IT HAPPENED AND TIME TO -- BRAND NEW GAME. TIME TO HELP YOUR TEAM MOVE ON IN THE TOURNAMENT. I THINK FOR HIM, HE KEEPS GOING OUT AND POUNDING STRIKE ZONES. >> DOM LaBRANCHE LEADS OFF FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND THAT IS STRIKE ONE TO HIM. LaBRANCHE, ONE OF THE FEW 11-YEAR-OLDS IN LITTLE LEAGUE. >> ACTUALLY, IN A LITTLE LESS THAN A WEEK.

IT WAS HIS FATHER'S 50th BIRTHDAY SATURDAY, HIS TEAM GOT THE WIN, TO STAY ALIVE, AND HE IS POINTING TO THE STANDS, PROBABLY THE REST OF HIS FAMILY AFTER A TWO-RUN SHOT, AND NO OUTS AND ALREADY A LEAD FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. TRISTAN LUCIER TO THE PLATE. >> HE STANDS FAR FROM THE PLATE. >> THAT WILL DRIBBLE FOUL DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE. 0-1. >> THAT IS A SWINGING BUNT. HE HAS ANOTHER SHOT HERE. PUT SOMETHING IN PLAY. >> I NOTICE IN THE SWING, HE STARTS TO CLOSE, AND HE STAYS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE -- HIS LEFT FOOT IS IN FRONT OF HIS BACK FOOT. THAT IS HOW HE IS ABLE TO REACH THE PITCHER. >> NICKNAME, THE BIG 5'8", 135 POUNDS. ONE OF THE BEST HOCKEY PLAYERS, NOT ONLY IN NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR HIS AGE BUT IN THE NORTHEAST REGION. JUST A TERRIFIC ATHLETE, AND THE NEW HAMPSHIRE TEAM HAS A LOT OF ATHLETES, AND LUCIER, THE CREAM OF THE CROP. >> HIS BROTHER, AND TONS OF OTHER PLAYERS ON THE TEAM. >> A BALL AND A STRIKE TO HIM. FOULS ANOTHER ONE BACK, 1-2. ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SKYLINE HERE FROM WILLIAMSPORT JUST OUTSIDE LAMADIE STADIUM. A LOT OF RAIN OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS, BUT NONE TODAY. SCORCHING HEAT ON THE RADAR. THE LAST ONE THROUGH THE HOLE, AND IN RIGHT FIELD, AND THREE STRAIGHT HITS TO GET THE PARTY STARTED FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> IF YOU'RE THE PITCHER WHAT DO YOU THINK RIGHT NOW? >> YOU HAVE TO START HITTING, AND THAT IS A BREAKING BALL, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. AND JUST -- YOU JUST ARE ABLE TO HIT THE BALL WELL. JUST HIT YOUR SPOT, AND USE THE CORNERS OF THE PLATE AND NOT TRY TO USE IT DOWN THE MIDDLE TOO MUCH. >> HERE IS TRISTAN'S BROTHER CALEN. >> HE HAD IT HARD TO MAKE CONTACT ON. >> HE IS 5'8", 140. THE 0-1. MAKE IT 0-2. FINDING IT ON THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE ZONE. HERE IS ROBERTSON. HE'S ALREADY GIVEN UP THREE HITS IN THREE BATTERS FACED. 1-1 PITCH. OREGON LOST YESTERDAY UP AGAINST SOUTH DAKOTA 3-1. WON THE FIRST GAME AGAINST PENNSYLVANIA. 8-2. THIS IS POPPED UP IN THE INFIELD, AND BECKETT HEHER, WHO FINALLY GETS AN OUT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. THAT WILL BRING UP KEITH TOWNSEND WHOSE FATHER BLAIR COACHES ON THE TEAM. >> HE'S A QUIET KID AND HE LOVES TO HIT, AND HE WANTS TO MAKE SOMEBODY HAPPEN HERE. >> HE'S A BIG WASHINGTON CAPITALS FAN, AND HIS FAVORITE PLAYER IS ALEX OVECHKIN. HE IS ALSO A OHTANI FAN. HE WAS HAPPY TO SEE HIM. SWING AND A MISS. THE LITTLE LEAGUE ASKS THE KIDS THE SAME QUESTION, AND HE SAID HE WOULD GIVE 10% OF HIS MONEY TO HIS FRIENDS. I WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND. IF I'M GETTING 10% OF THAT. >> I THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. >> HE GOES BACK TO THE DUGOUT NOW. >> GO HANG WITH THE 12-YEAR-OLDS. >> HEY, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT UP HERE IN THE BOOTH. TWO OUTS, RUNNER ON FIRST, AND ROBERTSON ABOUT TO THROW HIS 20th PITCH OF THE INNING. IT IS FOULED OFF. >> I NOTICE HE IS REALLY WORKING THE OUTSIDE CORNER NOW, GIVING UP THE THREE HITS, HE IS POUNDING THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE PLATE, AND HOPEFULLY HE CAN STAY OUT THERE, AND MIX IT UP WITH INSIDE MIXES AS WELL. >> AND TIM DEVALL, THE MANAGER, DESCRIBES HIM AS A TEAM RINGER. HE IS A MULTISPORT ATHLETE. HE DIDN'T PLAY BASEBALL AT ALL. THE COUNT NOW, 0-2 FROM AGES 7 TO 10. IS AND ONE OF HIS TEAMMATES, TIMMY EVANS, SAID HE WANTED HIM TO PLAY, AND HE'S A SUPERSTAR ATHLETE. YOU SAID THAT ROBERTSON IS WORKING THE OUTSIDE CORNER, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE PITCHES FROM HIM? >> HE IS WORKING. AND THE STRIKEOUT LOOKING. SO WHY MOVE AWAY FROM IT IF IT'S WORKING FOR YOU. >> THE 1-2 PITCH. THIS IS GROUNDED FOUL. TO RIGHT FIELD. AND 1-2. >> HARD TO CATCH HIM A LITTLE OFF GUARD. AND THE PITCH WILL COME AT YOU FASTER. A GOOD, DEFENSIVE SWING. >> IF YOU MISS IT AT THE TOP OF THE INNING, IT WAS MASON -- EXCUSE ME, TRISTAN LUCIER WHO HIT A TWO-RUN HOME RUN. MASON DEVALL. I WAS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. WHO HIT A TWO-RUN HOME RUN THAT PUT NEW HAMPSHIRE UP EARLY. A GREAT START. THERE HE IS. UP THE MIDDLE, AND A FORCE AT SECOND. LET'S GET ANOTHER LOOK AT THE WONDERFUL HOMER BY MASON DEVALL, OFF THE TRACK OF THE BAT AND THE FANS KNEW IT WAS GONE. >>> >>> BOTTOM ONE FROM LAMADIE, AND ALREADY 2-0, HOOKSETT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, OVER LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON. >> MY FAVORITE TIME IS THE SEATTLE MARINERS. >> MY NAME IS CREW, AND MY FAVORITE ATHLETE IS MESSI. >> MY NAME IS CHASE KELLY. >> MY NAME IS COLE STURNLGEN. >> MY NAME IS JACKSON CAYLOR, AND MY FAVE AT THIS TIME TEAM ARE THE GIANTS. >> MY NAME IS NATE COOK. >> MY NAME IS RYAN WARHANK, AND MY FAVORITE BAND IS ACDC. >> MY FAVORITE MOVIE IS SPACE JAM, THE ORIGINAL. >> MY NAME IS KELL VANDEHAY. >> MY NAME IS LUKE SMITH. >> MY NAME IS BEN ROBERTSON, AND MY FAVORITE FOOD IS SMOKED SALMON. >> THE LINEUP, THE MAN OF THE HOUR, MASON DEVALL ON THE MOUND, JUST HIT A TWO-ONE SHOT, AND READY TO FACE A TOUGH LINEUP. >> MASON'S NICKNAME IS WARNING TRACK. HE ALWAYS GETS SO CLOSE TO HITTING HOME RUNS AND FINALLY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, HE HIT ONE, AND FINALLY TONIGHT, HE HIT ANOTHER ONE. SO I THINK WE REQUEST SAFELY, MONET, PUT THAT NICKNAME TO REST. DID YOU HAVE TEAMMATES YOU THOUGHT WERE MORE CONTACT HITTERS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, ONE DAY, THEY HAD MORE POWER LEFT IN THEM? >> OF COURSE, ALWAYS. I'M PRETTY SURE I WAS A WARNING TRACK HITTER AS WELL. BUT OUR LEAD OFF HITTER, A GREAT CONTACT HITTER AND NOW HE IS PUTTING BALLS OUT. EVERYONE GOES TO THE WARNING TRACK, BUT THEY ALWAYS GROW OUT OF IT. >> IF YOU THINK -- AS YOU MENTIONED, IS IT GROWING OUT OF IT? IS IT MAYBE ON THE NEXT LEVEL? >> THERE IS OFFENSE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF. ALWAYS TELL YOURSELF YOU ARE GOING TO HIT THE WARNING TRACK. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN HIT IT OUT AND YOU PUT THE WORK IN, SOMETIMES YOU HIT THE GYM, YOU MIGHT GROW OUT OF IT OR BECOME A STRONGER PLAYER. >> YOU ALWAYS HIT THE GYM.

AND A FAN OF THE TEAM AS WELL. SHOWS BUNT AND PULLED IT BACK. 1-1. >> THIS IS AN ORIOLES, HIS DAD IS ALSO A BIG RAIFRS FAN. >> LOVES LAMAR JACKSON, AND PLAYED BASEBALL AT MT. ST. MARYS. >> YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE STRIKE ON YOU, AND SHOWING BUNT. >> IT DEPENDS. IF YOU SEE HIM PLAYING BACK, EASY BASE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS. MAYBE -- IT'S AN EASY WAY TO SEE THE BASE RUNNER ON. I DON'T MIND IT. AS LONG AS IT'S RUN DOWN IN THE RIGHT SPOT. >> THE FIRST BASEMAN IS ALSO STANDING BACK. >> IT'S GOING TO BE A STRIKEOUT SWINGING FOR CHASE KELLY, AS DEVALL PICKING UP HIS FIRST STRIKEOUT OF THE EVENING. IT'S 2-0 NEW HAMPSHIRE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST, AND A SHOT FROM MASON DEVALL IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST. HERE IS BEN ROBERTSON, PITCHER ON PITCHER MATCHUP.

THE ONES FROM CHICK-FIL-A, THEY ARE THE BEST. >> WE HAVE TO GET SOME. >> SINGLE, LINED RIGHT TO CENTER FIELD FROM BEN ROBERTSON. FIRST HIT OF THE GAME FOR OREGON, LOOKING TO TURN IT AROUND HERE IN THE FIRST. THAT WILL BRING UP A CLEANUP HITTER, EVAN UECKER, ALSO CATCHING TONIGHT. >> THOSE PITCHERS REALLY HELPING OUT THE TEAM HERE, AND MASON HIT A BOMB IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST. THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST, YOU SAW BEN ROBERTSON PUT HIS TEAM ON. >> NO BALLS AND A STRIKE TO UECKER. BIG SEATTLE SEAHAWKS FAN, AND HIS FAVORITE PLAYER, RUSSELL WILSON. THERE'S A BALL, MAKING IT 1-1.

