regaleagle Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Home state Pennsylvania has a big guy on the mound that looks pretty good, too. They are the Mid Atlantic representative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The Stadium is literally packed because Pennsylvania is playing. Very huge crowd for such an early game.....most probably will be the largest first game attendance of the Little League World Series this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Needville will need to put the ball in play offensively against the Rocket Arm of the Pennsylvania pitcher who has a great fastball and great location on the corners. He's a big guy for his age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Needville loads the bases on mishandled infield grounder, a hit, and a walk.....then the inning ends with an out at the plate on a pass ball that hits off the backstop and returns right back to the catcher. He fields it quickly and runs to the plate to block the runner from scoring. Still tied with no score going to the bottom of the 3rd. Needville looks like they will be a tough team today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 New rule this season in Little League......all players bat in the regular lineup. So normally there are 12 players on the team.....so 12 batters in the lineup. That's a big wrinkle, Huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Mid Atlantic has 11 today......one guy is out with an elbow injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Needville scores 2 in the top of the 4th to take the lead. Their 3rd baseman made a stellar play at the hot corner last inning and a great throw to first to get the out on a smashed grounder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Needville is very technically sound in the infield.....they look very good defensively. 2 outs on 2 hard hit grounders so far in this bottom of the 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Jablonski gets another strikeout to end the inning. Going to the top of the 5th with Needville back at the plate. Edited August 17 by regaleagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) New pitcher now for Pennsylvania......the shortstop. Let's see how Needville handles this guy. Looks like he has more offspeed pitches. And not near the fastball or the location......he walks the first batter. Edited August 17 by regaleagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 To the bottom of the 5th.....Needville leads 2-0. Jablonski back on the mound for Needville. Has retired the last 9 batters. Not sure how many strikeouts at this point, but enough for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Pennsylvania scores a run on a great hard hit triple to the left field fence, then an Rbi grounder to 2nd. Needville coming up for their last bat in the top of the 6th. Needville 2 Pennsylvania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Pennsylvania's 2nd pitcher the shortstop has pretty decent stuff too. He's done a good job throwing strikes and mixing in the fast ball and the off speed stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Basehit to right field by Needville.....one out and runner on first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Line shot to 3rd base doubles off the runner at 1st for the 2nd time tonight for this Mid Atlantic team. They have one last at bat to tie it or win. Edited August 17 by regaleagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 A pitcher is limited to 85 pitches in Little League. So far, Jablonski has 7 pitches left for Needville. He will try to get at least one out here. UH-OH.....he had 2 strikes and hit the batter. No outs and runner on first. His first mistake today on the mound. It may have hit the knob of the bat.....under review.

regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Looks like it hit the batter's wrist, not the knob of the bat. It's very close to call....even on the replay. Replay slomo shows it hit the knob of the bat. They zoomed it... and a foul ball is the call.....the correct call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Jablonski comes back with the fastball for the strikeout.....one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Last pitch now for Jablonski.....one ball one strike....and now a foul ball for strike two. I guess he can finish the batter by the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Grounder to shortstop.....out at first. Jablonski is done and smiling. A great showing for Jablonski tonight. One more out and Needville will advance in the winner's bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
