Chinese Taipei vs Florida [FULL GAME] Aug 25, 2024 | Championship Game | LLWS Highlights 2024

IO their best Fielder at third base and Chase Anderson at short and Pitch number one of this L League World Series Championship game is high and tight to the right fielder Chu who is four for 12 he has the only Homer for [Applause] [Music] taipe two balls no strikes good Outfield here with roosen in left morresy in center and C out there and right and falling into the same pattern that Chinese taipe wants [Applause] every three and one we'll see if he takes again it is a very patient program when it comes to that and comfortable hitting with two strikes as a feather blows right down in front of [Applause] him oh there is your walk exactly what Taiwan hopes you do often and it happened a lot yesterday against Venezuela watch his feather it goes right down in front of way at the plate I kind of thought you were losing your mind when he said but now we have facts appreciate that douy yeah that feather STS right out there good follow Stevie CH a Kai left-handed batter there's that breaking pitch to get a head o and one yeah the biggest part if you can't find that fast ball you got to start something else good start for him this guy's another walk machine eight walks tied for the most in the history of this tournament with a guy named Frasier and a handful of others eight walks tied most walks at the Little League World Series nobody more than Todd wants there to be strikes thrown in this event no no no he can have it [Applause] it's hard you think about this you have 12-year-old kids and you tell them listen we might take until you get two strikes and they've been so good at it and now you see where they're at and a place to win the whole thing ironic because when they swing they make contact their contact rate is over 80% oh there he is third on the list Todd Frasier Matt Allison chy aai I think they missed in that year I got to go back and [Applause] look CS they'll be forced into swinging there have been 10 pitches thrown we haven't had a swing yet oh how about backto back walks to lead off we'll see exactly how Florida plays this with regards to patience with their pitcher yeah and that was a three two breaking pitch too finding the Zone Jacob's dad's one of the coaches Paul bivo Kyle Bono and the manager Jonathan Anderson so here you have your three- hole hitter up with nobody out and two [Applause] on misses down I think that has to be the philosophy against this team and again they have not yet hit a whole bunch of ball BS over the wall this is a really good defense behind him and I think there's throwing strikes and there's throwing strikes knowing they're not going to swing and it's a different mindset of just I can throw this like a playing catch cuz as we've seen with Taiwan they will not swing the bat Lano was at Short Stop yesterday he's the guy that turned that unassisted double play to end the game and win the championship there's a bunt right back to bio he'll go to first base pick up the out and the runners advance to second and third so your three-hole hitter for taipe buns to get the first two up the base this has been their entire style it's what helped get them here they know how to move Runners take pitches and it's as old school as it gets and because they're pitching so great sometimes one two runs are enough to Win It Lea Shen how three for 12 five rbi's looks at ball one down and away [Applause] just imagine in Major League Baseball you're three- hole hitter buting the ball to get a guys over anything happens here at the Little League World Series they can imagine at any level when you play to have a team that doesn't swing the bat and how just unique it is for 11 and 12 year olds too I mean I get patience comes later but for these kids like most of the time all they want to do is hit they can't wait to get in the Box swing the bat this has been practiced and here comes the first meeting of the afternoon between Jonathan Anderson you just got to fill it up man let him hit let's see what happen right be a dog go after him let him hit a baseball let us do our thing okay yep you got this all right let's go boys you get three meetings third meeting you got to take the pitchure out and there is one and we have one out in the first inning this championship [Applause] [Music] [Applause] game they have sent a pitcher lean Norton down to that Bullpen as we talked about what they might do Landon Bono's a story for this team as well his ability to catch block balls behind home has been fantastic the way it works here in Williamsport the bullpens are in the Outfield and in order to get to them you have to go out onto the field which causes wuk Kai are on the bases next pitch in there for a strike and that's three balls and one strike this is just where Taiwan wants to be nice slow pace take your time they don't mind this at all [Applause] popped up on the infield Anderson the short stop calls him out that's a big one right there your Four Hole hitter trun how who has power just got under one and Florida's looking to get out of this inning unscathed we talked about the fifth hitter and this is him who Yen Jun is for eight so he's got a 750 average he too has walked a handful of times and three runs it felt like the first inning in the international game yesterday was the difference that's when Venezuela lost the game and we'll see if they can take advantage of having the couple walks and two runners in scoring position or if Lake Mary can hold it to a zero [Applause] [Music] behind is bio one and0 breaking pitch in there for a strike bibo's breaking ball actually does a great job of hitting the bottom of the Zone but since they're not chasing it he's going to throw it a little B up in the zone there to get it called for a strike the 1-1 ripped off the glove of Feliciano long throw to first it's Off the Mark it's one nothing Tai pay as it deflected off the glove ball was crushed off the bat one hop they called The Hot Corner for a reason beautiful swing there nice try there by Anderson to throw to first the reaction third hang y Yen he said it got him on the arm I think it did and the bases will be loaded on a hit by pitch boy this is deja vu all over it what Happ of Venezuela against taipe put out in front of Home [Applause] plates bio 24th pitch of the inning gets a head o and one [Applause] [Music] [Applause] foul back up here and now o and two count now with a catcher like Bono behind the plate you can mix and match here a little bit his breaking pitch has been one of his better pitches so far today maybe throw one in the dirt try and get him to Chase the batter celebrated his birthday on Tuesday didn't chase they were all moving off the field and you got to kind of change that tune as well that one was off the [Music] [Applause] plate so bio's got to refocus so does the entire infield that was moving towards their [Applause] Dugout L sen Kai left field Ro hosen is there he's under it he makes the play they will leave him loaded and they minimize the damage Chinese taipe gets one onone hit here place to get to he knows that Anderson leads things off followed by Feliciano rosen's got a couple of home runs so does JJ in the two spot the Asis is a threat to hit one over the wall and that bottom part of that order yesterday was huge for them yeah they had four hits sidearm delivery there are his