defense 107 beat Texas and that's how they get to the spot good off speed pitch Alexander is gone this one grounded out to third his first time up got a one to hit there and he sent it in the right field exactly what you said and Chase Anderson is aboard with his fourth hit at the Little League World Series and they have had at least hey Chase figuring it out two balls two strikes Anderson at

throw back safe at third they pick up the run from first to second and now both in scoring position always a challenge and man one did that about as good pitch for a lefty to hit two and two and a SL roller to First and Bono is out and Moy is CH zakai dodging some bullets here walking a tight rope two and two always a big out that first one if you can get it this one on the ground a second and a nice hop for Alexander and there's one [Applause] down off speed that's a lot of spin on it and a nice job there by bble to slow it all down in his glove and there is two outs retired nine straight Lea Shan how rips one up the middle fielded by Anderson oh wow what a Play What a he is gone chasing cheddar up top and you throw so many of those breaking pitches that on the ground to short fielded cleanly and Bo away fires to first for the second out 100,000 and that ball to right field it is caught out there by way Cho what a play on a hard hit ball by Luis callow they threaten again there by cow but a nice play in right field take it away here we are in the fifth of that six inning game that one is in the hole and a leadoff hit for who Yen Yun and he now has eight hits at this Little League World Series he's given up four total runs and this one to center field morresy broke back now comes in and he is a vacuum out there guess what's getting start to begin it's the US Open Monday

walk for lean Norton and now the bases are [Applause] [Music] loaded a one-w from laan Norton popped up we'll keep an eye on the third baseman out there Feliciano Good arm no chance to advance and a huge out for laan Norton umpires did not opt to go for an infield fly rule that was shallow enough and left and this one popped up Feliciano out moris he says I got it and the center fielder comes in to make the play Tai leaves them loaded off of it both sides of the plate really good pitch on the corner fairy impressive first batter for cha and he picks up the strike out of Alexander and Roos since she want to get to bounced up the middle it's going to be a tough one it had a lot of Top Spin and boy chadr continues to get hit after hit that's his second tonight one nothing Orton gone fast ball away and Joe wayel looks like a closer out there with his mix of breaking over the plate I mean he is definitely trying to hit the corners kind of getting around the plate that one gets by the catcher a rare pass ball he chased he got that big strike out another runner for Lake Mary left in scoring position they'll have the top of the order coming up in the the amount of hits they've threatening every inning it's a spot they're comfortable with that's for sure one two strike out of [Applause] tonha beaten out of the ground Fano decides to back up and that's another quick out they've had so much practice so many balls on infield they all look so smooth it with a head one zip on an 02 hold strike three and we will go to the bottom of the sixth inning Florida needing one to tie two to win last year the United States made it five consecutive World Series champ oh it hit him and wow the leadoff man goes down to first which means the winning run comes to the plate up here he's swinging and that ball to center field Oh What A Catch by zakai as it was near over his head he didn't read it really well but he stuck the mid up and he made the catch in [Applause] Center oh oh they called him out on a swing I don't think he went B that's going to be ball four and down to second base goes Anderson to bring up DJ meis oh there's one to hit this one shallow left field it's going to get down Anderson being waved here he comes it's cut off by the pitcher we're tied and safe at third base second and third 1- meis delivers boy the pitcher cut it off I wasn't sure by Chung H 20 breaking pitch leveled off the swing just touched it got it right over the Short Stops head the play what if as we see him rounding third here oh boy that would have been really close you're taught as a pitcher to go back up the play Carl we talked about this bbo slow roller fielded cleanly to First and wow Florida gets off the mat to tie the game but we're not done yet we will go to the seventh inning Extra Innings at the World Series the championship game K got only two hits here in Williamsport and he will be gone he will not get a third he strikes out predominantly fast [Applause] balls on the ground up the middle that's going to be a hit and J Ry found a piece of grass they were not covering Anderson was too far shaded to First and we saw that a couple times in the game yesterday against Texas how the game ended yesterday hard ground ball right to Feliciano that ball is ripped Fair ball down the line and Shen how delivers a single first and second with one out another one popped up boto now picks it up here it comes he makes the play behind the plate not an easy play for a catcher and phono has been Nails behind home now he was hit by a pitch he flew out to Center and this one may be playable for Feliciano he's over there and yes he makes the play in foul territory whole bunch of anxiety that is called strike three got a piece of the inside corner and Morris he's gone on a late [Applause] breaker oh another B runner for Lake Mary at least one in all seven Innings that we play9 didn't win it says it has been with him since [Applause] then quick pitch on the corner called strike three Alexander is [Applause] out and that one down the left field line it's a fair ball Koo goes to second he will go to third they hold him there and he will come back wow whoa that was close you heard the manager Anderson opportunity after opportunity for Lake Mary he swings and misses and that will do it in the seventh they strand two Runners at second and [Applause] third 02 yes sir strike three right on the corner and Lin sen Kai never swung the bat [Applause] that is [Applause] a on the ground is short they will hold it second and nice play by Feliciano Good job by Yen because he was probably going to go to third base to get the lead and it was right in front of him Norton is ready with his 52 pitch that ball is lifted High to left fairly deep bio stops short of the track and he makes the play and oh so close for Swang Jun will they bunt Alexander with the runner at second base Norton he gets it down oh it's perfect he throw it away Lake Barry's going to win the Little League World Series Championship [Music] Chinese taipe in shock it was fielded and thrown to first base nobody was there on an incredible bunt by the last hitter in the order hter Alexander and for the first time Florida are Little League World Series champions two to one is the final and all the Florida kids are gathered and holding and hugging and consoling the kids from Taiwan for a team that doesn't make many mistakes unbelievable you look the second baseman was not covering the base he didn't look he just threw it nobody was home there's nothing you can do the one mistake they make comes back to haunt them in the loss and we were just talking about in the top half Taiwan didn't chose not to bunt a team that bunts all the time chose natu Florida who's the big Bashers lays it down perfectly to end up walking it off on a bunt on a bunt incredible Hunter Alexander you were waiting for that ball to roll on of the dirt and maybe go foul and it never did wow it was fielded by the pitcher and Cha threw it a first figer and I got to get the out and he threw it into right field cuz nobody was there man your hearts are broken for Taiwan watch this bunt first base's right there there's nobody from second base [Applause] covering and wouldn't it be so appropriate that the guy that came on in relief lean Norton scores the winning run as Lake Mary little league just outside of Orlando lost a game here and in their eighth game here Williamsport celebrates an eighth inning walk-off to win it all Florida's never won a championship this is their ninth time being in this game they're 0 and eight no team has never want to being this many times and this is how they do it unbelievable [Applause] game that's the beauty of little league when the last man in the order can end up being a hero and that is exactly what Hunter Alexander has been and will be they rallied yesterday against Texas they came from behind today against taipe as they get the tying run in the last inning and the winning run obviously here in the bottom of the eighth boy those are real real authentic Smiles man that has been a long summer and they fought tooth and nail they grinded BVO and Norton the
