game what he got ton quo going turn the back lift the leg maybe the opposite side of a little D TR little dra Trin see if the lucky chain and the 4run lead helps out Caleb Gomez leads things off looking for hit number one in Williamsport and swings and misses thinking that Deal World Florida would like to see him throw 35 pitches and then maybe take him out so he'd be eligible to pitch on Saturday the four nothing lead helps in that department a lot but we lead things off with a shot to left field Caleb Gomez aboard not to great start that's his first hit here in Williamsport looking for a little momentum early in this one you get the lead off hitter getting the pitch up in the zone get the barrel up there Caleb nice job being able to get the hands inside head down on the baseball he's on base for his team early in this one he's a guy of CH Chism of the Yankees kind of adopted and he my younger brother I'm going to take care of him for a long time Russ McGee hey KCK one out right here let's go have a day got we trying to massage go to sleep or we trying to lock in for a baseball game what do we got getting braided up what are we doing late but he is able to deliver hooks it down the line McGee heading second Nevada with an answer early here second and third on a double from Russ McGee oy did he turn that fast ball around oh yeah that's pitch coming on the inner half of the plate maybe a ball inside nice job of being able to like you said get that Barrel loud and drive something down that left field line but got to love the base running to Caleb Gomez going from first to Third and then R following the throw gets himself to second base Wyatt Erikson 346 couple of doubles three runs patted in this is a team that makes contact three4 of the time they swing there you go a little off speed pitch mixed in there how about that 76% of the time they make contact I think that's you know it's something that's not necessarily a priority today with the young kids exactly right but it's good to see for sure and good things happen when you do [Music] absolutely so a slow curveball and then a little fast ball and it's 0 and two and here's the time you want to just make contact here right maybe a ground ball you got the infield back just trying to push one across right here by playing the [Music] game swing fouls it back Wy picks to no hitter in the state championship and the Regional Championship he doesn't really like to talk about either of those little superstitious let's get this thing all over and then I'm sure he'll be talking a lot about it he mention the infield back up the middle even with the bag at third is [Music] roosen another foul ball good battle right now between Ericson at 55 12 25 and Norton on the mound Norton you feel like you can expand the Zone a little bit here see if you can get a swing and Miss outside of the Zone maybe an off speed pitch in the dirt 02 he got hit right in the back the shoulder area to load the bases up and that one hurt a little bit got him in a soft spot up [Applause] there good news if there's any it was coming in very softly it looked like a breaking pitch it just didn't move yeah definitely a breaking pitch but did hits a specific spot it's going to hurt no matter what you can tell he's feeling that one so he will step on First and look who's coming up big Oliver Johnson son of the manager he's staring out there and a basis loaded situation exactly what we saw from Florida do they have an answer starts him off with a slow one in there for a strike he really impressive how he his delivery he kind of looks back and is able to focus back in on the strike zone you mentioned he throws a lot of strikes really impressed how he does [Music] that one strike here we go Oliver Johnson is 59 he weighs 180 lbs he's the leader will give theed leaches and now they hope hope he can speak with the bat late on that he fouled it off the screen to the right it's 0 and two [Music] [Applause] couldn't hold on to it right in and out of the glove [Applause] abono there is Dad Adam he of course the manager Molly d ma his brother seven says he's very very close with his brother who is seven years young and watching this one o and two to olly Johnson loaded nobody out [Applause] one thing as a hitter is you know you're going to be aggressive even with two strikes cuz Norton likes to throw the ball over the plate with two strikes he's not really messing around with the hitters trying to put them away be weak contact or a swinging Miss play so you still got to be ready with two strikes don't expect him to go off the plate good battle again going here the pitch count goes up that's four fouls to 23 at the the plate due to the Plate's first name basis with Derek Carr Charles Woodson dropping names Marshon Lynch the dad that works for the Raiders you meet a few people seven foul balls already Quick Pitch there it's a little high it's one ball two strikes that didn't [Music] work but I'm okay with that pitch just because you know you see the hitter and Johnson being aggressive with two strikes if you can try to get something to where he offers outside of the Zone might