numbers here's the the propensity to walk five walks 10 Cas Chase Anderson leads off strike one right down the middle yeah he's got this little Herky jerky kind of pitch he lows you to sleep and then Wham it looks looks like he's thrown from his shoulder oh and two Anderson often finds himself with two strikes pretty good contact hitter with two as his dad offers some coaching down there in the third base [Music] box beats one on the ground this is a terrific defensive team and the out is made of Third Base I find that absolutely incredible give credit to Chia Ray my man is just stopping everything good little note from Mikey notes nugget now Feliciano that's a call in the outside corner to get ahead 0 and one JJ's proven himself to be just a terrific kid very Adept in fielding and there is power in that bat try to sneak a fast ball by how many he fouled it straight back four for 15 that's a 267 average five runs batted in he has scored seven runs [Music] but again working ahead in the count oh Buried one there he's got two different breaking balls there that one was the one the spiked one the other one is kind of in back door front door action on both sides two different speeds that's what's going to keep hitters off bals show a little lamp Zack GBS back there calling balls and Strikes catcher set up outside that's where the pitch went charge got it before it hit the ground a second time well done by the short stop K away come get the ball no hesitation oh one step and throw that's what professionals do money right there oh way make the Little League team last year was an 11year old and all he did was then go to work he got better defensively offensively grew a little bit and he's been a big part of why there here he's bat and third in this lineup he's two home runs I mean he has been absolutely a huge part of this highight is behind two [Applause] and0 you see he's going to they're going to give you one fast ball it's a matter if you taking care of it when you play Pros you're going to get that one pitch to hit there it was right there that 20- count and watch him go back to being crafty the fast ball up was a little bit of an issue for him last year he's developed the ability to go and get that and now it's a 3-1 count they have a little league home F Derby here as well during the week and the kid that won it is on deck for Florida Landon Bono the catcher has yet to hit a homer during the tournament way inside there's a walk only the 13th walk that the Taiwan pitchers have issued in this tournament and now it's left on left for the Big Bopper landed [Applause] [Music] he wanted he was swinging first pitch no matter what was coming and to his credit he did hit one out it got robbed by Texas brought it back in the wind helped too you're right rosen's really fast at first base oh great adjustment he's been doing that all week too as well might swing at one bad he sees the next one gets right back in the groove of where he needs to [Applause] feel oh missed outside two balls in a [Applause] strike roosen ready to run here it comes to Bono yep got a little piece in the corner two and two they respect the power they [Applause] know there not off yep same pitch he swung at first pitch of this atat that's coming off a breaking ball that was a strike that was like you mentioned the second one that he wants to get for chase the kai looks into his Dugout that's where the call of which pitch to throw comes from and it's a big one with two outs in the first 32 does not Chase how about back to back walks and that'll get the lake merry C [Applause] so the message there was I think in a sense let's try to block out the external factors the crowd and anything else that may may enter the mind of a 12-year-old focus on the task at hand everybody in the field be ready this is the last game [Music] big swing at that one watch out up in here and back down towards the field they brought in Feliciano to be a pinch Runner he's at first base now DJ's last couple of bats he's gotten jammed that last swing right there was perfect get a little extension hands do talking plent of room between the left and center fielder huge gap outside out Coes one ball one strike there it is little [Applause] Shuffle stto and the Yankees were here players loved every minute of it the Asis does it during the games breaking pitch in the dirt swung on and missed and how about H behind home plate terrific defensive play two [Music] would you dare throw another fast ball here not what he's swinging at everything don't give him a strike here's the kai right now you got to be able to make him Chase and he is chasing he was all over the fast ball he did see DJ's Homer was a drive to left center field he's the first baseman he's got two Runners on two down swing and a miss in the dirt he can go to First there's here's the throw and he is out chos aai strands a couple Lake Mary unable to score we played one inning of this championship and it's from JJ Feliciano last year good start there light Shan sheet she took one away from Feliciano he pitched yesterday just an incredible arm mix of fast ball and breaking pitches he has not gotten a hit here on a one hopper to the short stop Anderson who and got rid of it quickly nice play there by Anderson too quick release little Hamburger Helper too for bio on the mound to just throw a couple of pitches to get the out Swang Jun now up oh where would you play as a third baseman against this team I I would stay right about there at the base I mean listen there's some guys you could play back I would play back here I don't think he's buting it's just for show [Applause] it's hard you got to figure it out you either come up or come back it's it's very hard unpredictability and they're reading it the whole time this is de oh played onire didn't ask for help that's a strike it's one ball and two strikes he's getting coaching down there in that third base box Le changa these kids roll into school around 7 a.m. stretch for about 45 minutes as a team then they have class all day then they go to practice but they all show up at seven and go through a stretching route this team plays for a title oh oh boy that was a close one and instead of it being a strikeout the count goes full three balls two strikes and those are the pitches that bio it's going to have to have Chase there strike out two up two down here in the second looks a lot he's throwing that breaking pitch on three2 counts consecutive times going to have to get him team so point1 for bball going right back to it doesn't get called a strike all right I'll throw it again get the chase Lyn sh e oh in the dirt first ball almost means automatic take next pitch right I mean that's that's where we're at with the group ball one automatic [Applause] take they don't swing until they get at least one strike some won't swing until they get two [Applause] [Music] strikes how far he is on on the box front foot is almost out of the box yeah he is almost in the field of play the feather's gone good move yeah so the mound is 46 feet away you know and he's really reducing it to almost what 44 I mean where he's trying to get out in front of the ball and where that pitch is delivered he's got to have a quick reaction time given where he's standing hold up hold up hold up hold [Applause] up play Oni was very aware of where he was standing to had him back up a [Applause] fraction bio