IT WILL BE CALAN MURPHY FOR THE DOUBLE HITTER, BRADEN CONNOLLY. AND CONNOLLY, SPORTING TAPE ON HIS LEFT WRIST. MIGHT BE BECAUSE HE FRACTURED IT IN ONE OF THE EARLY DAYS OF PRACTICE. AND IT WAS ACTUALLY DISALLOWED. THE MOVE WAS ACTUALLY DISALLOWED BECAUSE YOU CANNOT DO A SPECIAL PINCH RUN AT THIS TIME. SO CONNOLLY WILL STAY OUT THERE. AFTER HITTING A DOUBLE. >> FOR HIS AT-BAT TO COUNT, HE HAD TO GET AROUND THE BASES. THAT IS WHY THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE SWITCH RIGHT THERE. >> CORRECT. THANK YOU, ZOE. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR.

YOU KNOW, MURPHY, HIS FATHER IS CLOSE FRIENDS WITH OHIO STATE HEAD COACH IN FOOTBALL BRIAN DAY WHO USED TO BE A LITTLE LEAGUER WITH THE FIRST NEW HAMPSHIRE LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM. DAY DID AN INTERVIEW EARLIER THIS WEEK WITH ESPN, SUPPORTING NEW HAMPSHIRE. FROM AFAR. A BALL AND TWO STRIKES TO THE PINCH HITTER CALAN MURPHY. THIS IS RIPPED TO RIGHT, AND RBI SINGLE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND THE LEAD EXTENDED BY ONE, NOW 3-0. >> ON THE HIT HERE, HE SAW THE RUNNER STOP AT SECOND. WOULD YOU HAVE STOPPED HIM OR SECOND OR GOT HIM TO THIRD? >> I WOULD HAVE KEPT HIM TO SECOND. >> REALLY? THE CUT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE IT. >> THE RIGHT FIELDER GOT THE BALL IN QUICKLY. I THINK THE COACH MADE THE RIGHT DIVISION. YOU HAVE MASON DEVALL COMING UP. WHY NOT HAVE THE RISK WHEN YOU HAVE A MIDDLE HITTER COMING UP. >> POINT MADE. >> MORE DAMAGE TO BE DONE POTENTIALLY FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE STARTING PITCHER HAS A TWO-RUN SHOT LOOKING LIKE HIS FAVORITE PLAYER IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST. >> BALL. >> AND THERE IS BALL TWO ON THE OUTSIDE. >> ROBERTSON NOW WITH 41 PITCHES IN 1 1/3 INNINGS. YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT. >> THEY ARE SEEING PITCHES, YOU WANT TO DO IT AS A TEAM. >> AND LINED RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, AND MAKES IT THROUGH THE GAP. THEY'RE GOING DO WAVE THE RUNNER HOME, AND HE MAKES IT THERE, AND SCORE, CALAN MURPHY. AND RBI SINGLE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> SCORED, GOT HIM IN, AND 2 FOR 2 ON THE DAY. REALLY, REALLY SOLID HITTING FROM THE PITCHER. >> SWING AND A MISS, AND THE ONE, TWO, THREE HITTERS IN THE LINEUP ARE 5 FOR 5 SO FAR. ROBERTSON HAS GIVEN UP TWO RUNS IN EACH OF THE INNINGS PITCHED SO FAR. >> WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET IN THE SECOND INNING BUT THEY CAN ONLY VISIT ONCE PER INNING. YOU THINK THE NEXT TIME HE COMES OUT WILL BE A PITCHING CHANGE? >> I BELIEVE SO. >> 0-2, THIS ONE IS HIGH, AND MAMA MIA, IT IS GONE! THREE MORE RUNS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE! TRISTAN LUCIER TO THE MOON AND BACK. 7-0 NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> YOU SAID THE TOP OF THE ORDER WAS 5 FOR 5. MAKE IT 6 FOR 6. AN ABSOLUTE BOMB ON THAT BALL. ABLE TO TAKE IT DEEP. THAT WAS PAST THE FENCE BACK THERE. >> TWO HOME RUNS FROM THE ONE, TWO, THREE MAN IN THIS ORDER. THIS OFFENSE IS UNREAL. >> JUST A BREAKING BALL THAT DROPS IN THE ZONE. >> WE KNEW LUCIER HAD IT IN HIM. HE'S BEEN THE STAR SO FAR THIS TOURNAMENT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND THE END OF THE GAME, HE WAS 2 FOR 4 WITH A HOME RUN AND A RBI. NOW MAKE IT TWO HOMERS IN FOUR RBIs. AND THAT BALL WAS FOULED IN THE GRASS. TRYING TO LOCATE IT THERE. THE HOME RUN BALL GOES TO THE FAMILY, AND A SOUVENIR. TO LEFT FIELD AND THE DIVING CATCH IS NOT MADE. AND LUCIER TO SECOND. AND THE ONSLAUGHT CONTINUES. WHAT AN OFFENSIVE EFFORT. >> CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW FAST HE GOT TO SECOND BASE? WE WERE WATCHING -- I KNOW THERE WAS A HIGH FLY BALL. BUT BY THE TIME IT LANDED, HE WAS RUNNING TO SECOND. >> THAT IS WHY YOU RUN HARD OUT OF THE BOX. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN, AND HE PUT HIMSELF IN SCORING POSITION. >> SIX CONSECUTIVE HITS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND NOW NINE OVERALL. LET'S GET A LOOK AT THE MOUND VISIT NOW. >> WHAT YOU CONTROL IN THIS ONE, ALL THE OTHER STUFF, GO AFTER THE HITTER, GET THIS HITTER, ONE AT A TIME, NO PROBLEM. OKAY? DEFENSE IS GOING TO BE IN SQUARELY RIGHT NOW. THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM. JUST GO AFTER AND DO WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL. GO GET THEM, KID. >> THAT IS ONE OF THE ASSISTANT COACHES, BLARE TOWNSEND, AND YOU LOOK AT THE GRAPHIC, HE IS THROWING STRIKES. 75% ON HIS 48 PITCHES NOW THROUGH 1/3 INNINGS, AND THEY ARE JUST LOCATING THE BALL IN THE ZONE. >> AND STARTED OFF WITH THAT DOUBLE VIBE. THE RIGHT BALL OVER THE CENTER FIELDER'S HEAD. MAYBE THINKING TO TURN SECOND, AND THE RUNNER IS SAFE AT THIRD. THAT IS GOING TO BE RUNNERS ON THE CORNER WITH ONE OUT. >> IT LOOKED LIKE THE DEFENSE IS SHAKEN AFTER THAT ERROR THERE. NOT COUNTED AS AN ERROR BUT HIT -- UNTIL IT POPS OUT. AND HARD ON THE DIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAD A BIT OF A MISCOMMUNICATION. NOT ABLE TO TAG THE RUNNER, THE SHORT STAPP IS ABLE TO TAG THE RUNNER, HE IS ALREADY GONE. >> I'M NOT SURE IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS A FORCE. NORMALLY, SECOND BASE, THE BALL HITS TO THE LEFT SIDE, YOU NO, MA'AMLY -- NORMALLY DON'T RUN ON THAT. I'M NOT SURE, DIDN'T GET THE TAG IN TIME. >> THEY ARE NOT GOING TO COUNT IT AS A HIT, BALL ONE. RUNNERS GOING AT SECOND, BUT THE PLAY IS NOT MADE. THEY SAY HE'S IN ON TIME. >> ON THAT PLAY, I'M CONFUSED AS TO WAY THAT RUN DIDN'T SCORE. USUALLY YOU HAVE A RUN ON THIRD, THAT GUY IS GOING TO COME HOME. HE LOOKED LIKE HE HAD NO INTINS. >> HE DID GET CAUGHT OFF. AND I COULD HAVE TAKEN A LEAD JUST TO SEE WHERE HE IS GOING THROW IT TO FIRST OR SECOND, AND MAYBE TAKE OFF. I MEAN, I WOULD RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY. IT'S ONLY ONE OUT. WHY NOT JUST -- HOPEFULLY THIS GUY CAN PUT THE BALL IN THE HOLE AND SCORE SOME RUNS. >> OREGON JUST PRAYING FOR A GRANDE BALL RIGHT NOW TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE INNING. THERE IS THE GROUND BALL, AND NOWHERE TO THROW THE BALL. THE RUN WILL SCORE FOR CALEN LUCIER. IT'S GETTING OUT OF HAND AND IT'S 8-0. >> REALLY, YOU CAN TELL THE DEFENSE IS KNOCKED BACK AND SOMETIMES AN ERROR HAPPENS AND IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS, WHERE IT KEEPS SPIRALLING. THEY HAVE TO GET IN THE INNING AND HIT. THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW. >> THAT IS A RBI SINGLE IN THE SCORE BOOK, FOR RYSON MICHAUD, AND GASPIE FOULS IT AWAY, 0-1. >> I NOTICE ALL THE MISTAKES THEY ARE MAKING ARE PRETTY MENTAL. HOPEFULLY THEY GET IN THE DUG OUT, THEY KAUCH EACH OTHER DOWN. ONE RUN AT A TIME, ONE BASE AT A TIME, AND I'M PRETTY SURE, THEY COME BACK FROM ZERO. CALM DOWN AND JUST RESTART HERE. >> WE WERE TALKING AT IT THIS MORNING WITH YOUR MOM AND SAYING, PEOPLE ARE DOWN FOUR AND THEY JUST COME BACK. >> RUNNER TAKES SECOND. SO NOW SECOND AND THIRD. 65 PITCHES FOR ROBERTSON, AND JAMS UP AND STRIKEOUT. >> GREEN LIGHT IS MORE THAN A DEBIT CARD. IT'S A TEACHER, A SAFETY NET. IT'S HOW MILLIONS OF TEENS AND KIDS LEARN ABOUT MONEY AND INVEST FOR THE LONG HAUL. GREEN LIGHT. >> ANOTHER PINCH HITTER IN THE BALL GAME FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. IT'S LIAM-CARTER PATTEN. 8-0 NEW HAMPSHIRE IN THE TOP OF THE SECOND. SECOND AND THIRD, TWO OUTS, ROBERTSON, AND A WHIP FROM PATTEN. >> I HEARD HE HAD A REALLY, REALLY GOOD MICKEY MOUSE IMPRESSION. >> I DO TOO. I'M NOT GOING TO USE IT ON AIR. SWING AND A MISS. 1-2. HE'S A COMPANY MAN. CALM AND COOL IN THAT NEW HAMPSHIRE DUG OUT. 1-2 AND SWING AND A MISS. BACK-TO-BACK STRIKEOUTS FOR ROBERTSON TO END THE INNING, AND TEN HITS IN THIS GAME AND EIGHT RUNS TO SHOW FOR IT. ANOTHER LOOK AT THE HOME RUN SHOT AND ONE EXCITED MOM IN THE >>> >>> WELCOME BACK TO ESPN'S COVERAGE OF THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES.

