THE RUNNERS ON THE CORNERS AND JUST ONE OUT. MOMENTS LATER, THE BATTER WILL SMACK A LINE DRIVE HIT TO SQUARE DAX RIGHT THIGH. HE LOSES THE BALL, THE RUN SCORES.

SOUTHWEST LITTLE LEAGUE HAS MADE IT TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. 5 MOVED OUT HERE N IS SAW BEEN OUT HERE ABOUT 40 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. BERNIE, SUCH A WONDERFUL TOWN. YOU KNOW WHERE THEY'RE COMING AND BACKING OF 100%. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY, NOT JUST FOR YOUR YOUR YOUR FAMILY, BUT THIS, THIS COMMUNITY. >> HOW SPECIAL HAS IT BEEN FOR YOU GUYS SAID DAY GAME AFTER GAME. BE ABLE TO COME IN AND WATCH THIS TEAM HAVE SO MUCH SUCCESS. THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE. IT'S A PRICELESS. AND I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, BERNIE. >>O PRD. IEAN,'VMET SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I DIDN'T KNOW MISTER MOON. YES, UNTIL NOW. AND I FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WORK BECOMING FAMILY. >> THAT'S SUCH A BIG PART OF WHAT WE SAW TODAY. THE TEAM MEMBERS WHO MAYBE HAVEN'T MET EACH OTHER BEFORE THIS REALLY COMING TOGETHER BEHIND THIS BIRDIE ALL-STARS TEAM. AND AS YOU MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS 3RD PLACE GAME WILL NOW BE PLAYED TOMORROW AGAINST V LET'S SEND YOU BACK OUT TO WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA, AND CHECK IN WITH OUR MARY ROMINGER. >> WE ALL KNEW TEXAS VERSUS FLORIDA WOULD MAKE FOR AN INSTANT CLASSIC IN THIS GAME. LIVED UP TO THE EXPECTATION. BOTH TEAMS PUT ON A HARD FIGHT AND THE FAN BASE IS FOR BOTH SIDES. TEXAS AND FLORIDA DEFINITELY SHOWED OUT TODAY. I WAS ABLE TO WALK AROUND THE CONCOURSE HERE AT LAMA, THE STADIUM AND TALK TO BERNIE FANS BEFORE THE GAME. THEY WERE ANXIOUS SO EXCITED. AND IF YOU WATCH THE GAME, YOU KNOW, THOSE EMOTIONS WERE VERY FITTING BECAUSE THAT WAS A ROLLER COASTER OF THE GAME. THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE FLORIDA SHINE THERE WERE MOMENTS WHERE BERNIE SHINE AND THE STADIUM WAS VERY LOUD. IT WAS A MEMORABLE GAME. BERNIE, OF COURSE. COMING UP SHORT. BUT THEY'LL PLAY FOR THE 3RD PLACE GAME AGAINST BACK. IT'S ALMOST TIME TO WRAP UP THE SHOW, BUT LET'S GO BACK OUT TO WILLIAMSPORT AND CHECK IN WITH MARY AND MARY. NOT THE OUTCOME THAT WE WERE HOPING FOR. WAS IT? >> NOT AT ALL, LARRY. BUT WHAT A THRILLING GAME. YOU REALLY CAN NOT FORGET WHAT A SHOW WE AT THIS FIELD BEHIND ME LLAMA THSTADM HE IN WILLIAMSPORT. SO THEY'VE ALL NEVER FORGET THAT. YES, UNFORTUNATE OUTCOME FOR BERNIE. >> AFTER THE GAME, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE ON HOW JULIAN HURST HIS SHOULDER AND ELBOW ARE AND HOW DOC MARK FIRTS FI IS AFTER TAKING THAT LINE DRIVE OFF OF HIS TIE. >> YOU KNOW, I WISH AHEAD AN UPDATE. THEY BOTH DEFINITELY SEEMED UNCOMFORTABLE. I WAS SITTING OUT IN THE STANDS. I WAS ABLE TO KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON THEM IN THE BULLPEN, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BOTH OF THEM. AND WITH THEM NOT TALKING AFTER THE GAME. NO UPDATES, BUT HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR POSITIVE UPDATES ON HOW THEY'RE DOING SOON. >> SO YOU ARE OUT THERE. OBVIOUSLY, YOU'VE BEEN OUT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. YOU'VE SEEN THE EXCITEMENT ABOUT ALL YOU'VE SEEN, OBVIOUSLY KIND OF THE DOWNER SIDE OF IT. NOW WITH BERNIE LOSING TODAY. WHAT'S YOUR TIME BEEN LIKE OUT THERE MEAN IT'S ON MY BUCKET LIST. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO GO OUT THERE. SO YOU'RE KIND OF LIVING OUT A DREAM OF MINE. >> LARRY, THE LOCATION IS STUNNING. THE PEOPLE ARE SO FRIENDLY GETTING TO SEE THE KIDS LIVE OUT THEIR DREAMS ON THIS STAGE. AGAIN, IT'S SOMETHING I WILL NEVER FORGET. THE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. SO I HOPE FOR YOUR SAKE, YOU CAN GET OUT YOUR NEXT TIME WHEN BERNIE MAKES ANOTHER RUN. BUT YES, TRULY, IT'S BEEN AWESOME OUT HERE AND IT'S ALWAYS THIS STAGE TO SEE THE KIDS SUFFERED DISAPPOINTMENT. BUT NONETHELESS, WITH A LOOK BACK AT IT, IT WILL BE A MEMORY WILL NEVER FORGET. >> WELL, BERNIE IS A WINNER, NONETHELESS. I KNOW THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE MUCH COMFORT IN THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY WILL PLAY IN THE 3RD PLACE GAME TOMORROW AGAINST VENEZUELA. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THAT GAME? >> I THINK BERNIE WILL COME OUT JUST LIKE THEY HAVE AFTER EVERY TIME THEY FACED ADVERSITY, WHICH HASN'T BEEN MUCH IN THIS TOURNAMENT. I THINK THEY'LL WANT REDEMPTION. AND I SAW A LITTLE BIT OF VENEZUELA TODAY AGAINST CHINESE TAIPEI. AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, CHINESE TAIPEI IS A TOUGH, TOUGH TEAM. SO MAYBE THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT WORN DOWN AFTER FACING A TEAM LIKE THAT. AND BERNIE CAN COME OUT VICTORIOUS IN GET THAT 3RD PLACE. >> ABSOLUTELY. WE ARE ALL