appears ready on a two- two and this ball driven to right that's deep C going back he's there to make a nice play in right field bio face seven in the first he retired of one EO swings at the first one up the middle stabbed but no play and bio now has eight hits at this world series and what a start terrific effort you're trying to get hits against this team good luck you got to put him in perfect placements and both no way says hey I'll get it I'm going to keep you honest right there I know it's a knock but I'm getting everything here comes Florida a little momentum swing and here we go first and second on a hit by pitch little uncharacteristic two walks and a hit batter by chukai this was the part of line yesterday to Right Center good pitch on the outside corner Florida yesterday against Texas a seesaw game and when they go they go pretty hard they can get them in bunches [Music] oh oh two and one and that's a quick quick walk right here by the manager Lee changa for Luis callow two balls and a strike bbo at second lot more aggressive swings too from Florida they understand okay got to get to him earlier in the count understanding two fast balls or early breaking balls come next he likes to bury a breaking ball in on the right-handed hitters he's got one Strike wow look at that man they don't have have pass balls on this team and that is a massive Advantage for a little league team to know that there is a guy back there and when I say they haven't had one they have had zero pass balls no free bases you Chow r i mean that is a wild pitch and he saved his [Applause] pitcher oh beses are loaded there's no biggest stage let's see what the big guy can do he's definitely be a thing here with his actions on the field and off the field a terrific [Applause] [Music] player well way outside and that wasn't even close gaj is 53 he's kid that likes to play the trumpet in the sixth grade band he just started learning it a year ago he loves it says he wants to be an Umpire if he stops playing baseball CU he just loves to be around the game so much and he knows what a significant big swing one ball one strike I like it I like it I mean he understood one oh he's going to give me something over the middle part of the plate he's off the plate let it eat let it eat come on big swing big [Applause] moment nope two balls in the strike good effort by catcher to frame it bios's at third morresy with good speed at second Koo is at first it's one nothing and there's nobody out in the second oh he got him with an off speed pitch two balls and two [Applause] stride and a foul ball that's Ka almost got to stay with that breaking ball toage just waiting for a fast ball you can tell that's what he's hunting even here with two strikes [Applause] on the ground to third coming home for one he doesn't have to tag him it's a force play just when you think the opportunity is coming he touches third B oh yeah there's one yes good call so he did have to tag him great call didn't see that foot hit the bag so a double play one I thought he picked and just fired home but he stepped on Third and that did cause the tag at home [Music] incredible they are never out of it I don't care this is what they do Christopher chadr looks at one for a strike oh boy you imagine a Bas is loaded no outs and not getting a run against [Applause] him way out in front he doesn't move up on the plate with that sweeping breaking ball to try to cut it before it cuts on him [Applause] oh just the confidence that zakai has right now to pitch all of his pitches anywhere he wants I mean he's definitely spiked a few of those breaking balls but Chow you behind the plate absolute wall two and two three and [Applause] two chadr has really good numbers he's five for 10 here with a couple of rbi's had two big hits remember yesterday broke up that no hitter that Julian Hurst was throwing here it comes on a payoff and he laces one in right field fielded cleanly out there by way Shay they will hold cow and that this is the 10 hole hitter I mean to be able to get to the count two stri get a pitch on the inner half he's able to drive in smart to hold him here's Norton oh ball high aan Norton was not in the lineup yesterday he was sick whatever he was dealing with went away and a quick conversation now with the home played umpire he's done this before he switched the outfielders he went left to right field he's done this in a couple games left field on on a knock so we could throw the guy out at home all [Applause] right gets the call to even it up one ball and a strike got to keep an eye on the Florida base runners too they will take as we saw Tage yesterday they'll go I'm sure taipe is schooled in that too [Applause] yep breaking pitch one and two similar spot that they had chiad drop in and he Lac that single to right and lean Norton do the [Applause] same all day there such a safety valve back there it's incredible you just don't see that at little [Applause] leak inside corner called strike three they had them loaded the double play and the punch out and they do not score we're through two it stays Taiwan one and Florida nothing as these kids together from different countries different cultures I mean you see it here at the Little League World Series every year but you see it on a daily basis and all that you're doing and watch why Sports when you talk about that diplomacy well there's so much that divides Us in the world today I know that Sports brings us together and I think about the next decade in the United States the Olympics in Los Angeles the FIFA World Cup the Olympics in Salt Lake City we've got this great opportunity to bring people together in a way that we haven't done before and I just think this is a way to transcend division these young people are so special and young boys and now girls are are doing amazing things on this field and it doesn't have to be in the World Series it can be on Ball Fields Across America which is what my experience has been so again just so proud of all these kids from every corner of the world State Department's efforts to help get them over here to play Little League Baseball it's an absolute attribute that the state department has and an asset to Little League a huge partner so thank you to the United States state department and their efforts good catch out there we just saw from Chase Anderson as he ranged into shallow left field and now is the last hitter in this order Chung B way oh Vivo has retired five in a row after giving up that one run with a couple of walks and a hit batter in the first settling into a baseball game and a little squibber that's going to stay foul difference between the first inning and now he's filling up the strike zone letting the defense work a little bit that's what Jonathan Anderson that manager said let them hit especially this bottom of the lineup let them put the ball in [Applause] play two and two to chunbo way and this is on the infield and popped up Hunter Alexander is there for the second out Sebastian what do you got let me take you back to 9 days ago Carl okay cuz the Guan L League team was taking on the team from Australia and before they did get one today and actually before the game today CH told me you know if there's any way Todd can come back to tell you on City you know with him he'd love to keep the good luck going after the tournament well we got the state department here I'm