HOW SPECIAL IS THAT FOR YOU? >> THAT IS VERY SPECIAL. THAT'S THE SECOND HOME RUN I HAVE SEEN HIM DO THIS YEAR, AND HIS NICKNAME WARNING TRACK IS BECAUSE HE WAS HITTING IT TO THE WARNING TRACK. HE COULD NEVER GET IT PAST THAT SPOT, AND THIS YEAR, HE IS -- THE LAST PLAYOFFS OF THE SEASON, HE IS HITTING IT. >> YEAH, MOM, HE IS ACTUALLY ON THE MOUND TONIGHT. I'M SURE YOU ARE NERVOUS. WHAT IS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD? >> I HOPE HE'S HAVING FUN. I HOPE THAT -- I DON'T KNOW. I AM MORE NERVOUS THAN HE IS. I WAS NERVOUS COMING OUT HERE. I ALWAYS WORRY, HE'S REALLY HARD ON HIMSELF.

WHY NOT -- >> WHAT IS YOUR SCREEN TIME AT? >> I GOT EMBARRASSED BY IT SO I TURNED IT OFF. >> I LIKE THAT. I HATE WHEN IT SHOWS UP ON MY PHONE EVERY WEEK. >> EVERY SUNDAY, I WOULD BE MORE EMBARRASSED EACH WEEK. >> YOU SEE THE PERCENTAGES UP. >> 2-2 TO LUKE SMITH AND ANOTHER FOUL BALL. A REALLY GREAT AT-BAT AND THE BOTTOM OF THE ORDER, THE BASES STILL LOADED, NO OUTS. >> THIS BAT ALONE FROM LUKE SMITH. >> NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE COACH HAS SAID TO THE OREGON TEAM. BUT THEY -- THEIR BODY LANGUAGE HAS CHANGED SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN ON DEFENSE. >> THE GREAT AT-BAT WILL NOT END WITH AN APPEARANCE ON BASE. HE'S GOT STRIKEOUT SWINGING, A MUCH NEEDED STRIKEOUT. >> TAKING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. HIS SPECIAL TALENT, HE IS ALLOWED TO -- HE DOES IT ALONE. CAN HE DRILL THE PITCH HERE? HIT ONE AND REALLY GET OREGON BACK IN THE GAME. LET'S TAKE A LOOK THE UMPIRES, SEE THE VIEW DOWN THERE. THE 0-1 COUNT. HIGH AND UP, 1-1. >> YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE, YOU LOOK BACK, AND ON TOP OF HIS HELMET, YOU WILL START LAUGHING. I JUST LOSE MY MIND. >> BALL. >> NOT BLOCKED OFF WELL BUT THE RUNNERS WILL STAY WHERE THEY ARE. NO DAMAGE IS DONE. BASES STILL LOADED. >> GO GET THEM. HERE WE GO. >> YOU SEE THE WORDS FROM THE DUGOUT. HERE'S THE PITCH, AND IT'S CALLED BALL THREE. IF HE WALKED HIM, IT WOULD SCORE A RUN WITH THE BASES LOADED. >> THERE IS THE ENERGY YOU ARE ALLUDED TO. THEY ARE ACTING LIKE THEY'RE UP SEVEN, NOT DOWN SEVEN. 3-1 PITCH, AND THAT IS STRIKE TWO. THE COUNT FULL. >> THAT WAS A PITCH IN A 3-1 COUNT. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT HE DID. HIGH AND INSIDE. IF YOU WANT TO GET A GOOD PITCH. IF IT'S NOT THERE, LEAVE IT UP. >> THE PAY OFF PITCH ON THE WAY, AND HE GETS HIM LOOKING. BOTTOM THIRD OF HIS OWN AND A BEAUTY ON HIS 50th PITCH, MASON DEVALL. >> THAT IS A WAY TO REBOUND THERE. THE BASES LOADED, THE RUN SCORED AND TWO STRIKEOUTS IN A ROW. HOW DOES IT FEEL? >> IT FEELS GREAT. YOU HAVE BASES LOADED AND NO OUTS. I FEEL THAT IS SO MUCH PRESSURE, AND ONLY GIVE UP ONE RUN IN THAT SITUATION. >> CHASE KELLY TAKES STRIKE ONE. BASES STILL LOADED BUT IT WENT FROM NO OUTS TO TWO OUTS. AS NEW HAMPSHIRE IS WORKING OUT OF THE JAM WELL FOR NOW. FOULED AND OUT OF THE STADIUM, 0-2. FROM CHASE KELLY. BATTING SECOND AND PLAYING FIRST TONIGHT, NOT PITCHING. THE 0-2 PITCH. ANOTHER FOUL BALL. LEFT FIELD AND TO THE NETTING. >> A REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOUL THERE. PROTECTING THE PLATE. THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WILL TELL YOU, PROTECT THE PLATE. ANYTHING CLOSE, EXPAND, AND JUST KEEPING HIMSELF ALIVE, KEEPING THE OREGON TEAM ALIVE. >> IN IS GROUNDED TO THIRD. HE BOBBLED IT AND THE THROW TO FIRST WILL NOT BE THERE. RUN SCORES FOR OREGON AND COMING IN, NUMBER FIVE, JACOBY ACEVEDO. THE FIRST ERROR OF THE GAME BOBBLED AT THIRD. >> I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE IT'S THE LIGHTS OR SOME CHEMICAL GONG ON. IT LOOKS LIKE THE PLAYERS ARE A LITTLE OFF BALANCE WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON. FIRST IT WAS OREGON IN THE FIELD, AND NOW NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> EXCUSE ME, THAT WAS EZRA CARLSTON WHO SCORED THE RUN. THE BALL HIT FROM CHASE KELLY. THIS ONE IS A FLY BALL TO RIGHT FIELD, AND A PLAY IS MADE BY RYSON MICHAUD. NO. HE LOSES IT IN THE LIGHTS AND THE RUN WILL SCORE. STURGEON, AND A BAD THROW TO HOME PLATE, WILL SCORE ANOTHER. TWO RUNS SCORE, AND THAT ONE IS CHASE KELLY. >> MONET, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW ERRORS ARE INFECTIOUS. >> I DO BELIEVE THAT ROBERTSON COULD HAVE BEEN ON THIRD. HE LOOKED AT THE BALL ONCE HE HIT IT, AND HE STARTED RUNNING, AND CLEARED THE BASES. THEY ARE BACK IN THERE. >> AND YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE COACH'S MIKE, DON'T GO, DON'T GO, AND THE BAD THROW, GO, GO, GO, GO, IT'S SUCH A SPLIT SECOND DECISION. >> OREGON THIS INNING MANAGED TO CUT THE SCORE IN HALF, DOWN THREE NOW, A MANAGEABLE COMEBACK TO ME. >> BACK-TO-BACK E-9s COMMITTED FROM THE DEFENSE. THERE'S A BALL. TWO ERRORS IN THE INNING. AND A FIVE-RUN INNING FOR OREGON TO GET RIGHT BACK IN IT. >> YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PITCH COUNT HERE. WE'RE ONLY IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SECOND INNING AND STILL ONLY THE SECOND, AND BOTH PITCHERS ARE BASICALLY AROUND. >> ETHAN UECKER WITH A BALL POPPED UP TO SECOND, AND NO PLAY MADE AT SECOND. BUT THE RUNNER AT THIRD, BEN ROBERTSON, WILL STAY AT THE HOT CORNER. SO FIRST AND SECOND WITH TWO OUTS, WHAT A TWO-OUT RALLY FROM OREGON. >> THAT'S WHY YOU RUN WHEN YOU'RE A SECOND BASEMAN. WHEN YOU'RE ON SECOND, OR ANY BASE FOR THAT MATTER, YOU GO. IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS, YOU GET TO THE NEXT BASE, AND CORNERS ON AND A HITTER UP. >> DO WE THINK IT'S THE LIGHTS THAT ARE BLINDING THESE INFIELDERS AND OUTFIELDERS RIGHT NOW FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OR SOMETHING ELSE? >> I'M NOT QUITE SURE. IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE HE TRIPPED BEFORE TRYING TO CATCH THE BALL, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE FIRST BASEMAN WENT FOR IT. I'M IN THE SURE IF IT WAS A LITTLE MISCOMMUNICATION OR IF HE TIPPED OVER SOMETHING. >> THAT WAS AN E-4 ON TOWNSEND. >> ALSO, THE NEW HAMPSHIRE TEAM IS IN A BIT OF A HIATUS. >> THROUGH THE HOLE IN RIGHT FIELD. MAKE IT SIX RUNS IN THE INNING FOR OREGON. BEN ROBERTSON ON THE RBI SINGLE. >> THEY MAY NOT BE USED TO THE LIGHTS. AND THE LIGHTS GETTING IN THE EYES JUST A LITTLE BIT. >> UNBELIEVABLE STUFF. THREE, NOW FOUR ERRORS AND THREE HITS AND IT JUST IS A TWO-RUN GAME. OREGON LEFT FOR DEAD AFTER 1 1/2, DOWN 8-0, AND NOW IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, 8-6. >> AT THE PLATE, AND 0-2 AND LOOK AT THE PITCH COUNT RIGHT NOW, MONET. >> EXACTLY OREGON, THEY CAME IN THE OREGON, AND THEY WERE STAYING POSITIVE. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. THEY ARE SEEING PITCHES. THE FIRST THREE BATTERS OF THE INNING, THEY ALL WALKED. FULL COUNT FOR AT LEAST TWO OF THEM. THEY ARE SEEING PITCHES, BEING PICTURE AND FINDING THE RIGHT DRIVE, AND PITCH SELECTION IS SO IMPORTANT. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE, HAVING SOME OF THE ERRORS NOT BE ERRORS AND BE OUT OF THE INNING? >> FIRST AND SECOND, TWO OUTS AND ANOTHER ONE, FOULED BACKWARDS. AND NEAR THE BOOTH, A BALL AND TWO STRIKES. >> I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO GET A SHOT AT THAT ONE. >> Gary: IS BALL IS COMING TOWARDS US, IT'S YOUR JOB TO BLOCK IT. >> I GOT YOU. >> THE 1-2 PITCH. AND THE OUTSIDE CORNER, NO STRIKE CALLED, 2-2. OREGON, LOOKING FOR MORE. THE GO-AHEAD RUN AT THE PLATE, AND WHO THOUGHT WE WOULD BE SAYING THAT ANY TIME SOON. >> FLY BALL TO RIGHT FIELD, AND FINALLY, OUT NUMBER THREE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME AFTER THE BOTTOM OF THE SECOND, AND NEW HAMPSHIRE STILL LEADS 8-6. >> >> HEY, NEW BALL GAME. WE HAVE TO MAKE PLAYS IN THE FIELD. WE HAVE TO MAKE PLAYS. STAY FOCUSED. GET IT BACK HERE. WE'RE GOOD. WE HAVE THE TOP OF THE ORDER UP. LET'S DO WHAT WE DID THE LAST TWO INNINGS. PUT ANOTHER SIX UP HERE. NEW HAMPSHIRE ON THREE. >> 8-6 THE SCORE FROM WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA. IT'S BEEN A WILD GAME. TEN HITS FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. THREE FROM OREGON BUT FOUR ERRORS COMMITTED IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SECOND. >> THAT IS A VERY LONG INNING, ONLY IN THE THIRD. >> AND PINCH HITTER IN THE GAME, EVANS, HE IS OUT. >> A SOLID PLAY, RELYING ON YOUR MECHANICS, AND THAT IS ALL YOU HAVE TO FALL BACK ON. OH, THE MONITOR, I HAVE A BIT OF A HEADS UP, THE DUG OUT HERE. >> HEY, DUGOUT. YOU'RE BACK FOR MORE AFTER MY HORRIBLE DRIVING AND MY NOT SO IMPRESSIVE BOTTOM OF THE SECOND EITHER. THE PITCH FROM UECKER IS BALL ONE, AS DUGOUT HAS JOINED THE BROADCAST BOOTH. >> DUGOUT, YOU WANT A MIKE? >> HE IS MORE OF A LEAD BY EXAMPLE GUY? BALL AND A STRIKE, AND HERE'S THE FOURTH MEMBER OF OUR CREW. UNFORTUNATELY, MAYBE THE FIFTH MEMBER OF THE CREW. HAILEY IS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE BROADCAST, BUT WE DID NOT PLAN FOR YOU. BUT WE'LL TAKE IT. YOU BRING IT. YOU JUST BRING IT. ETHAN UECKER, THE NEW PITCHER ON THE PUMP FOR OREGON. >> DID YOU EAT ANY GOOD FOOD? WE HAVE CANDY UP HERE IN THE BOOTH. >> YOU GOING TO OFFER HIM ANY? >> DO YOU WANT -- CAN YOU FIT IT? ALL RIGHT, I WILL OPEN IT UP. >> BACK TO THE TOP OF THE ORDER, AND LaBRANCHE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND HE'S GOING TO WORK OUT A WALK WITH A BAT FLIP. >> CANDY? >> NO, I'M ALREADY. >> CANDY? >> THERE YOU GO. NICE, NICE. >> VERY, VERY NICE. DUGOUT, STILL WITH US HERE IN THE TOP OF THE THIRD. AND MASON, MASON DEVALL BACK TO THE PLATE. A TWO-RUN HOMER, IN THE TOP OF THE FIRST. MASON DEVALL. SWING AND A MISS. >> DUGOUT, IF YOU PITCH SO HIGH, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO JUMP OUT THERE AND PITCH. ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THAT? >> YOU GOT IT? >> A PITCHER? >> STRETCHING. HE'S GETTING READY. >> POPPED UP TO RIGHT CENTER, AND IT'S GOING TO DROP IN FOR A BASE HIT, AND HE'S GOING TO SECOND, AND THE OTHER TO THIRD. TWO RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION NOW FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. LaBRANCHE TO THIRD AND DEVALL TO SECOND. >> IT LOOKS LIKE HITTING JUST CAUGHT FIRE, AND THESE RUNS AND HITS ON BASE HAVEN'T BEEN BECAUSE OF ERRORS. JUST BECAUSE OF REALLY GOOD HITTING, OREGON DRAWS A NEW PITCHER IN, AND BALLS ARE NOT FLYING OUT OF THE PARK YET, BUT THE LUCIERS ARE COMING UP. SO YOU NEVER KNOW. >>MENT DEVALL NOW, 3 FOR 3 ON THE NIGHT. GROUNDED TO SECOND. THROW MADE TO FIRST, AND THE RUN WILL SCORE. DOM LaBRANCHE IS GOING TO TOM IN TO HOME PLATE, AND IT'S 9-6 AFTER THE RBI GROUND OUT. TRISTAN LUCIER. >> THAT IS WHAT WE CALL A PRODUCTIVE OUT. TRISTAN MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN ON BASE, BUT HE GOT A RBI AND HE MOVES THE RUNNER. >> DUGOUT -- >> IT WAS AN HONOR. WE HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOU. >> IF YOU WANT MORE CANDY, WE'LL BE HERE ALL DAY. >> THROW TO THIRD. EXCUSE ME, THIRD TO FIRST, IN TIME. RUN WILL NOT SCORE. RUNNER STRANDED ON THIRD. 9-6 AFTER 2 1/2. >> >> LITTLE LEAGUE WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A THANK YOU TO THE OFFICIAL SONSERS LIKE LANCE CRACKERS AND T-MOBILE. LITTLE LEAGUE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS WHO MAKE THE PROGRAM A SPECIAL ONE FOR MILLIONS OF CHILDREN. BOTTOM OF THE THIRD AND WE STILL SEE DEVALL ON THE MOUND EVEN AFTER 81 PITCHES THROUGH TWO INNINGS. NO ON, NO OUT. 0-2 ON THE WAY. AND FOULED AWAY. A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BALL GAME WE HAD. HAVE YOU SEEN OFFENSE LIKE THIS, WHEN YOU WERE PLAYING? >> LINED TO THE PITCHER, AND A THROW TO FIRST, NOT IN TIME. THAT IS A NICE LEAD-OFF HIT FOR VANDEHAY. >> NATE COOK IS ACTUALLY MOVING TO CONNECTICUT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SERIES. I SPOKE WITH HIS DAD EARLIER, AND HE SAID WHETHER THEY WIN OR LOSE, THIS IS STILL A FAIRY TALE STORY BECAUSE HE IS STILL PLAYING WITH THE KIDS HE GREW UP WITH, AND THAT IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. IAN, BACK TO YOU IN THE BOOTH. I MISS YOU GUYS. >> I MISS YOU TOO, HAILEY. WE HEAR YOU. YOU ARE DOING GREAT WORK AS USA. >> YOU SHOULD COME VISIT HIM? WE HAVE SOUR PATCH IF YOU WANT ANY. >> I WAS SO JEALOUS WHEN I SAW DUGOUT OUT THERE. ARE WE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL HE IS? >> THAT IS UP TO YOU GUYS. >> I THINK THEY SAID SHE WAS A HAMSTER, I HEARD. >> NO, NO, NO -- HE IS A SQUIRREL. HE'S A SQUIRREL. >> SOMETHING IN -- >> A CHIPMUNK. >> OKAY, SOMETHING IN THAT FAMILY. >> SOMETHING IN THE SQUIRREL FAMILY, I HAVE TO THINK. >> AND NATE'S FATHER IS ACTUALLY THE CMO FOR THE WNBA. SO A VERY BIG ROLE IN THE SPORTS WORLD, HE PLAYS. A FULL COUNT TO HIM NOW. >> NO ONE IS IS A BIGGER FAN IN THE WNBA THAN MONET. >> YEAH, I LOVE WATCHING SPORTS. I WAS TRYING TO GET UP TO THE GAME TOMORROW IN NEW YORK. HOPEFULLY I CAN MAKE IT. THAT WILL A NICE TWEET BEFORE I GO BACK TO SCHOOL. >> THAT, IT WOULD. NATE COOK GOES DOWN ON STRIKES SWINGING, AND HERE IS RYAN WARHANK. >> DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE TEAM? >> NO, I LIKE A BUNCH OF PLAYERS. HOPEFULLY -- >> AN OVERALL FAN. >> YEAH, HOPEFULLY, I WILL GO A PHILLY FAN. >> I THINK YOU CAN BUY INTO A PHILLIES TEAM. YOU SHOULD BE AN OWNER. >> HONESTLY, THAT IS THE GOAL LATER ON IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T KNOW, RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT TO FINISH SCHOOL AND DO WHAT I WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW, AND LATER ON DOWN THE LINE -- >> IS IT A 15-YEAR PLAN? >> YEAH, FOR SURE. >> IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANY PHILADELPHIA SPORTS TEAM -- >> I FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A CORE GROUP THAT ARE THERE FOR A WHILE, AND WITH JOEL EMBIID RE-SIGNING, I PROBABLY SAY THE SIXERS. >> TRUST THE PROCESS. >> AND LOOK AT THIS. RYAN WARHANK'S MOTHER IS BEHIND THE HOLE IN THE BACK OF THE SHOT. SHE CAN'T WATCH, IT'S SO NERVE-RACKING. BUT HER SON IS FIGHTING ON THE 0-2 COUNT. >>> I LOVE WHEN THE PARENTS WERE MORE STRESSED OUT THAN THE KIDS. I THINK THAT IS A UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE FOR PARENTS. >> HE'S GOING TO GET BIT HIT BY A PITCH. AND THE RUNNER GOES TO SECOND. THE RUNNER ON SECOND, ONE OUT. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK IS SCARIER FOR MOM? SEEING HIM GET PEGGED BY A BALL OR SEEING HIM STRIKEOUT? >> I FEEL LIKE -- I'M IN A PARENT OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOU KNOW, WATCHING MY FRIENDS, I WOULD RATHER SEE HIM GET HIT BY A PITCH THAN STRIKING OUT. I AM MORE EXCITED TO SEE THEM ON BASE. >> MONET WOULD RATHER HER FRIENDS -- >> YEAH. >> OREGON TRAILS 3. RUNNER ON SECOND. WARHANK CHECKS HIS SWING. THEY'RE GOING TO SAY HE WENT. STRIKEOUT FOR DEVALL. HIS FIFTH OF THE INNING AND OREGON STILL IN THE GAME. >> DEVALL IS FRUSTRATED. AND WE WILL SEE A CHANGE HERE. >> LET'S GET A LISTEN TO THE MOUND VISIT. >> WAY TO GO GET THE LAST BATTER. GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB. WE HAVE TWO OUTS, GUYS, RIGHT? JACOBY! YOU'RE GOING OUT TO CENTER. YOU'RE GOING TO SHORT. HEY, GREAT JOB. ALL RIGHT? >> WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE NEW PITCHER ON THE BUMP >>> >>> T-MOBILE IS GOING TO BAT TO HYMN MORE KIDS PLAY BALL. THE T-MOBILE GRANT, HELPING 17,000 KIDS AND COUNTING PLAY AMERICA'S GAME. AND TRISTEN LUCIER FROM SHORT TO CENTER FIELD. NOW, LET'S GO TO THE HUGHES NIGHT BASEBALL LOOKSY. IT'S DODGERS, TAKES ON FERNANDO TATIS AND THE PADRES, COVERAGE FROM PETCO ON ESPN, AND THE ESPN APP. ONE APP, ONE TAP. >> YOU SEE TRISTAN MOVING FROM SHORTSTOP TO CENTER AS YOU MENTIONED. KING OF THE INFIELD TO KING OF THE OUTFIELD. >> NOT SURE -- YOU LOOK AT THE OUTFIELD. THE RIGHT FEARS AND RIGHT CENTER. THAT JUST SHOWS THAT -- MAYBE JACOBY DOESN'T GO AS HARD, AND THEY BELIEVE EVERY BATTER WILL BE EARLY. AND DOWN THE RIGHT FIELD LINE, THAT CAN DIV A LOT OF ACES. >> THAT, IT COULD. SWING AND A MISS, AND THE NEW PITCHER, HE JUST STARTED BMX BIKING. HE GOT INTO IT BECAUSE HIS DAD DID A LOT OF MOUNTAIN BIKING. I DON'T HAVE THE GUTS FOR THAT, AND HE WILL IS GOING TO END THE INNING STRIKING OUT SWINGING, IS ELLIS BAYNE. GREAT WORK FROM >> >> YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS OFF FIRST. >> AND PUT IT ON -- >> I THINK YOU JUST TWIST IT. >> HOW DO YOU GET IT TO KNOW THE NUMBER? >> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT. >> YOU WANT TO TRADE YOUR CELL PHONE? FOR ONE OF THOSE? >> NO. >> TOP FOUR FROM LAMADE, ANDTHE GAME WITH NEW HAMPSHIRE AND OREGON, AND A LEAD, 9-6. THIS GENERATION, DON'T WE LOVE OUR TECHNOLOGY? IT CAN BE USED TO TAKE PHOTOS AND IT CAN BE DISTRACTING. >> TO BE HONEST, I DON'T THINK I COULD USE THAT PHONE TO SAVE MY LIFE. IF I WAS IN A PLACE TO CALL 911, I WOULD DIE. I DON'T THINK I COULD DO IT. >> I THINK I COULD. YOU JUST TURN THE NUMBER, AND RESET IT AND TURN BACK. >> THAT DOES THAT MEAN? >> YOU LET IT GO, AND IT COMES BACK. >> YOU HAVE BEEN IN HIGH PRESSURE SITUATIONS. >> I CAN BE CALM ENOUGH TO FIGURE THE PHONE OUT. >> AND TOWNSEND OUT OF THE WAY FOR BALL ONE. TOWNSEND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN HAWAII IF THE TEAM DID NOT ADVANCE TO WILLIAMSPORT. >> THAT MAKES TWO OF US. >> AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TOO. BUT -- >> THAT MAKES TWO OF US. AS NICE AS IT IS IN HAWAII, IT'S NICE TO BE HERE. >> DO YOU REMEMBER -- IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE. >> NO, IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE. I'M SOO EXCITED TO BE HERE, AND HAWAII CAN WAIT, AND THERE ARE MASK BANS AND STUFF GOING ON. WE ARE GLAD TO BE HERE. >> THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC STILL VERY MUCH WITH IT. AND IT'S AFFECTED WILLIAMSPORT THIS YEAR. NO INTERNATIONAL TEAMS, AND STILL A GREAT COMPETITION. AS WE'RE TRYING TO WHITTLE IT DOWN TO EIGHT TEAMS AFTER THE GAME TONIGHT. HERE'S THE PITCH, AND FOULED OUT OF THE STADIUM. 2-2 COUNT TO TOWNSEND. TOWNSEND IS COUSINS WITH ACTOR BREAKEN MEYER, WHO IS KNOWN FOR ROAD TRIP AND GARFIELD THE MOVIE. A LOT OF THE KIDS PROBABLY SAW NOT TOO LONG AGO. AND THE PAYOFF PITCH, AND IT COMES FOR A WALK. LET'S GO TO HAILEY WHO HAS SOMETHING FOR US. >> WELL, A FEW GUYS STILL OUT ON THE HILL RIGHT NOW, BEFORE BUT FORGET ABOUT THAT, I HAVE THE BAGGON WITH ME. I SPOKE TO JULIE EARLIER, AND SHE LET MY BORROW IT. I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR BABY FOR YOU. POP WHEELIES ON IT. I DON'T KNOW. LET'S CHECK THE OUT. LOOK AT THE RIMS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THE DETAIL IN THE RIM? AND YOU GO TO THE LIGHTS, THE GLOVES, THAT IS GENIUS. THE BALL CAP. THAT IS AWESOME. WHO THOUGHT OF THAT, RIGHT? WE GOT AROUND HERE, AND THE REAL PARTY IS INSIDE. GUYS, CHECK IT OUT. THE DISCO BALL. ZOE, MONET, ISN'T THIS COOL? WE HAVE TWO DISCO BALLS. ONE IS NOT ENOUGH. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT FOR A RIDE. FY IF I STINK AT DRIVING THIS, I SWEAR I HAVE MY LICENSE. THIS THING DOESN'T HAVE A CAMERA. ALL RIGHT, READY? WE'RE GOING TO START DRIVING, HERE WE GO. I'M SCARED. >> WHAT A GREAT PLAY. GOOD LUCK, HAILEY, IN THE WAGON. AN EXCELLENT PLAY. GET THE RUNNER OUT AT SECOND. >> A FEW MENTAL MISTAKES EARLIER. AND HE JUST STOLE A HIT AND GOT THE OUT OF SECOND. THAT IS BRILLIANT, A WAY TO KEEP THE TEAM IN THE GAME, AND IT'S A HIGHLY HONESTLY. >> MAYBE THE PLAY WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO GOOD. AS IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO SEE A COACH'S CHALLENGE FROM MANAGER CHRIS KELLY -- EXCUSE ME, MANAGER TIM DEVALL, AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> USUALLY, SOMETIMES A PERSON WHO IS CATCHING A BALL ON SECOND ISN'T ON THE BASE, THEY WILL GIVE IT TO YOU, IF YOU ARE IN PROXIMITY, JUST FOR SAFETY REASONS. IF YOU AT SECOND BASE, KIT BE AN ISSUE. THEY WILL FOCUS ON IF HE WAS ACTUALLY ON THE BAG. HE DIDN'T MAKE ANY ATTEMPT. >> IT HIS FOOT MAY HAVE SLID OFF THE BASE. >> LITTLE HUMANS, LITTLE LEGS, CAN'T HELP IT. >> LOOKED LYKES HE GOT IT. HE IS A BIG FC BARCELONA FAN. AND HE WAS DEVASTATED WHEN LIONEL MESSI LEFT THE FIELD. HOPEFULLY THE CALL IS NOT OVERTURNED FOR HIM. THE LEFT FOOT DRAGGED ON THE BAG BEFORE WE SAW TOWNSEND SLIDING IN. IF IT HOLDS, IT WILL BE FIELDER'S CHOICE, AND RYSON MICHAUD, AND THE TOP OF THE FOURTH FROM LAMADE. ANOTHER ANGLE. >> THIS IS ONE OF THE TOUGHIES, AND A CLOSE GAME, ONE OUT, TWO OUTS, AND ENDING THE INNING AND CONTINUING ON. >> THESE ARE THE FEW PLAYS IN THE GAME -- WE HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF WILD PLAYS SO FAR THAT CAN REALLY MAYBE IN THE MOMENT NOT SEEM LIKE A MASSIVE CALL. BUT DEFINITELY CAN TURN THE TIDE IN THE GAME. THE CALL ON THE FIELD IS KEITH TOWNSEND OUT AT SECOND BASE THANKS TO THE GREAT THROW FROM SHORT FROM CREW CORRY. STILL BEING REVIEWED. SEEMS IT'S MORE UP IN THE AIR THAN WE SEE. >> CLOSE CALLS, SOMETIMES THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO OVERTURN THEM? IS THERE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HE WAS OFF THE BAG -- >> AND THE BALL IS OVERTURNED. AND OREGON IS STUNNED. TOWNSEND RETURNS TO SECOND. AND IT'S GOING TO GO DOWN AS A BASE HIT FOR. CHAUND MICHAUD. >> AMAZING PLAY. >> GREAT COACHING CHALLENGE FROM TIM DEVALL. HERE IS TYLER CHAUVETTE, RIGHT RIGHTY ON RIGHTY MATCHUP ON UECKER. UECKER DEALS, FIRST AND SECOND, NO OUTS. NEW HAMPSHIRE IS GOING TO ADD INSURANCE TO THE THREE-RUN LEAD. 1-0 ON THE WAY, AND CHAUVETTE INSIDE CORNER, UECKER GETS IT. 1-1. >> YOU WERE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB STAYING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PLATE. OBVIOUSLY IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, NO OUTS, RUNNERS ON FIRST AND SECOND, YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT AWAY FROM THE HOME RUN FENCE. >> A BOUNCER TO SHORT. THERE IS ONE OUT, AND THE DOUBLE PLAY, NOT TURNED, THE THROW AWAY FROM KELLY'S HANDS, AND THE RUN WILL SCORE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. COMING IN IS KEITH TOWNSEND. THAT'S THEIR TENTH RUN OF THE GAME. 10-6. >> THE RUN SCORES, BUT THEY GET A PRODUCTIVE OUT. THEY GET THE OUT, THE RUN STILL SCORES, RUNNER AT FIRST. I WAS SURPRISED HE CAN'T GO TO SECOND. BUT YOU RESET, GO UP, IT'S ONE MORE RUN. IT'S NOT THAT BIG A DEAL. >> TRYING TO PULL OFF A DOUBLE PLAY, AND MONET, THAT THROW, NOWHERE CLOSE TO CHASE KELLY ON FIRST. >> I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GO TO THIRD. ALMOST GOT THE DOUBLE PLAY. BACK TO FIRST BASE, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT. TIME TO SHAKE IT OFF. >> I LIKE THE GUTSY NGS TO TRY TO TURN A DOUBLE PLAY, YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THE INNING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. >> MURPHY, A BOUNCE FROM THE PITCHER, AND NO DOUBLE PLAY. RUNNER AT FIRST. >> THROW IT ON POINT. NOTHING MORE, JUST A FAST RUNNER WHO BEAT IT OUT. >> THAT RUNNER WAS BRADEN CONNOLLY, WHO WHACKED THAT ONE RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, AND DEFLECTED OFF HIS GLOVE TO CORRY, AND STURGEON ON SECOND TO KELLY, AND NOT IN TIME TO FIRST BASE. THE UMPIRE CAMERA, LOOKING AT THIS AT-BAT. 27 PITCHES IN NOW FOR ETHAN UECKER. GROUNDED FOUL DOWN THE LEFT FIELD LINE FROM JACOBY ACEVEDO. >> SOUNDED LIKE IT MAY HAVE BIT THE BAT TWICE. DID IT DOUND LIKE -- >> I SAW A WILD PLAY ON TIKTOK WHERE A BATTER BREAK A BAT AND HIT THE BALL THREE TIMES. THE OUT MADE IT TO CHASE KELLY. NEW HAMPSHIRE EXTENDS THE LEAD BY ONE, AND LET'S GET A LOOK AT WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE HILL RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE JUST ROLLING DOWN. HAVING FUN. >> >> MY NAME IS CARLSTON -- >> I FORGOT WHAT WE US GOING SAY. >> YOU'RE KILLING ME, SMALLS. >> I HAVE THE BEST THROW ON THE TEAM. >> I LIKE POPCORN. >> OH, THE KIDS. EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT PERFECT WHEN TALKING, THEY JUST FIND A WAY TO BE FUNNY. 10-6, YOUR SCORE HERE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FOURTH. NEW HAMPSHIRE IN THE LEAD, AND THERE GAME ALREADY, 3 1/2 INNING, GUYS, THE HIGHEST SCORING GAME WE HAVE SEEN YET FROM THE 2021 LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES. 16 HITS COMBINED BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS, 12 FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. 