Barquisimeto, Venezuela vs Matamoros, Mexico Baseball Highlights, 2024 Little League World Series

guys right you kind of understand guys strengths and weaknesses a little more after getting one game under the belt roller left side at Luis Longoria and one away and naturally the same goes for Venezuela right being able to [Music] deep 3-2 and Diaz walks so he's on for a couple big bats coming in the three and four spots for Venezuela the base is loaded who had the walk-off walk he gets hit a walk and a hit batter and there's two on for [Music] Venezuela line drive right field base hit Willian Mora Jesus Diaz gets waved around and Venezuela [Applause] leads such a nice job of Willian MAA understanding hey after the coach comes out is talking to the pitcher I'm probably going to get something over the heart of the plate I'm going to get something to hit calm cool collected takes it right to right field uses the opposite [Applause] [Music] field coached by his father to left and it drops Jansen fredes scores two nothing Venezuela and Samuel kadel who dreamt of coming here after visiting as a three-year-old his first hit kcll not trying to do a whole lot right and what that means is I'm just trying to meet the barrel to the baseball not trying to be overly aggressive maybe a ball that got in on him just a little bit but still with his Bat path he was able to stay inside the baseball dunk something out to left and see them putting two on the board real quick here ground ball to short at Antonio Guerrero the turn he not in time for two willan Mora holds it third on the ball in the dirt at [Music] first the Batters Diego Bara yeah what will Venezuela do first and third first pitch swinging base hit right field Bea three nothing Venezuela in the first [Music] [Applause] I I don't like to get too in depth with these swings because obviously they're 11 and 12 year olds but Diego Bea Vera did such a nice job of staying short and inside that baseball everything was very relaxed with that swing so smooth from the left side he was aggressive early and you got to love how the Barrel in the bat pass stays through for a very long time he doesn't and when I say that it means he doesn't rolled the hands over he's short to it and long through it Abraham Lucena rolls one into Center pet stops IT third and Venezuela's got him loaded with three runs already pitches from Raul Hernandez the batter Santiago beo first pitch swinging Guerrero at Short gets the force over to herard cisos in it over quick work in the first startd against Mexico leepz was excellent Guerrero to right Baker ziga tried to make the catch but he trapped it Guerrero didn't realize it now he does take second and he's got a [Music] double and that one as well in the air right field zaga ranges into the Gap and makes the catch Guerrero tags and at a blazing Pace moves is up 60 ft with one down down a double a walk and a well struck fly out so far for Mexico their second time be a huge concern without a runner on second right strike three called as Longoria goes down by way of the K and there's two down and usually if that's the case with a lot more patience it's a walk second in a span of three batters and Mexico's got him [Applause] [Music] loaded pitches thrown in this entire tournament that have been 80 have come from his right arm two two swing and a miss Gonzalez strikes out and Luis YZ from over and they're definitely one of the loudest Crews too lot of chance over there obviously you mentioned the support has been big but you can tell that they are here because you'll hear [Applause] them that was called Ball [Applause] Four 02 pitch on the way Line Drive Right Center Field a base hit for Joshua Duron first two on for Venezuela see off speed I wasn't really picking it up and I think that's why I'm so impressed by their ability to stay in their legs stay balanced on a dirt ball they move two into scoring [Applause] position like some of these young it's about an automatic run home play umpire summoning the pitch and this is smack to Center Hernandez goes back and it's over his head theia and teron score and Jonathan landera drives in [Music] [Applause] two Outfield the last thing you want to do is roll something over he gets this fast ball and he lets it eat M drives it right where it came from you got a little wind blowing out there too so you use that and the base running to me right there is really Elite because you get Duran that held up and made sure that it was over the head there gu bunts popped up and hung on to by Serio Gonzalez colliding with his pitcher Santiago Sello for the first out Santiago stello has been in all kinds of collisions the last two games so back to the top Luis yepez one out one on this one Cars away landera to Third [Applause] one yep is hammers it right center and caught tagging from third Jonathan Lander the scores on a sack fly into the wind to make it 6 nothing cap were you writing stuff yeah I always wrote something like like give it all you got you know some some message to myself [Music] I don't know if this was keep track oh I was keeping track of every last one I had all six of them that doesn't surpris me Json fredes skyw Big League popup into the wind nicely done Serio Gonzalez can we make sure Luis YZ has a hat the proper hat for breaking that down too base hit to start the bottom of the second from Francisco agilar for Mexico how what he just said to Sebastian that he didn't think he would have tears of joy again Luis yepez with a strike out and Diego Gonzalez goes down this is to the back stop at 78 to Dominic baladis and it allows agular to move up to second we're talking with Jorge via Franco PR because you win this you still got to play tomorrow you win that you play Saturday and six run leads pretty good this is pulled to right and it drops for Dominic balderes Francisco Aguilar to the plate and Mexico's on the [Applause] board it's a great at bat from balades the Little League World Series so you know he's feeling good he gets to a fast ball up in the zone place that first run for Mexico just nice compact swing and he's like let's go fellas bomb him Ricardo kavos backside base hit simple swing against 75 exactly what you talked about and Mexico is seeing and performing a lot better against Luis YZ the second with two on bottom of their atlanto ooh strike three called and Garza goes down via the strike count to [Applause] gone that's a nice job of getting right back into the Zone throwing strikes you see him break off that slider right [Music] there player as well on the ground towards second and Simone viia ends the inning Mexico's on the board but they settle for one and they've stranded five through two against l Lis [Applause] [Music] [Applause] YZ pulled down the line deep and it one hops Off the Wall willon Mora's got two hits already payoff little nber satell gloves and waits on Gonzalez to get to the bag with morta moving up to third Center Fields rul Hernandez makes the catch and then dropped it they call it an out still and MAA tagged up in scores so it's 71 dropped on the transfer and it's a sack fly in the end 02 on the ground a second nice sliding stab from herard cisos handing over Venezuela adds a run six run margin for the team from barisi M are a little better than 2020 it's probably a little less now but it's good they feel the bunt and Jonathan land that got it over in time to the covering CA so this might be the last batter he faces swinging a Miss 78 with cut Running Up and Away to strike out the star has anything to do with Berto Clemente we know it's it's going to be good it's real good stuff if so it's a strike out for Baker which they probably are they've been at it for a week at this point pulled the left and smoked by Abraham Lucena it goes past Isaac Garza and Abraham Lucena digs to Second his second headit of the ball game and that was clipped yeah that ball was rocketed out to left me seb's body structure he probably moves so quick on it check swing to Luis Longoria B's out number one I might have to try a different tactic maybe like running from a good distance before I get to the board I can't remember what it was called funnel cake funnel yeah what happened to the funnel cake on the ground to short Guerrero backhand in the hole he's going to go to third longor applies the tag Lucan is out number [Applause] two parents for their kids and for the broadcast team

on something that he can drive he not a guy that's going to just look to touch the baseball he's looking to hurt it and they're going to put him on [Applause] right move I mean I I think one of the