sure we could arrange that TD probably right after the game byebye see you later I'm ready big dog that's the Monday picture and then a granny base is empty for him now now ball and that's a little bit too far inside it goes one ball one strike not just one player but the entire Taiwan fan base now is buying into the Todd Frasier good luck why not why wouldn't you exactly ripped on the ground and Anderson deep in the hole not a problem well the message was pretty simple qu and then back to the top four Florida who has threatened in the first two innings and not been able to score [Applause] [Applause] there you go [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh good fast ball up top haven't seen too many of those from zakai they challenge Alexander who's won for 12 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here B good take so Lake Mary team de beat South Dakota 2-1 then the team from you all up Washington 6-1 they lost to birdie Texas 4 to1 beat New York beat Hawaii beat Nevada and yesterday in a wild one 107 beat Texas and that's how they get to the spot good off speed pitch Alexander is gone six Eastern baseball tonight Sunday night countdowns when it all starts great races in the major leagues amongst the teams that are in those races there just not a t H battling for wild card but those top positions are all scrambled [Applause] eggs right now left on left match here Chase he sees that curveball that front shoulders leaking if he stays in there where he is on the plate two he's going to have a good time swinging at 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 third J you want stand left-handed hitter punch in the first get the call in the outside corner elevated fast [Applause] ball they're making zakai work 57 pitches here in the third inning ball [Music] go one and one to a terrific athlete JJ [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Feliciano underneath it towards the foul line and just off the [Applause] screen that's it we've seen three or four of those fast balls just miss underneath he's an old soul looking for a big hit takes another one good take they seem to be able to pull back back T yeah so when you're seeing this big breaking ball you got to see it basically above your head that's how much depth it has it's that good it looks good and then you're like yes yes yes no so James JJs figuring it out two balls two strikes Anderson at first with one out there's one to hit that's off the glove of the third basem just hit too hard from felicio and Tang had you can hit now he gets one that's more up in the zone a beautiful job getting Barrel on this thing you know when it gets by the defense for Taiwan that is a hard hit ball for a hit we may be having a pitching change with him he he's my pride enjy he's kind he's always he's always I enjoy him and I enjoy being with him six Innings so it's got you got to go all the way enjoy the rest of this it's one final day and here you are Grandma thank you for joining us thank you for being here what a play by Pang y Yin at second base snared that like a professional to get the force out Landon Bono trying to bring Anderson in from third Roos trying to get in a rund down and they were trying to send the runner home and now we got two guys they throw back safe at third they pick up the run from first to second and now both in scoring position then you make your decision zkai saw it saw the runner going they might have had a chance great base running by Chase Anderson there make him make the throw slide back got in there just in time just in [Applause] time oh great take see him shaking his head you saw half his body say yes and he held back with his hands that's a pitch he chased his last at bat great [Applause] adjustment oh boy he thought it was off instead it's two balls and two strikes oh this is where left on left too if you're getting off the plate out called you got to go back there with the breaking ball or the fast ball such a tough pitch for a lefty to hit two and two and a slow roll of the first and Bono is out and Moy is chos zakai dodging some bullets here walking a tight rope us unable to score again we're through three it's [Applause] one Mr Walk machine here he will take until the cows come home [Applause] oh oh boy where was that that looked good zai was all over the place in that batter box two balls one strike we got a lot of left on left situations he does lay down a bunt and that will roll foul good job by Feliciano as it danced on that line for a while this would have been a hit beautiful job of deing the B 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 down there's no question us has had more chances in this game the balls that they put in play they have not been hit very hard that one play by callow and Wright I mean they've had four hits and the biggest thing too with Tai on besides the walks is the contact they've only had one strike out 83% contact percentage that's I mean over double some teams that are here 38 of their last 40 all swings have resulted in contact 38 of 40 it's an obscene number if they haven't necessarily been hard and certainly one one has been over the wall that's it oh UJ Ray he is the catcher [Applause] [Music] [Applause] two balls one strike at the letters slowly and methodically bio has really done a really good job here in the fourth inning ready on a 2-1 and this ball lifted towards the netting down the first base side they'll give it look but it will get off the net here 12 Joe wayu is warming up in the Chinese Taipei Bullpen he's a right-hander starting pitcher is at 67 pitches bibo now to 60 and you can see him out there throwing [Applause] off speed that's got 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 boy has he settled in after the first and you just never know like what direction is the 12-year-old mind going to take you and bibo really calmed things down also how hard it is is to throw strikes when your heart rate pounding first inning of championship game he's doing it perfectly now only giving up one hit retired nine straight Lea Shan how rips one up the middle fielded by Anderson oh wow what a Play What a spin arama by Chase Anderson it's short and it looked think it was a big fat head well I got a big head so it's easy target easy target you keep that practice up and let us know when you hit one of us we'd be Greatful it's a little warm in this booth right now DJ Masis is batting they've had a runner in scoring position the first three Innings and haven't put one in yet Masis followed by bibo who's got eight hits here and then Liam morisy feels like it's a matter of time but Tai has held him scoreless oh two and [Applause] [Music] one DJ's not happy he missed that that was a pitch though that broke pretty hard in on his fists and he fouled it off I don't think I think it's a little frustration but I think he's in the mode where I got this you know let's go you know let's get fired up let's put that bar on the ball digging in his hero is SoDo he is gone chasing cheddar up top and you look so good to hit out of the Zone the whole time when it's up like that you're waiting for it to break and it never just been terrific as a hitter that missed off and obviously doing terrific on the mountain today can he get on again makes a living on the bases oh good pitch there that time from [Music] [Applause] zakai on the ground to short fielded