get that swinging Miss and this one to shallow left it's going to drop off the bat Gomez in McGee breaks on he gets back how about Oliver Johnson a check swing single and it's four to one and they Stay Loaded good things happen when you keep your bat path through the zone for a long period of time you see doesn't even break his hands right there as far as doesn't roll over anything still has a chance with they going out there the left field and pl that first run on the board for your squad teams this team's here this long for a reason they're here to play too okay so now let's start to hit our spots we'll get a double play we'll get out of this okay just keep doing what you're doing you're doing great you're doing exactly what we're supposed to do okay here we go we ready we ready R it hey look at me you ready [Applause] y he is throwing strikes they've just hit him single double there was that hit batter to Erikson which is a tough one and then the single from Johnson now it's Noah Lalo left-handed hitting first I should say left-handed hitting had an extra hitter today the Asis is in first strike [Applause] one markable number of strikes he's thrown 177 pitches X and 15 of them have been for strikes and here's an 01 and that one is to third underneath the glove of roosen one run is in and they will hold him there roosen had a chance but it's snuck underneath the glove it's four- two roosen did a good job of seing it off the barrels ranging himself over to the left side but just like picked up the glove a little too early on that one here comes the terrific catcher for this team Parker Soraka little guy squaring to bun and he pulls it back and swings at it sends this one to center field Morris he makes the play here's the tag here's the runner he is safe at the plate Wyatt Erikson sacrifice fly and just like that it's 4 [Applause] three Saka showing bunt pulling it back being able to slash and hitting something to the Outfield I love the simple approach just looking to get some something to the Outfield and you know you have an opportunity for a sacrifice fly if it's deep enough we thought we'd see offense I'm not sure we had seven runs in the first [Applause] inning strike to Dominic loo he's like a pitching machine out there he just throws strikes the one hit batter really the aberration got a big double play to end the top of the first can Florida do the same strike there on a [Applause] swing well game on with the answer from Nevada here in the bottom of the first this one to morisy makes the play and every Runner goes back to the bag well hit by loo but morisy is out there and it's a no fly zone he covers a lot of [Applause] [Music] ground that brings up Jimmy Foss he's had a good series three hits Oliver Johnson's out there at second base strike number one you may as if they not swing it just call it a strike [Music] and that's all you can ask him to do is keep throwing strikes right keep attacking his zone three balls 20 strikes you just don't see that at this age off speed to the short stop backs up clips and Feliciano will get the force out at second to Anderson here we go we played one we got seven runs on seven [Applause] hits there is nothing like a Wendy's Frosty it's cool it's creamy it's only a dollar right now wait what the one and only Frosty is a buck got to be Wendy's I got it I got it discover

Chisum and I mean Russell's living his best life here in the last two weeks he comes in on the mound to settle the team he has the double for the rally he's best friends with Jess Chisum I mean how do you even describe this to friends and family you can't you just have to be here this is one of those amazing experiences that I tell people um until he makes it to the majors he probably will never experience something so amazing in his life you know having his best best time I love that you said until he makes it to the maor not if luron what what has Russell told you about his week how excited has he been like a kid in the candy store just so happy you know he's living out a dream you get to come play in the World Series see your favorite player get to sit with him at game like I said we're we're a very expensive chain and you know and now look at you yeah gave it back for sure but look at him now he's out here cool is a fan Papa Ron you give and all the questioners they talk about the speech that you give to the team right before they take the field that is a tradition so I know you met with them before the game Papa Ron what did you say to them before the game basically told the kids uh after yesterday's loss you have two choices you can go the high road and and and say I'm going to get better or you can sit and cry and say I'm not going to get better these kids decided to take the high road and they are great Battlers and it's a pleasure watching them and you're seeing it aren't you in its full form right here in this second inning enjoy the game so fun that you guys have had such a great time thank you yeah thank you Julie what a testament it is to This Little League World Series experience yeah when it starts out you have no clue I mean X you played ball