LLWS: On TV this weekend

[regaleagle]

Lufkin just went ahead with a two-run shot in the top of the 6th.....6-5. Now North Carolina comes to bat in the bottom of the 6th to tie it up or win it. Texas has a relief pitcher in since last inning after one out. Not sure if the reliever has enough heat to keep this North Carolina club at bay.......we'll see right now.

[regaleagle]

Yeah.....he's got enough heat and also a very good curve ball. Grounder to 3rd is thrown out. One out and two to go now. He strikes out the 2nd batter. One out left now for Texas to win the American Title.

[regaleagle]

Grounder to shortstop and he's thrown out at first......Texas wins it! Texas wins it! What a comeback and what a game by this fiesty Texas team. North Carolina just was not able to get their hits when they needed them.....they depended too much on their pitching. I firmly believed this Lufkin team was better coached and overall had the better players. In the end, they showed up and won it to advance to tomorrow's Championship game against Japan. Lufkin is now the United States World Champions of Little League in 2017. Congratulations Boyz......you earned it the old fashioned way!

They call themselves "The Thundering Thirteen".......thirteen boys that will play every game as a team. In Little League, the rule is that every player must get at least one at bat......everybody plays in every game.

I'm ashamed to say that I quit watching when they were down 0-5; what a surprise when I turned back on at the bottom of the 5th; 4-5.

Great pep talk by Texas Coach at the start of the 6th and so cool when that kid hit a 2 run homer!!

We were driving back from College Station and missed it. I went to watch highlights, but they didn't show the winning homerun...will have to find a full replay leter.

[regaleagle]

First pitch of the Championship game Texas lead-off batter smacks a homer. 3rd batter another homer.

End of 1st
Texas 2
Japan 0

[regaleagle]

Texas top 3 starters are not eligible to pitch today. Japan has their full arsenal. Texas will have to beat them with their offense and good defensive plays......swing the bats Boyz.

[regaleagle]

Too many strike outs so far by the Texas hitters. Japan has plenty of good pitchers at their disposal today. This will be a tough one for Texas to win.....just saying. 3 strike outs in the top of the 2nd. Japan coming to bat.

[regaleagle]

Two run triple with 2 outs by Japan's best hitter ties it up. Another run scores also.

End of 2nd
Texas 2
Japan 3

[regaleagle]

The Texas hitters need to put the ball in play......just hit the ball with the bat......put pressure on the Japan pitcher and fielders. Top of the order up for Texas this inning.

[regaleagle]

Strike out, now a fly out to center by Deason. Ditsworth up now.....he hit one of the homers in the first. He chases one outside for another strike out for Japan. Not looking good for the Texas hitters now. Japan quickly back up to bat now.