cleanly and Bo away two quick outs Liam morrisy now up right down the middle taking all the way first pitch we've seen a lot of first pitch breaking balls he's not expecting the fast ball now they can go to work with that off speed pitch if he wants to there's one laced in the left field morrisy saw it up and he delivered a hit and another it's coming it's coming here he goes to Second they will throw and now morrisy is in a run down and he just is okay cuz the ball popped out of the glove and it goes out of play and man the first baseman Yen Chun his hand is hurt they're going to send morresy to Third [Applause] [Music] Base they were looking for The Interpreter The Interpreter is there so two bases and they're going to go it's two bases regardless infielder outfielder I think more so what they're asking about is whether there was an intentional knock Visa Alex Rodriguez keep an eye on 15 does he do anything intentional to knock the ball out of the glove no I don't think so I mean the tags on his leg and he's actually trying to get out of the way yeah or jump towards the the base he got his wrist right on that hip it wasn't even the glove his wrist is what hit that hip bone yeah and you look at Kyle bone over there first like what is going on here and then to his surprise the ball's in the air and talking to Jonathan Anderson because we saw a Tage yesterday steel home I'm going to be out this is now turned into a huge play standing at third base he should be able to stay you've got callow who's been swinging a really hot bat the last couple games coming up to bat right now yeah K's probably next to bibo the guy you'd want at the plate right now if you were Florida just giv his hitting ability middle to bottom of the lineup guys have been very very good as we know Yen Chun actually if we're talking about safety he's looks pretty good over there after hurting his wrist so that's a good sign he's leading off next inning so another big bat for Ty scare going away cow the next hitter up with a walk his first time up K had a big double in that game yesterday and a lot on the line right here on this call given how the Outfield plays you know a runner at third is a whole different story than a runner at second and obviously a ball that may be mistakenly played booted on the infield you score from third you don't score from second they've been really quick with their decisions I'm surprised this one's taken so long home to tie the game callow's a cool customer up [Applause] there and Morris's real quick not that there's a lot of balls to get away from this catcher here we go with Kell and two down in the fourth ball ball off ball one you know who Taj Alexander is up next 78 pitches thrown you can throw 85 [Applause] challenged him up top it's been a successful spot for him and we go [Applause] 1-1 leis caros walked six times to go with those three hits oh boy there's a good one right there right at the top of the Zone it's one and [Applause] two sequencing breaking ball fast ball breaking ball looking for a two strike two out clutch [Applause] hit o that was close he went with a fast ball down and in and callow didn't [Applause] offer that was outside the good eye great eye and the more he's seeing the more comfortable he look legs are underneath them poison ready to go [Applause] here and that ball to right field it is caught out there by way Cho what a play on a hard hit ball by Lise call they threaten again got one hit leaded one nothing defense has been sparkling on both sides and the two pitchers have been really good that limiting damage fairly weak contact that was a pretty good hit there by call but a nice play in right field to 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 hu Yen Yun and he now has eight hits at this Little League World Series he's been their best hitter hit balls down Third Base nothing you can do there look his hands doing just fine he's the one that had the play at first base was base hit some guys just have a knack here hard hit balls find grass Pang y Yen swings at the first one rare and he fouls it straight back every base runner every run critical now taipe team that in this series hasn't lost they've given up four total runs and this one to center field morrisy broke back now comes in and he is a vacuum out there guess what's getting start to one down for linen Kai and that is a swing a slow ephus pitch in there how about Taiwan starting off now swinging more aggressive early we've seen three first pitch swings when that was kind of a half swing normally they've been all take switching the mode here in the fifth [Applause] OH Anderson and Alexander up the middle looking for a ground ball a potential double play at the edge of the grass at third base is Feliciano oh two balls in one strike a hair High On That pitch eo's pitch count relative to that first inning when he faced seven guys is in really good shape and they still have lean Norton if they want him get the call two balls two strikes see now when you have that approach though you're going to take until you get a strike or two and the guys throwing strikes you got to figure out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Anderson out there at shortstop is making for 10 plays anticipating a ball being hit to him he had some swings I think he did a grand slam last inning from short heads up head up he safe too high no too down what happened fell down resarch down Atara you all right what are we doing Mikey notes everyone's trying to make a play oh that ball hammered to the left center field Gap going over not being able to get it roosen morresy picks it up fires it in Anderson has it a double on a hard hit ball by Lin sen Kai and they have two in scoring position with one out in the fifth I where he likes it his swing path is an uppercut swing timing was there splits the outfielders boom here they come boom is right boy second in on the [Applause] [Music] corners and Anderson's going to come out to talk to his pitcher it's the first man they've had in scoring position since the first inning great job great job all right you're going to go hey it's only his second hit so the guys who haven't produced in the case of sen Kai did there Norton has thrown 86% of his pitches for strikes oh that one's a little bit High Julie brav I did talk to to lean's Mom Stephanie said he was actually dehydrated they thought so they've been watering him up feeding him up and his older brother Chase came in for three hours to catch this game she said that'll be the energy he needs welle appreciate that Julie it is two balls and a [Applause] Strike wow for a guy that has thrown all strikes all of a sudden lean Norton finds himself behind three and one gra would you leave the middle of the infield back no you got to bring him up at least halfway I know I know um Yen Chun is not the fastest at third but I know they got great arms too you got to come up here lano's your short stop now Anderson at second and that's a walk a rare rare walk for lean Norton and now the bases are [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] loaded well the game very much in the balance right here walk the only batter in this lineup that doesn't have a hit for Taiwan now you get to some of the even though we're at the bottom of the order the batters that have definitely been able to produce the last few days it's amazing how close Masis is