as a little guy you have no idea like think about where he is his experience that he's had the people he's met and look he he's lucky he's fortunate this clearly doesn't happen to everybody that's why you have to soak it in man just because these types of experiences don't come every day and really learn how special the moment is Right living in the moment we talk a lot about that and if he can do that right here and just soak this in man he'll have this for a lifetime and I love what paparan said too he made the emphasis that everything and every loss that you have is an opportunity for growth and I think if these kids grasp that early on they'll be set up for a lifetime no doubt great point and a great speech on the ground to Second slowly hit Panic will go to short for one that's all they're going to get that ball was hit very slowly so they get the force out at second base [Applause] and it'll bring up the last hitter in the order this is Hunter Alexander nice job of making sure you just get one right the focus is get one before two don't try to be too quick [Music] there looks like Adam Johnson came out just to ask the second base umpire if perhaps there was some interference on the runner to disrupt Erikson to no avail two down Alexander trying to put a goose egg up on the board is McGee there's a punt right back to him and that is a quick inning for Russell McGee somewhere jazz is watching we know it what do we got nine pitches to get through it the game settles down a little bit 43 bottom two coming up this is the SEC on ABC and this is how it's done son you got to keep

left off and just just threw strikes the aces a big swing he had a single and knocked in a couple in the first [Applause] [Music] inning and he hits another one hard on the line right at the center fielder Caleb Gomez you going to be on your toes tonight yeah B wait Julie what do you got I got Caleb Gomez's mom and Janette how about that catch and how about Caleb in that first inning as a leadoff hitter getting him going it was so good he's been struggling all tournament but this helped the boys and lifted him up as well you uh you helped Caleb start a podcast called pass the ball tell me about that cuz I know that we've been talking a lot about it on air but we haven't given the backstory to it the backstory is that um C struggled um mentally on the field and in school and I figured he needed somewhere to talk about it and I other kids also struggle mentally on the field when either they struck out Miss the play and there's really no safe space for them to talk about it so I created pass the ball for Caleb and all these young athletes out here um 70% of student athletes quit by the age of 13 because of anxiety stress of school and sports so this is a place where they can come and talk about it what's the response been the response have been really good actually um we have three episodes out I believe our Instagram um has been picking up a lot of followers and if anybody wants their youth athlete or the athlete themselves want to come on the podcast just follow us on Instagram and give us a message and we would like to have anybody on there I love that you're doing this you are a psychiatric case worker you know best that these boys and girls need to talk about it absolutely I'm I'm actually finishing my masters in social work in November and I also created a nonprofit for these boys or athletes not even just boys but girls too um I deal with kids um children's mental health of course and I see the struggle and there's nothing for student athletes um to talk about anything yay mom for getting Caleb to start it and doing what you're doing and enjoy this week thanks so much for your time really good Julie really important anginette Gomez and this one to Center again and there you go you do an interview with Mom Caleb has a couple of outs in the inning and again one more time pass the ball podcast for anybody interested just a terrific message from Mom yeah really cool right in this day and age where we make mental health more of a priority often times we think about it with professional athletes but what about those young athletes right the anxiety the nervousness all the things that they go through on a day-to-day basis it's just is important for them as well that's awesome this is Luis KO he grounded into that double play to end it and man how about the center fielders tonight they have made five putouts on balls that have all been hit hard and on a line and that that doesn't even count that Dominic loo home run robbing catch in right field that's going to go towards the screen and get off of it and center fielders will tell you too sometimes those are the toughest balls those ones right at you cuz you have to judge whether or not it's hit with more Back Spin more Top Spin is it going to carry a little bit is it hit off the end of the bat center fielders sometimes don't get enough credit for their reads and that's why it's so important during batting practice to be able to take those reads and work as if they're live at bats what a job by S knocka saw him get out of that Crouch slide over and