4 FOR OREGON. ALREADY THIS GAME, THE HIGHEST SCORING MARK, SCORING ONE MORE RUN OVERALL THAN THE NEW JERSEY/CONNECTICUT BATTLE. AND THAT IS CALLED STRIKE ONE. MAKES IT 2-1. >> THINK ABOUT THIS, FOUR HITS SCORED SIX RUNS. WOW. >> CHASE KELLY, THE LEAD-OFF BATTER FOR OREGON. 0 FOR 2 SO FAR TONIGHT, AND 0 FOR 6 SO FAR IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES. ACEVEDO DEALS AND MISSING LOW, 3-1. ACEVEDO HAS TO FEEL GOOD. THAT IS A WELL HIT BALL TO RIGHT FIELD, IN BETWEEN THE INFIELD AND OUTFIELD, AND A LEAD-OFF SINGLE FOR KELLY. FINALLY, HE GETS A HIT. >> AS YOU MENTIONED, IAN, FINALLY GETS A HIT. HIS ERROR LAST TIME, ENDED UP SCORING A RUN AND STRUCK OUT THE LAST TIME UP. MONET, WHAT ARE WE SEEING HERE? >> WE HAVE A PULL THROUGH. HE DRIVES IT IN. IT IS NOT THE HARDEST HIT BUT COUNTS AS A HIT IN THE BOOK. >> PITCHER ON PITCHER MATCHUP, JACOBY ACEVEDO, AND BEN ROBERTSON. FOULED, GETS THE TOP OF THE BACKSTOP. 0-1. RUNNER ON FIRST, NO OUTS. OREGON LOOKING TO CLOSE THE GAP ONCE AGAIN. AND IT'S ELIMINATION GAME. WE'VE STILL GOT THREE FULL INNINGS OF IT. OREGON OFFENSE. THERE IS A FLY BALL AND FOUL TERRITORY AND OUT OF PLAY. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE OREGON PLAYERS ARE FEELING THE PRESSURE TO SCORE? DO YOU THINK THE COACHING STAFF IS REITERATING THE FACT THEY HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT UP? >> I WOULD SAY, IT'S BOTTOM FOUR, IF THEY SCORE SIX, THERE IS NO REASON TO JUST TRY TO BOUND BALLS DOWN, AND TRY TO DEBT DOUBLES AND HOMERS EVERY TIME. JUST ONE BASE AT A TIME, WE CALL IT -- THEY MAKE ERRORS. SO YOU JUST PUT THE BALL IN PLAY, HIT IT HARD AND GOOD THINGS SHOULD HAPPEN. >> ROBERTSON WITH A FOUL OUT AND THAT WILL BRING UP IT CLEANUP HITTER, AND NOW PITCHING FOR OREGON, ETHAN UECKER. FOULS ONE BACK, 0-1. RUNNER ON FIRST, ONE OUT. A GOOD CARD COLLECTOR, AND HE CAN DO IT ON A SIZE HUSTLE AND AND THEN I REALIZED THEY ARE NOT AS VALUABLE AS I THOUGHT THEY WERE. I REALIZED ONLY THE OLD ONES ARE VALUABLE, AND I WENT TO COOPERSTOWN AND GOT A PACK FROM 1981, AND THEN GOT NOBODY, SO I WAS JUST SAD. I DO NOT COLLECT CARS. >> DO YOU HAVE ALL 50. >> I HAVE A LOT. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ALL 50. >> THE PINS, THAT IS A BIG THING AT THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES. MY BEST PIN, THE DUNKIN PIN. I THINK IT'S THE COOL THES THING THAT EVER HAPPENED. SHOWS BUNT AND LAYS DOWN A BEAUTY. BASE HIT AFTER A FLY OUT BY UECKER. A BASE HIT FOR HIM, AND THIS IS FUNDAMENTALS AT ITS FINALEST. >> THAT IS A PERFECT BUNT. THAT IS NOTHING THAT A DEFENSE CAN DO ABOUT IT. YOU PLACE IT LICE NICELY, THE THIRD BASEMAN IS BACK, AND GIVE HIMSELF A BIG HIT. >> HE ADVANCES CREW CORRY. >> ESPECIALLY ON A FIELD LIKE THIS, WHERE YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, THE BASES ARE ONLY 60 FEET APART. THEY ARE PRETTY CLOSE. IN A MAJOR LEAGUE SETTING, THE BUNT -- THE RUNNER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OUT. BUT HERE, IT WORKS BECAUSE IT'S SO SHORT, AND THEY CAN GET DOWN THE BASELINE SO QUICK. >> JACKSON CAYLOR AT THE PLATE WITH RUNNERS ON FIRST AND SECOND AND TWO OUTS. CAYLOR, 0 FOR 1 TONIGHT. IN THERE IS STRIKE ONE. JACOBY ACEVEDO, LOOKING TO GET OUT OF A JAM. HE DEALS. DID HE GO? NO, HE DID NOT 2-1. >> WE TALKED ABOUT ALL 50 STATES FOR YOUR QUARTER. DID YOU KNOW, JACKSON CAYLOR CAN LIST ALL 50 STATES IN 60 SECONDS. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT IN 30 SECONDS. THAT IS IMPRESSIVE. >> IF YOU CAN DO IT IN 30 SECONDS, I WAS GOING TO SAY, DO IT NOW. >> I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO IT IN 30 SECONDS. >> FIRST YOU CAN, AND NOW YOU CAN'T. >> THE PRESSURE. >> WE HAVE A TIMER. >> ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, IOWA, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, LOUISIANA, MARYLAND, MISSISSIPPI, MISSOURI, MONTANA, NEW JERSEY, NORTH CAROLINA, NEW MEXICO. I MESSED UP. >> OH, NO. >> YOU WERE -- >> YOU WERE MAKING GREAT TIME. >> I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT. I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT. MAYBE NEXT HALF INNING. I WAS SO CLOSE. >> MONET, STILL GOT IT. AND THAT IS A WALK. FOR JACKSON CAYLOR. BASES LOADED FOR OREGON WITH TWO OUTS, AND THE TYING RUN WILL COME TO THE PLATE. IT'S BECKETT HEHER LOOKING TO DO DAMAGE. OREGON ALREADY WITH TWO HITS THIS INNING AND SIX TOTAL. >> I THOUGHT YOU HAD IT FOR A SECOND, AND I JUST HEARD WEIRD NOISES, AND THEY JUST CAME APART. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I LOOKED AT THE TIME, AND THEN, FORGOT. >> YOU GOT IT. >> THE PITCH, UPSTAIRS. COLLECTED BY THE PITCHER, 1-1. GOOD JOB. >> TAKE A DEEP BREATH. YOU HAVE BEEN HITTING SO WELL. STAY SHORT TO THE BALL. DON'T TRY TO BE TOO BIG. GO GET IT. YOU'RE A GREAT HITTER. HAVE FUN. GET IT. VISUALIZE THE SUCCESS. GET IT. >> REALLY INSPIRING WORDS THERE. TRYING TO LIGHT A FIRE IN HEHER WITH THE BASES LOADED AND TWO OUTS. ACEVEDO DEALS ON THE 1-1. SWING AND A MISS. 1-2. >> MONET, HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT DOES IT HAVE WHEN THE COACH COMES OVER AND TALKS TO YOU LIKE THAT? >> IT GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE. IF YOU SEE YOUR COACH BELIEVES IN YOU,IVE GETS YOU BELIEVE. >> HE GOES DOWN SWINGING. ACEVEDO PICKS UP A THE CAMERA A GETTING TIGHT. >> HE IS A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE CAMERA. FIRST, HE WASN'T COMFORTABLE, BUT HE SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING HIMSELF HERE. >> FIRST, HE WAS SAYING THE MAIN THING IS THE MAIN THING. AND NOW THE CAMERA IS HIS BEST FRIEND. >> IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CONFIDENCE YOU TALKED ABOUT, MONET. >> THIS IS STRIKE ONE. >> THE TOP OF THE ORDER HERE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. AND WE WILL SEE THEM TRY TO EXTEND THAT LEAD. THEY ARE UP FOUR CURRENTLY. >> LaBRANCHE, 1 FOR 1 TODAY. 3 FOR 6 IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES SO FAR. LaBRANCHE, HIS FAVORITE ACTOR IS ADAM SANDLER. BUT THE FAMOUS ACTOR IS FOLLOWING THIS TEAM VERY CLOSELY. GROUNDED TO THIRD. ROUTINE THROW TO FIRST, ONE AWAY. LET'S GET A LOOK AT HOW ADAM SANDLER, WHO USED TO PLAY WITH THIS LITTLE LEAGUE SAID ON TWITTER. NORTH HOOKSETT MANCHESTER LITTLE LEAGUE ARE NOW THE NEW ENGLAND CHAMPS. HOLY WOW. ME AND MY TEAM ARE PULLING FOR YOU, AND RIGHT IN THE FRONT ROW IS A YOUNG FUTURE HOLLYWOOD STAR. HOPEFULLY YOU ARE WATCHING TONIGHT, ADAM, AND FINDING OUT THE RESULTS OF THIS ONE. THAT ONE TO CORRY, AND IT WILL RETIRE MASON DEVALL. >> WE HAVE SEEN REALLY GOOD HAIR FROM SOME OF THE PEOPLE. BUT ADAM SANDLER'S HAIR THERE IS FUN. >> IF HE MADE IT TO THE IT WILL LEAGUE WORLD SERIES, HE CERTAINLY WOULD BE IN THE CONVERSATION FOR THE GREATEST HAIR OF ALL TIME. >> I KNOW WE HAD A BIT OF A HAIR OFF ON THE FIELD. I WISH WE HAD SEEN THAT. >> UECKER DEALS AND THAT IS BALL ONE. >> IAN GOING BACK TO ADAM SANDLER. YOU HAVE A COUPLE ADAM SANDLER FANS HERE, NEW HAMPSHIRE'S SECOND BASEMAN HEATH. HIS FAVORITE MOVIE IS "GROWN-UPS," I LOVE IT. I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE SO MANY TIMES. >> CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BEST. AND LUCIER RIPS ONE TO RIGHT. 3 FOR 4 WITH A HOMER. >> IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS BEATING HIMSELF UP AN IT WILL MIT. HE IS RIGHT THERE, AND JUST TOO FAR. THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO. HE IS FULLY EXTENDED. HAD THE GLOVE OUT AND THE BALL IS IT WILL A LITTLE TOO HARD. >> MONET, THE TOP OF THE ORDER IS STILL HERE, AND GETTING IT DONE FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> JUST LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD. THEY SCORED ONE EACH INNING, AND THAT TOP OF THE ORDER, THEY REALLY SET THE TONE FOR THE GAME, AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT BACKING DOWN. CONSIDERING THE SIX RUNS THEY GAVE UP IN THE SIXTH INNING. >> AND HERE IS CALEN WITH A BEAM TO RIGHT FIELD AND IT WILL CARRY OVER THE BENCH. THE LUCIER TWINS DOMINATING FROM WILLIAMSPORT, TACKING ON TWO MORE RUNS. UNBELIEVABLE, CALEN AND TRISTAN SCORE. 