joining us once again in Williamsport Todd Frasier Mike Monaco with you Sebastian Salazar joins us in a moment this a big game both these teams have said the other is a rival they admitt to some pregame nerves and we start with Japan who's only had to throw two pitchers here in K iwashita and Yuki suji well it starts with pitching if you're a good little league team ISAC can do it iita has 19 K thrown and 21 outs that's absolutely incredible and we'll see suji on the mount hey sample size two k two batters don't worry about that they can throw with the best of them holding opponents to 180 Japan Team come out here and see what they can do from a city in Tokyo the largest in the world that has produced nine of Japan's 11 Little League World Series titles all right Taiwan on the flip side has played three games steamrolled through all of them and how about the performance from choe in their last game he hit a grand slam and he was the starting pitcher you're talking about my best friend this is my buddy he puts a little English on the ball when he swings attacking a slider right there to put them ahead against Cuba they were slow playing this game as we saw and Cho to comes in and says don't worry I'm going deep and then the pitching staff goes out there and dominates they have 28ks as a team we're going to see a good pitching match up and we're going to see dominant outcome by both teams buckle up this going to be pretty good one Michael and check this out Todd last 14 years highest run differential through the first three games Taiwan is among the best in recent memory well for more on the team from TW in Taiwan here's sebie guys I'm down here with a parents and family of Guan L leag they've traveled almost 8,000 miles to be here no doubt about it you can hear they're bringing the energy they're ready to go but the win here in Williamsport you need a little more than energy you need some luck you need to be superstitious So to that end let me take you back to Monday taiwan's game against Cuba before the game our very own Todd frasers he just mentioned went down to visit with the boys and snaap this picture with Cho waya now choa told me that the advice he got ending a reunion with the one and only Todd [Applause] Fraser look at this oh look take another picture right you and me let's do it boom let's get this off here let's go let's go take a picture bam we're good now I'm maybe another home run we don't know how about the respect from his boys they knew not to be in the picture with you guys they knew but after that I did get a picture with all them so we're going to see about 15 home runs today huge ball game between Taiwan and Japan packed house ready to go for four games today Nevada and Texas both undefeated coming next and then those last four teams all need to win to stay alive at this Baseball Heaven in Williams Court 22 back toward the wall Gone Big Pitch Big Moment the giant Slayers from Tokyo heavyweight Showdown and this team from As sebie Told You T about 8,000 Mi away from Williamsport in Northwestern Taiwan and a top industrial city on the island let's meet the kid have only allowed five hits in total but this will be their toughest test yet a dozen strong from tan facing Japan so K iwashita you said has thrown 9 and a third of the 10 Innings Japan's played Yuki suuji got two strikeouts for the other two outs but now he gets the ball with iwashita unable to throw today yeah lanky arm here not the tallest but when you have long arms that makes it a little harder to see as a hitter the extension the follow through here you're going to see a Japan team here I've been so impressed with this team the catcher is the leader and our guy tomoki wanabi my man is going to be yelling and screaming and there's not going to be many mistakes coaches admitted to some nerves pre game and admitted this is a rivalry and here we go for a trip to the International Championship it's a four pitch mix from Yuki suji he starts out with a breaking ball to Cho way sa nickname madg proud owner of now two photos with you [Applause] two he's three for eight here with that grand slam a double two walks one day against Cuba we told you he was also the starting pitcher and went two and 2/3 without an earned run he go no swing so Yuki suji got fast curveball slider and change up we were told pre from I had good luck Line Drive left center field Cho way he's going to take photos with you everywhere and bringing you back to Taiwan with him listen why not when he gives the sign to the lean back this is how you start a game to make it to the National Championship what a swing 2-1 count sitting down Dead red fast ball on the outer half he wants extension take it bow big man another good picture right there what a swing good start for the taipe choe S fourth hit here and an early base runner against Yuki suuji in Japan and now the ever patient Cho saai Kai the center fielder he's had 10 PL appearances and he's walked six times that's really good you you know you you thought you'd see maybe a bun attempt here to try and get him over he's going to take a pitch or two and try and figure a way to get him over here now he bunts it's a good one Yuki sui not in time bunt single to one just like I say it right there it was a solid bunt for you at home watch and you catch the ball you don't try and poke it you look at the third baseman there hreo did not move it's one of those plays where hey was designed he's not coming in suji's fast enough but not fast enough to get the runner at first base what a start here for Chinese taipe and CH sa Kai has now reached base eight times in 11 trips and the three hitter for Taiwan ow R the catcher three driven in three walks and he's been hit by a pitch it's a leader and the team captain on this team it's nothing in t [Applause] Lee chunta is the manager it's his fourth time leading a Taiwanese team here you're trying to Lodge with him next year I told him he needs to invest in some property here that's all I mean pretty simple here comes the infield in he just told his hitter not to be nervous ahead of an 02 o just miss from Yuki [Applause] suji tell you what you're seeing here Japan in their infield we saw today was absolutely incredible a lot of movement a lot of pressure a lot of hard hit ball so these guys in if anything hard hit they're going to knock it down one two have you ever seen an infield of little eagers taken the way they do never never I wouldn't even know where to start to teach the young kids to do that that was awesome and he was firing balls off his Bat I I could have sworn they missed about 15 to 20 just because of how hard he hit it he was smoking singles up the middle oh one two hold to left Fair ball down the line for UTA R Cho wait saw scores Cho saai behind him to zip [Applause] Taiwan well the train keeps on moving here fast ball up up and in clears the hips keeps this ball Fair cha getting him on the board some of the hardest hit balls you'll see against a Japan team here you rarely see this they came to play today Mike on ow R's cheering section loves it it's like the exact opposite of what they did against Cuba they slow played him here they said I'm coming out and attacking today I'm not wasting any time and they've gotten some fast balls to hit as we've seen yeah they were down two nothing into the fourth Monday against Cuba down 21 into the fifth before that grand slam Lea schuna is the left fielder in cleanup now he had a five RBI game on Friday against Australia was three for three in that [Applause]