make sure that ball is right in the gut and the glove such a good catcher B trying to frame that one he can't get it it's two and two he wanted the catch on this L Le team for years since he was 10 and then 11 and they needed him elsewhere and they kept telling him we know you want to do it but we really need you somewhere else finally this year 12-year-old paraka is the back [Applause] stop C two and two runner at first is bio now we go high three and two that point too rabi it's so important as a young player to play multiple positions right be able to be athletic you never know what your team calls you for L over the glove of Oliver Johnson in the left field Hallow's got a hit it's first and second with a little two out rally here for the Lake Mary Florida team out of the southeast get another look just a perfect Barrel right over the outstretched arms of Oliver really good effort but hard hit ball getting a runner and scoring position to Raj Alexander in a lot of ways this has been his week he's had so much fun and that one goes to the back stop and that's a big miscue by McGee no chance for Saka there no one's throwing it all the way to Third and now it is second and third this feels like Tage is due for something [Applause] [Music] big he's got four hits already little crush back there that was a little bit of a tourage Tango to get out of the way but it's a strike I'm okay with that take really not a pitch that you want to be able to attack and drive right there this one is too right loo has been great out there he makes another nice catch on the Run they will strand two but we had a home run ball it was JJ Feliciano and when the ball leaves the yard the ball comes back into the yard where we going with it as Eric Young used to say on baseball tonight on a homer souvenir [Applause] City Su who are you I'm here a child get in listen horsepower keeps you going but torque gets you going oh now we're torquing the Dodge Hornet RT the totally torqued out crossover

ridiculous like video game type numbers there's a guy in the lineup or on the mount I'm circling his name and bold cuz that is the guy do not want to be that's right you can't spell Herz without HZ it doesn't work so are you 12 or 11 are you 12 or 13 deep discussions right there [Music] [Applause] deep look like who's going to go get the food got to love the shades on the hat at night just swag Leno has already prevented a run can he deliver a run Smile everybody Bernie wave there you go outside needing base runners loo followed by fos and Luke Lin 789 followed by the bottom three they got 12 guys in the batting order and the off speed has got him ahead one and two boo Foss and lent multiple hits in this world series [Music] good swing as tough as a hitter because you're trying to stay back long enough because you know Alexander has a really good slider good breaking ball but at the same time he's doing a good job of challenging with that fast ball mixing very well you just don't want to be caught in between one and two it inside I think we saw the rally chicken coaches knew this group needed a little something yeah there he is right there keep the mood light and The Dugout so they were given two options a three foot chicken or a little one they op just a little one oh strike three to Raj Alexander with a big punch out of loo he's been terrific I mean the command has been the difference for him right like you can mix and match all you want but if you don't have the command like he does you're not going to have a lot of success hitting the corners doing a great job right [Music] there but he really pushes off that back leg you see that front foot go downhill for Jimmy Foss and another strike it's hard to find little leag gry throw strikes let alone two guys that have just own the strike zone tonight for Florida yeah that's been you know the biggest difference makers get guys coming in here you you're repeating that delivery you give your team a good Rhythm and momentum and you keep your infielders and outfielders on their toes that's another thing too is they're staying engaged in the game and making good plays out there defensively the 02 gets the call and when you throw in strikes like that guy you'll get those calls to Raj Alexander his fifth pun out yeah backto back KS again just spotting up hitting the black fist pump to go with [Applause] this oh all right so he has now thrown 36 so they don't plan on using Tage on Saturday and it's a ball so the Florida pitchers we'll get a ground ball the second check this number out as we go to break