at first base strike one to get ahead of Swang Jun he struck out his first time up and barring a double play Norton would love a strike out [Applause] here oh dehydrated to the point yesterday that he didn't even play in the game and when you take Norton out you remove one of your best hitters but he was really down and now back on the mound one ball one strike Bas is [Applause] loaded very late there it is now one and two sometimes when you do that fake bunt your timing might be off and J Tai I think kind of sees that and wants everybody to come together something second time we've seen this happen okay okay okay okay [Applause] [Music] okay he's given him some very specific batting advice you can still see him demonstrating what he wants him to do here that last swing he wasn't close see if it helps Swang Jun on a onew 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 that you could have maybe been in that gray area but Fano made the play and now you come down to Lun e hold up hold up the pressure that these kids have with these opportunities not coming through and the man the pitcher just coming through each time and this has been hectic to say the least Force out any base they are loaded inside one and0 Jun e is two for [Applause] 12 not a lot of noise being gets the call on the corner noron has that calling timeout here kind of turns his head doesn't see and he just whips it around for strike if these runers do anything crazy you focus on that guy don't go get these guys don't throw the ball somewhere to give them an extra run okay just letting you know attack this guy get him [Applause] slider that had some movement away from Tage and it's 0 and one seems like whenever they try and get one out of there they got to throw that breaking pitch First Strike Falls right off stay on it to the 1-1 delivery yes sir nice breaking pitch in there one and two to Alexander seven K in five innings he's got that breaking ball oh fast ball he'll go to off of it both sides of the plate really good pitch on the corner very impressive first batter for cha and he picks up the strike out of Alexander 10th batter of 12 in the continuous batting water and that breaking pitch misses who doesn't like to eat a donut and listen to music it's work for Christopher he's got six hits here in Williamsport another too far outside 2 and0 you're Florida you really want to get back to the top as productive as the bottom was it's the Andersons felicos and Roos since you want to get to bounced up the middle that's going to be a tough one it had a lot of Top Spin and boy chadr continues to get we'll start at 6 Eastern baseball tonight Sunday night countdown Wan Norton watch that one go all the way into the glove Lake Barry has had at least one base runner every inning of the [Applause] game dropped down a little bit did wh [Applause] air the breaking City Thrones just missed a little too far outside to the lefties two and [Applause] one y good pitch yeah there's a difference of just throwing it and trying to be too cute that one there Just Let it Loose a little bit longer finished out in front [Applause] good spoil that one was coming back towards the Norton gone fast ball away and Joe wayel looks like a closer out there with his mix of breaking pitch and fast ball there are two down here's Hunter [Music] Alexander breaking pitches off unlike taipe one thing you don't see the United States teams doing very often squaring to bunt certainly this team hasn't done [Applause] that that's off as well two and0 with Anderson the good hitting leadoff Man On Deck I think two is chawe T does not throw anything 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 and into second and scoring position goes chadr boy you don't see that at [Applause] all first pass ball he's had the entire tournament y on a play it goes two and two Jess made the point first pass ball of the tournament and Mikey notes Here Mike Naro our researcher that was the 59 first pitch and it's the first one to get by him that's crazy oh oh that was a close pitch good breaking ball on the inside corner a little up it goes full three and two 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 six since then all quiet a ton of face Runners for the US ball first pitch from lean Norton is a ball one 1112 top of the order for Chinese taipe and there for a strike to Yong will they break through they've had so many chances laid on that one and the top of the order for Florida is coming up in the bottom of the six rallied against Texas yesterday double the amount of hits they've threatening every inning it's a spot they're comfortable with that's for sure onew strike out of jungha one down in the six last hitter in the order they move up at third base he chokes up and he's got three hits here squared and that strike [Applause] [Music] one beaten on the ground Feliciano decides to back up and that's another quick out they've had so Fielder a walk and a ground he scored the only run of the game when he swings and fouls it back loves Walt Disney is coming into this game to close it [Applause] out yep they've gotten great pitching from bio and so far Norton with the exception of the first inning and the two walks and a hit batter they've induced weak contact on Chinese taipe aead one zip on an 02 called 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 Championships [Applause] everything has been a away to the lefties whether it's the breaking ball their fast ball you see Chase just kind of creeping on the plate getting his toes on that line they know they've got a game plan coming in ball great great take by Anderson it's three balls and a strike locked in that's all I can say right now he is locked in seeing every pitch does he challenge him with a fast ball 3-1 oh it hit him and wow the lead off man goes down to First hard to change this one you know the question to me isn't necessarily but this is going to be very hard to change [Applause] yeah you're not really supposed to go over there turn the replay either call it a strike it would be either a ball or a hit by pitch in this case he got hit right on the hand and when you see the next angle it certainly looks like his hand when you draw a line straight down is close to being out over the plate does the Empire have the discretion to say that's still a ball because it was up it wasn't going to be a strike that's the only issue right now in my opinion I think it's over the plate the [Music] [Applause] ball but I also think it's up to as well yeah yeah first base hit by pitch not a strike it's set up now for Florida again every single inning they've had a base runner on Lano 5 for 17 couple of homers five RBI ball ball [Applause] one pass ball right down the middle one ball one strike think about what cha is feeling you look on the you look at third base Tong how I don't know why he's playing 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 up and he made the catch in Center yeah he reacts in then be able to go back and jump I mean he loses this ball once he's got to get the glove over his head I think everyone in the stadium thought for sure that was dropping in he takes away and here's roosen what good pitch and a breaking [Applause] ball [Applause] ball a walk fielders Choice a couple of homers three RBI [Applause] another slow off speed pitch took a little something off of it you see that front hip right there pulling