14th HIT OF THE NIGHT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND A GINGER. WE ARE FOUND A GINGER. >> WE FINALLY FOUND A GINGER. WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE? >> IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER BREAKING BALL IT DROPS IN THE WHEEL HOUSE FOR HIM, AND IT TURNS ON HIM, AND HE LAUNCHES IT TO RIGHT FIELD. >> AND THE TWINS TONIGHT AS WE GET TO 360 SHY OF THE BLAST, ARE 5 FOR 8, TWO HOMERS, AND SIX RBIs. THEY HAVE BATTED IN HALF OF NEW HAMPSHIRE'S 12 RUNS. AND RIGHT FIELD IS BECOMING THEIR BEST FRIEND. >> FOR THE TWIN BROTHERS, I WAS SPEAKING WITH THEIR MOM EARLIER, BOTH WITH HOME RUNS. I MEAN, ACTUALLY TRISTAN IS OLDER BY TWO MINUTES. JUST BY TWO MINUTES, HE'S THE OLDEST. THE BROTHER, THE KID BROTHER, WITH THE PACIFIER, HE KNEW. MAYBE WE WILL SEE HIM IN EIGHT OR NINE YEARS. >> UECKER STILL ON THE BUMP FOR OREGON, AND KEITH TOWNSEND IN THE BATTER'S BOX. THE L.A. OUT IN THE TOP OF THE FIFTH. CROOKED NUMBERS IN THREE OF FIVE INNINGS, AND JUST ALL SMILES AND A NICE LOOKING SMILE >> THE >> THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES CONTINUES TOMORROW. THE WINNER OF THIS GAME WILL FACE OHIO, NEW ENGLAND, CALIFORNIA, SOUTH DAKOTA, AND MICHIGAN VERSUS HONOLULU. NEBRASKA, SORRY N THE HANK IRON BRACKET. SEE YOU FOR A NEW SLATE OF GAMES. 12-6 WILL SCORE. AS "NFL INSIDERS" NOW HAS PUT UP CROOKED NUMBERS IN THE FIRST, SECOND AND FIFTH INNING AND THEY SCORED EVERY SINGLE WINNING, AT LEAST ONE RUN. ALREADY THE HIGHEST SCORING GAME SO FAR THIS YEAR IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES, AND A WHIFF TO MAKE IT 0-2. >> GOOD SWING THERE. HE LOOKED LIKE HE PULLED HIS HEAD OUT. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OREGON TO JUST GET ON BASE. >> BREAKING OFF THE PLATE, AND HE IS AWARDED BALL ONE. AND YOU SEE WHAT HE DOES, AND HE HAS TAKEN UP FENCING, YEAH, THAT IS THE SAME KID. AND HE CAN TAKE ANY OF US OUT. SUCH AN INTERESTING SPORT FOR A KID TO PICK UP. 2-2 THE COUNT. >> I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ANY WHERE NEAR SOMEONE WITH A FENCING POLL. >> NO, AND I'M CURIOUS, I KNOW YOU PLAY SOFTBALL, BASKETBALL. IS THERE ANY OTHER SPORT? >> I PLAYED SOCCER. I TRIED LACROSSE ONCE. I WENT TO LEARN GOLF AND TENNIS. HOPEFULLY I CAN TRY TO LEARN -- >> THAT ONE, NOT A PART OF THE 15-YEAR PLAN. >> MAYBE MORE OF A YEAR PLAN. >> OKAY. >> HAMILTON THIS YEAR, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ROAM THE TENNIS COURT. >> HAMPTON HAS A GREAT TENNIS TEAM. I DON'T WANT TO DISTURB THAT. >> COLE STURGEON STRIKES OUT SWINGING. LUKE SMITH SHOWS BUNT. FOULED DOWN THE LINE. 0-1. OREGON NEEDING OFFENSE. THEY ARE THE HOME TEAM IN THE GAME, SO THEY WILL GET THE BOTTOM OF THE SIXTH AS WELL. AS THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE SIX-RUN DEFICIT IN THE ELIMINATION GAME. THE 0-1,fn AND REALLY GOOD STUF. 36 PITCHES IN AS HE TOOK OVER FOR DEVALL EARLIER IN THE GAME. THE 0-2 ON THE WAY, AND UPSTAIRS. >> THE OREGON HITTERS LOOKING COMFORTABLE, AND FOULING OFF THE ONES THEY DON'T LIKE. JUST LOOKING REALLY COMFORTABLE AND POISED AT THE PLATE. >> AND MONET, SPEAKING OF POISE. WE HAVE SEEN REALLY STRONG AT-BATS FROM BOTH SIDES. AND GUYS ARE FINDING WAYS TO CONSISTENTLY KEEP BATTLING BEHIND IN THE COUNT. SWING AND A MISS. STRIKEOUT. >> GOING BACK TO ACEVEDO, WE HAVE SEEN GREAT AT-BATS THE. >> I NOTICE. THE THREE BATTERS WILL TRY TO SNEAK BASE RUNNERS ON. WHICH ISN'T A BAD IDEA. BUT PUTTING YOURSELF IN A HOLE, YOU CAN CLIMB BACK JUST LIKE THEY HAVE GREAT AT-BATS, AND YOU KNOW, STILL HAVE AN INNING LEFT TO TRY TO PUT UP RUNS. THEY ALREADY SCORED SIX IN ONE INNING. I THINK THEY CAN DO IT. >> NO ON, NOBODY OUT. PITCH HIGH AND AWAY. BALL ONE. >> IN ORDER TO SCORE SIX RUNS, THEY HAVE TO GET A RALLY STARTED. HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW. ELLIS BAYNE LOOKING TO START ONE HERE. >> BAYNE, AHEAD IN THE COUNT. TWO BALLS AND ONE STRIKE. NOW OVER 40 PITCHES FOR ACEVEDO, LOOKING TO GET HIS THIRD OUT HERE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SIXTH. STILL CANNOT GET THE BALL TO DROP. THE TOP OF THE ZONE, 3-1. >> HE'S BEEN TALKING ALL ABOUT SPORTS, ELLIS BAYNE, ACTUALLY A SWIMMER. HE LIKES TO SWIM. HE DOESN'T DO IT COMPETITIVELY, BUT DOES IT IN HIS FREE TIME. >> THAT IS A WALK FOR HIM. AND THIS IS A WIDE STAT ABOUT HIM. THE SWIMMING IS GREAT. BUT BAYNE IS A DISTANT RELATIVE OF A LATE MLB HALL OF FAMER TY COBB WHO PLAYED BACK IN THE 1920s. AND WAS A GREAT PLAYER, AS I MENTIONED. ALSO, ALL THE KIDS ARE SAYING THEY WANT -- YOU KNOW WHERE HE WANTS TO VISIT? POMPEY. CHASE KELLY ON, AND ACEVEDO DEALS, AND MONET, ANOTHER ONE TOO HIGH. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF HIGHS THIS INNING. HAD SOME SWINGS AND. >> ANOTHER BALL ISSUES FROM ACEVEDO. KELLY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. 1 FOR 3 TONIGHT. HE HAS THROWN SEVEN BALLS IN A ROW, AND FINALLY, THE STRIKE ENDS, AND A BREAK DOWN BROADWAY. RUNNER ON FIRST, AND OUTSIDE, NO, IT GETS THE CALL. COUNT IS FULL, AND ACEVEDO LOOKING FOR PITCH THREE, AND A SIMILAR LOCATION, AND CALLED A BALL AND THE FULL COUNT, A WALK, BACK-TO-BACK WALK ISSUES ISSUED BY ACEVEDO. HERE COMES ROBERTSON. >> DID YOU HAVE IT HAPPEN TO YOU, WHERE YOU THROW THE SAME PITCH TWICE. >> I THREW A FASTBALL DOWN THE MIDDLE, AND WEDNESDAYED UP LOSING A GAME. IT WAS A HEART BREAKER. >> YOU DIDN'T LOSE YOUR COOL. >> NO, IT WAS A GOOD TOURNAMENT FOR US. OUR LAST TOURNAMENT, ON A SMALL FIELD. I FELT BAD ONCE I SAW MY TEAMMATES CRYING, AND AFTER THE GAME, I HUGGED EACH ONE OF THEM, AND SHE WAS LIKE, IT'S ALREADY, WE WILL BOUNCE BACK. >> RICHARDSON LINES ONE THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE FIELD, AND THE BASES ARE LOADED FROM THE SINGLE FROM ROBERTSON, AND A TWO-OUT RALLY IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FIFTH LOOKING TO CHANGE THIS BALL GAME. IN THE DIRT, AND REALLY GOOD PLAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS ABOUT WILD PITCH. >> MOW MAY, HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO AT LEAST SCORE ONE RUN HERE. >> IT GIVES THEM A BOOST OF CONFIDENCE. IT SAY CONFIDENCE BUT IT'S HUGE AT THIS AGE. TO GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE, JUST SCORING ONE RUN THAT PUTS YOU ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING ABLE SO SCORE FIVE. THEY HAVE BASES LOADED NOW. AND SCORING ONE WILL HELP. AND SCORING TWO IS BETTER, BUT COMING OUT OF THIS INNING WITH A RUN WILL BE HUGE FOR THEM. >> TWO BALLS AND A STRIKE TO ETHAN UECKER, BASES LOADED, TWO OUTS. ACEVEDO, PITCH ON THE WAY, AND IT DOES NOT GET THE LOWER THIRD OF THE ZONE, 3-1. 3-1, AND TO LEFT FIELD. >> REALLY GOOD, AND SENDING IT AS FAR AS THEY CAN GO. OREGON, UP TO SEVEN HITS ON THE GAME. LOOKING FOR EIGHT HITS WITH THE BASES LOADED, AND THE PAY OFF, ACEVEDO, AND TO RIGHT FIELD. HAS IT. AND GETTING OUT OF THE BASES LOADED JAM IS >> >> THANKS, MOM AND DAD, FOR ALWAYS SUPPORTING ME. >> THANKS FOR 1350R9ING ME. >> THANK YOU, MOM AND DAD, FOR BRINGING ME HERE, AND LETS ME DO THIS AND HELPING ME ALONG THE WAY. >> THEY HELP ME DID RESPECTFUL KID. >> I LOVE THEM, AND I WISH YOU CAN BE HERE, AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT. >> TOP OF THE SIXTH FROM WILL YOOMS SUPPORT, AND 12-6 THE SCORE OVER OREGON AT THE MOMENTUM. AND WHILE WE'RE IN THE THANKFUL MOOD, WE WANT TO THANK THE SPORTS BROADCASTING CAMP, AND BRUCE BECK FOR HELPING US ALONGSIDE ESPN TO HAVE TO OPPORTUNITY, TO NOT ONLY CALL THIS GAME, BUT THE MLB LITTLE LEAGUE CLASSIC, AND THE PRODUCER AND HIS CREW WHO HAVE MADE THE PAST WEEK A SPECIAL ONE FOR ALL OF US INVOLVED. AND UECKER ON HIS FIRST PITCH, BALL ONE. FOUL, 1-1. >> NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS A COMFORTING LEAD ALREADY. >> IT'S AN ELIMINATION GAME. >> AND MONET, YOU JUST GOT A FWEET TWEET THAT CONFIRMED WHICH ANIMAL MONET IS. >> DUGOUT IS A GOPHER. >> WHO WOULD YOU THAT ON TWITTER? >> IT WAS ONE OF THE HANDLERS, AND THIS IS HANDLED WELL TO RIGHT FIELD AND IT'S GONE. RYSON MICHAUD, FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> THE BIGGEST