Carl ravit Julie FY as well Eric mosy is our producer tonight Holmes of course is our director of the entire crew looking forward to having a little day off tomorrow third inning big fly baby JJ Feliciano exit stage left off the brick wall out there his second home run here in Williamsport and a little Insurance run for Lake Mary Florida they L it 43 and that blast made it 5 to3 he's coming up right now and he will be facing a new pitcher Oliver Johnson is on the mound he's not pitched here in Williamsport he gave him three innings in the Regionals so a chance to say you know what I pitched at the Little League World Series that's that's a little troubling the special talent eats an onion like an apple what right back up the Middle with some spin off the bag oh what a play by McGee are you kidding that spun hit second base he still made the play where's Jazz Chism I mean you got to love the ability to you see it's queued off the bat what stays with it keeps his momentum going to first base and a great little throw over there just easy for him boy it is terrific play to start and a big out of Feliciano now roosen uh-oh left field this one's deep it is out of here second home run of the series for Garrett Roo in nearly the same spot and Lake Mary has another to leaded 63 that is an awesome onew punch Feliciano and [Applause] roosen man that ball was absolutely lifted out of here so quick feel like you got past a big test and Fel and then get Ros and right after that swinging a major stick here is Bono there's Roos and you know I saw the postgame press conference after the home run last night he was snub from this team didn't make the team and instead of giving up and pouting and he went to work and he has made himself a middle of the order bat and a reliable pitcher it's a great story told by he and his coach last night Bono sends one towards left and the line lens is there to make the play's got such a beautiful swing we talk so much about the young players getting the barrel out in front just recognizes a pitch up in the zone and uses his leverage nice job of getting the that path through and stayed through it for such a long period of time that ball was absolutely blasted out of here since we're we're doing the two-step maybe nasis will hit his second here in [Applause] Williamsport time that's just feels like a very big run given the pitching that Florida has the acis Beats it into the ground that's underneath the glove of ericon and that was hit hard for DJ that is his second hit tonight like it's so nice you got to bring it back twice right the 4 d so pretty that the extension [Applause] [Music] right there have been five pitches there have been five swings and now it's six and they haven't missed one so six pitches and contact on all six swings Mike dataro just killing it tonight burned the day off he earned it all in the last 10 [Applause] minutes 0 and two starting to feel a little more inevitable that it will be Florida and Texas for the US Championship swing and a miss that strike three off the mound bounds Johnson but not before another long ball for the kids from Lake Mary Florida oh do it again get some up in the zone I don't want just one home run at the Little League World Series give me to Bad Boys you got to tip the Hat so that pig was absolutely [Applause] demolished hi guys bill you look great

if they can turn that belief into action garage Alexander has been a silencer out there on the mound since he's come in he's got five strikeouts two long balls the difference in this game to take a 4-3 lead to make it six to3 as they go to the bottom half of the last inning it'll be Sparks followed by godan who's an outstanding pitcher and then Veronica if they can get anybody on they go back to the top and give themselves a chance strike one to Sparks with that little slider there is Gunner give be a complete game here the son of Chad godan leam Sparks with a throwback wants to meet Eric da [Music] [Applause] [Music] NY closer his day he was this one a slow roll to third Roos in strong reminds you a little bit of David freeze the great Cardinal Third Base college football season Saturday will kick off first game of the year here we go on ESPN in the app it's Florida State number 10 squaring off against Georgia Tech it is noon Eastern and where Dublin Ireland six time last 12 years football game has been played in Ireland College Dame day crew is there beginning the day's coverage at 9:00 a.m. eastern on ESPN and ESPNU ranking pitch in there for a strike you go from Little League into the Major League Baseball stretch run the United States Tennis Open and the college football season ready to roll Saturday in Dublin [Applause] is that Chad One World Series ring with the Yankees at 09 and Sun Gunner behind one and two Lake Mary now can see the finish line [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and that ball is fair and it's down the line and then it bounces and godan will stay at first base boy was that close yeah I kep thinking Nevada needs some type of two- strike hit because obviously they're keep getting the two strike strikes and credit Alexander who's doing a good job of putting away hitters but they need some type of momentum and maybe that can be something for them yeah maybe an opportunity to get back to the top of the order tough play though for a third baseman right over the bag like that God Dan's first hit here in Omaha take another look at it it deflected right off the umpire's shoe it's a tough angle did it go over like if you think about the kzone did it get a slice of the pie right I mean Third Base hump is just right on the bag right there so if anyone's going to see it he's going to see it about