off two as well same thing on left on left keep that thing straight forward square that up you have a better chance it's getting loud on a [Applause] onew oh oh boy little down just the fact that he can throw that pitch both sides of the plate yes so [Applause] impressive to go oh they called him out on a swing I don't think he Landon Bono takes the wind out of here a little bit too that would have been a Full Count oh baby oh you felt the crowd I mean they were on their feet all of Florida the stadium you're still alive still got an out to play with and you got your home run hitter [Applause] up the game that Lake Marius had 13 base runners oh [Applause] one ball one strike if ever you want a guy up with the right on Lefty match this is the guy right here Bono yes it [Applause] [Music] is oh you can see the bite he wants to go I mean he is ready for something low in the zone every Lefty hitter knee high that is the cookie Zone to hit something out of the park two and one three balls on the strike he is locked in during the Derby he was launching home runs to right field right center [Applause] field oh that's going to be ball four and down to second base goes Anderson to bring up DJ looks like they will put a runner in for Bono [Applause] is it time for DJ miasis to deliver the biggest hit of his young [Music] [Applause] life the Asus is he struck out twice they've had runners in scoring position every inning and haven't scored yet ball one to meis bio who has been a hitting machine would be next up he just missed a fast ball up his last a bat two fouled it off no just more difficult every pitch six balls in a row they have stranded nine oh there's one to hit this one shallow left field it's tring 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 dropped by Chung Hall two oh breaking pitch leveled off the swing just touched it got it right over the short Stop's head the play what if at Le see him round in third here boy that would have been really close you told b as a pitcher to go back up the play Carl we talked about this all week long what if like yesterday's game this Florida team doesn't back down one run away now from winning the whole thing winning run very fast runner at third Rosen on the corner for a strike DJ Masis delivers the big single [Applause] b a 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 we are tied at [Applause] one Florida feels very comfortable with Norton on the mound because he has a strike rower and there he is to get ahead two three and four up here for Chinese taipe zakai gyri and [Applause] shenal doesn't matter what you do he is going to throw strikes so this team should be ready to hit [Music] [Applause] here ball one ball and two strikes we've seen the pullback of the bunt a dozen times by the Tai hitters Ka got only two hits here in Williamsport and he will be gone he will not get a third he Strikes Out predominantly fast ball back at 07 here's J Ray on the corner strike [Applause] one 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 the a couple times in the game yesterday against Texas this wasn't even a strike either off the plate just poked it through seeing Taiwan be a little bit more aggressive in these late Innings and now you get to their cleanup hitter good hitter too Lea Shan how three for 12 he's got five RB 0 for two [Music] today w we've seen a lot of double plays This World Series to these two up the middle could turn them with the best of 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 nothing you can do that's just by you same way that bio has eight hits for Florida this guy right here hen Jun has eight hits in this world series for Tai he has two for two today with a couple of singles what no he's just going to go warm up right yeah seems like they're getting on the fast ball so we're going to get them to warm up you're going you're going there I'm going to get out of yeah I know you're going back to third Chase you're going to short you're going to second okay you're going to get us out of this I know it double plays happen right here here at the little league on the line buan Jun good contact hitter he stands very close to the plate again swing in a miss [Applause] very fast outfielders in left and center with roosen and morresy who's been terrific in [Applause] Center yep at the letters it's 0 and two [Applause] Orton shakes off the first one he's ready to go [Applause] now popped up maybe playable Here Comes Bono no he had no chance hit off the top of that railing there interesting Feliciano he came about halfway then he said you know not going to go back cuz if he catches it I don't want that Runner tag from second and Bono is such a reliable catcher he's probably going to get it if there's a play game of inches though boner was there to make the play and it rang off the [Applause] railing nice swing right there this guy they haven't got out this whole game they they've rarely got him out in this tournament [Applause] anybody and if he had a slower breaking ball that might be one pitch a go but everything seems to be hard hard and hard he's hitting 800 he's 8 for 10 at the World Series who hen June oh boy another one he went with a fast ball he fouled it straight back it's an interesting quandry J in Fr because a breaking pitch down and Away you maybe get him to chase but if he doesn't you run the risk of it getting by Bono is good as he's been you don't want to runner at third and second in this situation with just one out's got all the confidence right now on the fast ball you can tell how much he's commanding it we haven't seen that same confidence in the breaking [Applause] ball G feels warm he's coming in but right now it's lean Norton's game Extra Innings Little League World Series Championship taipe after their first since 1996 in Florida after their first title [Applause] ever G Ray is at second Shen how is at first deep breaths all around another one popped up Bono now picks it up here it comes he makes the play behind the plate not an easy play for a catcher little bit on those hands right there and Bono figures out where he needs to be turns the right [Applause] way and this one may be playable for Feliciano he's over there and yes he makes the play in foul territory Norton said I'm going to get us out of this and he did morisy callow and teraj Alexander bottom seven to win it face either that was the only run that Florida has scored it has been wild and it's everything you'd want in a championship game Chinese taipe won Florida one and for Florida it'll be Liam morresy the center field and win a championship first one for the State of [Applause] Florida back one to [Applause] Liam everything you could ask for in a championship game Extra [Applause] Innings one ball and one strike got one a hit fou it straight Liam's Got That Swing where you're just kind of waiting for that extra base hit he's got a couple so he actually brought a glove today to go with the batting glove and the hat and the hair and the pants and it comes complete with a whole bunch whole bunch of anxiety that is called strike three it got a piece to the inside corner and Morris he gone on a late breaker he kind of knew it too he told you like contact here LS callow wow on the corner for strike one whole bunch of room down that left field line really good arm out there and left as well oh one ball one strike [Applause] ready on a 1-1 to