STAGE, THAT'Sg? WAY TO GO OUT. >> WHAT A WAY TO DO IT. JUST PEDAL TO THE METAL. TO RIGHT FIELD. LOOK AT THE REACTION HERE, AND TALK ABOUT THE ANTICIPATION THAT BUILDS UP BEFORE THE BALL GOES OVER THE FENCE, MONET. WHEN DO YOU TRULY -- I KNOW YOU KNOW WHEN THE BALL IS GONE, BUT IS THERE A POINT WHERE YOU JUST KNOW, SEE YOU LATER? >> SOMETIMES, PEOPLE KNOW OFF THE BAT, YOU CAN FEEL IT, YOU MIGHT NOT FEEL IT. BUT YOU CAN FEEL IT -- JUST A QUICK SWING -- AS SOON AS IT GETS OFF THE BAT IT DRIBBLED A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF HIM. LOOKED LIKE HE HAD A CHANCE AT THAT. ARE THEY GOING TO SAY HE'S ON? NO. THEY CALL THEM OUT AT FIRST, THE THROW FROM CAYLOR, THE CATCHER. WHAT DO WE THINK? >> IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS SAFE. THAT DEFINITELY GOT DOWN BMP IT ENTERED THE GLOVE. >> AND HOPING ALL THE HARD WORK PAYS OFF WITH A BASE HIT. THE BALL ON THE FIELD IS OUT AT FIRST. BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE IS CHALLENGING IT. >> THE BIG HITTER PROBABLY NOT USED TO BUNTING SO MUCH. >> DID HE BUNT THERE? >> THAT IS MORE OF A SWINGING BUNT. >> SWINGING BUNT, SAME THING. >> A SHORT BALL. >> STILL A HIT IN THE BOOKS. >> YEAH. >> AND HE IS OFFICIALLY SAFE. THE SWINGING BUNT PAYING OFF, A ONE-OUT SINGLE. >> THAT IS TWO SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGES WE HAVE SEEN TODAY. REALLY GOOD JOB BLOCKING THE PLATE CLOSELY AND OVERTURNING PLAYS WHEN THEY NEED IT. AND THROW TO FIRST. >> FRIDAY NIGHT, AN MLS DOUBLE HEADER. WE START AT 6:30 WITH THE OHIO DERBY BETWEEN COLUMBUS AND CINCINNATI. THEN THE BATTLE FOR FLORIDA BETWEEN ORLANDO CITY AND MIAMI. BOTH MATCHES ARE AVAILABLE ON ESPN DEPORTES AND ESPN APP. ONE APP, ONE TAP. >> BOTTOM OF THE ORDER FOR THE FOUL, AND IN THE STADIUM, 0-1. RUNNER ON SECOND. IT SHOULD SAY, CHAUVETTE ADVANCES TO SECOND AFTER A GROUND OUT FROM HIS TEAMMATE CONNOLLY. CALLED STRIKE INSIDE, 0-2. >> A LITTLE FIELDER'S CHOICE ACTION ON THE PLAY BEFORE. >> ACEVEDO, 1 FOR 2 TONIGHT. 1 FOR 7 SO FAR IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES. AWAY FROM THE CATCHER, CHAUVETTE, AND HE MAKES IT TO THIRD. ORIGINALLY SINGLED, TOOK SECOND ON THE FIELDER'S CHOICE, AND NOW ON THIRD. >> HE IS MAKING HIS WAY AROUND THE BASES. >> BASE HIT AND YOU'RE SCORING, AND NEW HAMPSHIRE MANAGER TIM DEVALL WANTS ANOTHER RUN. ACEVEDO FOUL AGAIN. OVER THE RIGHT FIELD BLEACHERS. 13-6 GAME IN NEW HAMPSHIRE'S FAVOR. EVAN UECKER LOOKS ON. HE HAS THROWN 56 PITCHES. STARTED THE GAME CATCHING, LINED FOUL. AND HOW IS THAT TRANSITION? AND HOW IS IT FOR LITTLE LEAGUERS WHO PITCH AND CATCH WITH THAT KIND OF KNOWLEDGE? >> I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE PITCHER TO CATCHER, YOU ARE IN THE STRIKE ZONE, AND THE PITCHES THEY ARE GOING TO CALL. IT'S DIFFICULT. YOU ARE THROWING -- THE THING ABOUT PITCHES, CATCHING AS YOU ARE CATCHING A PITCH. YOU ARE THROWING A BALL BACK JUST AS MUCH. HE'S BEEN PHENOMENAL SO FAR FOR THE OREGON TEAM. >> THAT HE HAS. UECKER, TRYING TO KEEP IT A BALL GAME. A SEVEN-RUN LEAD FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. 1-2 ON THE WAY. LINED TO THE SHORTSTOP, AND THAT IS A GROUND OUT. BUT A RBI GROUND OUT AS TYLER CHAUVETTE COMES HOME, AND THAT IS RUN NUMBER 14 ON THE DAY FOR THE TEAM. AN 8-1 LEAD. >> WHAT IS GOING THROUGH OREGON'S MIND? >> YOU HAVE TO GET THE BASE RUNNERS. I USUALLY WOULD SAY TAKE A STRIKE TO BUILD UP THE PITCH COUNT. BUT JUST GETTING BASE RUNNERS. >> LaBRANCHE IS GOING TO GROUND OUT TO THIRD, AND THAT WILL GET US OUT HERE IN THE TOP OF THE SIXTH INNING. BOTTOM SIXTH AND ONE TEAM WILL >> W >> WELCOME BACK TO LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES. LET'S LISTEN TO THE OREGON DUGOUT BETWEEN INNINGS AND WHAT THE MESSAGE WAS. >> IF THERE IS EVER A TIME TO DO SNOWMAN, IT'S NOW. IT CAN BE DONE. YOU BELIEVE IT CAN BE DONE? >> YES, SIR! >> IF WE BELIEVE IT, WE CAN DO IT. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE UP. WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT THE WHOLE INNING THROUGH. YOU UNDERSTAND? >> YES, SIR. >> LET'S GO OUT AND DO WHAT WE CAN TO WIN THE GAME. YOU GUYS CAN DO IT. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO. >> ONE AT A TIME. >> AND THAT IS DEFINITELY THE MENTALITY YOU HAVE TO HAVE. THAT IS THIRD BASE COACH TONY STURGEON, THE FATHER OF COLE, GIVING THE MESSAGE TO HIS TEAM HERE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SIXTH. A GREAT STAT FOR YOU HERE. THE LAST TIME A TEAM A FOUR HOME RUNS IN A GAME IN THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES, 2017, FOUR YEARS AGO AND SOUTH KOREA HIT FOUR AGAINST THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY INTERNATIONAL TEAMS THIS SEASON DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE BACK IN 2022. CREW CORRY AT THE PLATE, AHEAD, AND OUT OF THE WAY FOR BALL FOUR A LEAD-OFF WALK. >> THAT'S A WAY TO START IT OFF. HOW DOES IT HELP MOMENTUM? >> YOU ALWAYS WANT TO GET A LEAD-OFF BATTER ON. A WALK, A SINGLE, WHATEVER, YOU WANT TO GET A LEAD YUF BATTER ON, AND JUST GO FROM HERE, YOU CAN BUNT HIM OVER OR LET THEM PLAY, LET THEM HIT. >> JACKSON CAYLOR, NUMBER 8, STEPS UP IN THE BATTER'S BOX. RUNNER ON FIRST AND NO OUTS. OREGON NEEDS EIGHT RUNS. IT LANDS IN FOR STRIKE ONE. >> DO YOU THINK THEY WILL LET HIM FINISH THE GAME? >> IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY RUNS -- IF THEY SCORE, HOW MANY RUNS. >> POPPED UP TO RIGHT CENTER, AND TRISTAN LUCIER MAKES THE PLAY. TWO OUTS AWAY FROM ADVANCING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.@ A RUNNER ON FIRST AND ONE OUT, AND THE DEAL, LOW, BALL ONE. AWAY, AND THE RUNNER STAYS AT FIRST. >>> YOU SUE HIM WALKING THAT, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON SECOND RIGHT NOW. >> AND HEHER, HE SAYS WHEN HE IS NOT PLAYING SPORTS, HE LIKES TO PLAY WHIFFLE BALL, AND I'M IN A WHIFFLE BALL LEAGUE, AND LAST I CHECKED, WHIFFLE BALL IS A SPORT. HE IS SPORT 24/7, I GUESS. >> HE IS BASICALLY YOU. >> WELL, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT. HE'S GOT MORE GUTS THAN ME. I WOULD BE SCARED TO BE UP THERE RIGHT NOW. BUT HE WORKS A WALK, OR MAYBE THAT IS WHAT HE THOUGHT. A CALLED STRIKE. 3-1. >> MONET, HAVE YOU HAD IT TOP TO YOU WHERE YOU THINK YOU STRUCK OR WALKED? >> WHAT A BUNT, AND HE IS GOING TO BEAT IT OUT. FIRST AND SECOND WITH ONE OUT. >> IF THAT HAD GOTTEN BY, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE RUNNERS WOULD BE RIGHT NOW. >> NOT IN TIME. >> HE HAD THE SPEED TO ADMIRE IT AND GET DOWN. >> WE WERE NOT PLESSED WITH THAT. AND HOW FAST WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE? >> I'M NOT FAST. >> I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER MYSELF A SMART BASE RUNNER. >> SO EMOTIONS ARE THE ENEMY OF HITTING. YOU HAVE TO BE CALM RIGHT NOW. >> IT GOES DOWN THE THIRD BASELINE. THE RUNNERS WILL ADVANCE AND HE IS OUT AT FIRST. >> THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL BUNT THOUGH. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH AS GOOD AS YOU CAN GET. RIGHT DOWN THE LINE, CLOSE TO THE LINE, MAKES EVERYONE GET OFF. >> IF THAT DOESN'T SCREEN CHALLENGE THIS PLEASE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES. COLE STURGEON DID EXACTLY WHAT HIS POPS TOLD HIM. IT WORKED, AND OH, THAT IS SUCH A CLOSE CALL. DID 9 BACK OF HIS RIGHT FOOT TOUCH THE FIRST BASE BAG? ANOTHER LOOK. IS IT TOUCHING THE BASE OR -- >> I THINK IT'S TOUCHING THE BASE. >> I THINK IT'S THE FUZZ OF THE FRAME. >> WE'LL SEE FROM THE BACKSIDE ANGLE, WE JUST CAN'T SEE WHEN THE BALL ACTUALLY REALLY GETS TO CALEN LUCIER'S MITT, AND RIGHT HERE, I THINK HE'S SAFE. I DON'T THINK HE GETS IT UNTIL THE LAST FRAME. BUT THEY'RE GOING TO CALL HIM OUT. CALL STANDS. BUT ONE HECK OF A BUNT NONETHELESS FROM COLE STURGEON. HIS FATHER SMILES. COULDN'T GET THAT CALL. BUT HIS SON DID A JOB. ACEVEDO, STRIKE ONE. >> TWO STRIKES LEFT IN THE BALL GAME. >> UP TO BAT IS RYAN WARHANK. 0 FOR 2 TONIGHT. PLAYING CENTER FIELD NOW. OUT OF THE GLOVE OF CHAUVETTE, AND RUNNERS STAY AT SECOND AND THIRD. >> WHAT IS LUKE SMITH THINKING RIGHT NOW? >> UNFORTUNATELY, LUKE MYTH MAKES THE LAST