as good as anybody it's certainly after the bag landed in foul territory but was it angled so that it cut over it from those angles it'd be tough to look like you could overturn that I I would say that I'd say that it got a little piece of the left corner if they were three bases on top of each other does it hit one of them I think [Applause] so it was fair he's there think that's a good challenge though right got well use it [Music] [Applause] yeah all right so it's going to Veronica he is the last batter in the order and then you got a chance you get back to the top double play ends the game looks like he was taken the whole way so it's now o and one from Tage just need to make an adjustment off the off speed right they haven't been able to pick up his slider and it's beat them all night swings here Feliciano Anderson no they do not turn it good try and Nevada down to final out Luciano so smooth down on a knee with the sidearm throw over to second base slip Fielding middle infield right there Lake Barry can get it out they will face Texas in the US championship game Caleb Gomez is up and ball one Russ McGee on Deck a walk will bring up the potential tying run good pitch by Alexander to go one ball one strike [Applause] fast ball Here Comes miasis no play but it's now one ball two strikes Third Base side Lake Mary little league fans family friends all on their feet Gomez chokes up Alexander comes to the ball down two balls two strikes pick of all the teams that try to get to here and then those that actually get a chance to play for a championship like Mary is a strike away from doing [Applause] that that ball though to left it's going to get down and Nevada stays alive as Caleb Gomez keeps it going with a single his second hit of the night brings up the tying run not done yet that a boy Caleb man you got that big hit oh that's awesome man the emotion obviously down to that last strike good piece of two- strike hitting awesome choking up dumping in the left [Music] field so good shows how much it me to these kids motion obviously down to that last strike good piece of two strike hitting choking up dumping in the left field so good shows how much it means to these kids how much it needs to these kids so Alexander's coming out his pitch count just prepped over can get into it could go a long way he's a very good pitcher and I think the move kind of has to be made right got to bring got a couple guys on you can't let a three-run homer kind of tie this one up bring in your best guy see if you can get that last out right here yeah and you accomplish a couple of things you get Alexander out which means he's available for Sunday which is probably part two to that whole thing your point is absolutely well made we need an out to get into that us championship game and we got a guy who can now throw 20 pitches and be able to throw absolutely for NADA you're not done like I I believe you got to continue to think that this is not over for you obviously there's a lot of emotion right now but we've seen teams put together some great runs down to their last out Ed williamsp this of course is the Tim kirken uh battery with Feliciano and Bono because this would be like the all singing team he's into those things Bono catching Feliciano on the mound secondary to the situation which is Russ McGee at the plate as the tying run and JJ Feliciano trying to get his team to the US title [Applause] [Music] game ball one the gesman in the middle of everything came up with a great defensive play the last half and he's got a double tonight three hits here in Williams Port [Applause] power fast ball on the corner the composure of both of these kids is phenomenal a heart rate under control for Feliciano and McGee no that's two balls in a strike [Applause] yes he went so that is strike two M let's go Fano try to end it B three and two [Applause] Wyatt Erikson would be up [Applause] next the payoff pitch with two down this one to center field morrisy goes back he's under it and the Lake Mary little eagers will play for a US Championship on Saturday they win it 63 over Nevada what an entertaining Little League baseball game we had tonight Florida wins at 63 on the backs of Feliciano and the Home Run hitting Lake Mary little eagers two big blasts in this one JJ and roosen and the pitching was on point yeah I don't think you can talk enough about the job Raja Alexander did out there coming into this game and being able to really shut down the bats of Nevada three and two3 Birds giving up a couple of hits but striking out five no runs I thought he did a nice job of really being the momentum builder for this team first day off in a long time for the folks here and for you at home who have been binge watching the little league we're going to flip it on tomorrow night it's going to not be there well we'll be back on Saturday and it's Day games 12:30 eastern time taipe and Venezuela and Bernie Texas will get a chance to prove that the first victory was not a fluke over Lake Mary for Julie FY Xavier Scruggs everybody behind the scenes enjoy tomorrow you've all earned it I'm Carl ravage coming up next college