callow nope two balls and a [Applause] strike he's got that sleeve on that left arm he wears it because his buddy his hero Freddy Freeman does as well Grandma named him sweet Lou couple years ago it's sticks oh and sweet Lou now looks at a 3-1 favorable count for the [Applause] hit oh another base runner for Lake Mary at least one in all seven Innings that we played and here comes to Raj alexand center field Gap where he lives all day double machine [Applause] that's going to be called you just stay there I mean breaking ball sweeping over the plate like that low and [Applause] away oh that was in his real house Taj Alexander favorite players in order he says Hank Aaron Satchel Paige Jackie Robinson did a project in fourth grade on Hammer and Hank he would love to do what hammer and Hank has done so many times and leave the yard he's got the kind of Swing stays Inside Out does a really good job right center field o and two going to protect now stays alive another breaking pitch where they are not afraid to throw a breaking pitch in any count we have had 250 pitches thrown in this [Applause] game T to was here in 09 didn't win it says it has been with him since [Applause] then quick pitch on the corner called strike three Alex Ander is out paint right there nothing you can do ball got all the Christopher chicken Ro having a good day two for two couple of seeing eye singles and a breaking pitch bent in there for strike one how about these kids pitching under these conditions strike after strike after strike [Applause] [Music] B missed away tell you what Ravi if he hits one in the right center field Gap this might be game over that Gap is so big right field is playing on the line center field a tick over the left Christopher 11 years young four for his last four he calls [Applause] time and now one down the left field line it's a fair ball K 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 say go feet away and as you said Todd what if I think it's the right call at the same time looking back I mean do you know the that and Christopher eight for 13 okay it's all set for you bubba whoe here your brother right show him can lean Norton deliver a championship for Lake [Applause] Mary thought last year was good how about this year I like it though aggressive early you're not going to see a whole lot of strikes that are hitable chia knows he's looking at him after every pitch you're not going to steal here oh and two and trouble now for Norton who has struck out twice Anderson is down there talking to both callow at third base and Chik at second who one is irrelevant but maybe he creates something on the base pass set up way outside we got it we got [Applause] it opportunity after opportunity for Lake Mary he swings and misses and and we go to the e [Applause] oh boy those decisions remember pitcher cuts the ball off on that play at home Florida ties the game Anderson the manager holds callow at third on a ball that ultimately was bobbled by the third baseman could have won the game could have would have should [Applause] have I'm just excited now we got a runner on second so we got strategy you know they're going to come with a short game I mean that's kind of automatic it's what they do [Music] seventh hitter in the [Applause] order not there didn't look like it 0 and one maybe the most comfortable guy they feel with at the plate swinging the [Applause] [Music] bat no hosen is a third baseman for leano at Short Anderson at second on the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] corner 02 yes sir strike three right on the corner and Lin sen Kai never swung the bat that is a big out talk man oh my God three straight fast balls oh yeah all of them for strikes never took the bat off his shoulder and then you think back maybe they should have bun I don't know you don't know what he was thinking there is it time for light for 13 here in Williamsport swings and fouls one back foul ball [Applause] cha wasn't sure if it was fouled so he had his runner at third and every single person rooting for Florida was screaming foul foul foul [Applause] [Music] [Applause] allall o and one to Chun she oh one and one he was letting the Umpire know too that wasn't there Shi put up near record numbers as far as strikeouts at the Little League World Series now he just wants to do it once with the bat out of play popped up behind us one and two [Music] [Applause] interesting that they go away from small ball especially with somebody even like Chun she with one of put a ball down get to third maybe a wild pitch scores you but 0 for 13 no attempt to [Applause] bunt and we've seen them do it like Bases Loaded this tournament I mean totally times their number three hitter yeah I was just going to say the three hole hitter got the bunk down that's how they got the guy in scoring position and scored one well yen is the automatic Runner that gets put on the base he's out there at second would be the go-ahead run of the 1-1 game the onew and this ball might be playable Masis going over into that nook and cranny and no we've seen a whole bunch of plays made right next to that camera well where that indent is and the Asis has actually made a catch over there [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 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 the ground ball out for J she two down smooth as silk again a breaking ball that stays up came through it not worried about the runner money throw to first base two outs here runner on second went none can he get out of this with no damage swung Jay strike out slide out to short he's got his hands into that bunt position as pull back and swung and he was about to do that there it's one and0 the numbers for the bottom of the order for Taiwan the 9 through 12 have not gotten a [Applause] hit but it's little league so anything can happen because they've all gotten hits during the summer swinging a Miss there come up will come up the only question is will it be tied or will they be trailing 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 who is on the ground after rounding first slammed his for the outgoing president of little league International Steve kener who's been doing this for four plus decades and if you're going to go out how about going out with an Extra Inning game to decide the championship we thank Steve for all he is done here and his impact on Little League cannot be cannot can base Norton he gets it down oh it's perfect he throwing it away like Barry's going to win the Little League World Series [Applause] [Music] Championship Chinese Taipei in shock it was fielded and thrown to first base nobody was there on an incredible bunt by the last hitter in the order punter alexand and for the first time Florida are Little League World Series champions 2 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 not to Florida who's the big Bashers lazy it down perfectly to end up walking it off on a bunt on a bunt incredible Hunter Alexander you were waiting 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 baseman'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 the game here and in their eighth game here in Williamsport celebrates an eighth spinning 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 won a being this many times and this is how they do it un [Music] what I do was [Music] I go to go [Music] my good I'm so [Music] okay okay [Music]
