down for for about 45 minutes gives way to a sky that looks like that picture postcard night all of a sudden here if you're joining us at the top of the hour you win we welcome you to ESPN's coverage of this Little League World Series presented by t-mobile and what a game we have this elimination game winner goes on to play for a United States Championship and these two teams have been kind of near the top of their regions and States all summer long there was an awareness that this Louisiana team from just outside of New Orleans Bay the kids from New Orleans we're really gonna be good this year the same for the kids from south riding Little League in Virginia they knew they were gonna be good Kuras sound knocks out South Korea about the performance today by Clay Winkler first in a grand slam and that got the entire Carosa crowd and island all fired up and then they turned it over to this dude curly Martha he faced five and he struck all of them out they didn't have a chance against him today so Kurosawa in Japan has set the winner will win the international championship that game Saturday on ABC at 12:30 Eastern Time and we have Hawaii already in the United States title game and they'll get the winner of this one Virginia and Louisiana all right we are ready for baseball Julie Foudy is all fired up she'll join us in just a moment David Ross Kyle Peterson look you hope you'll get into a tournament and certain things unfold the way that this one has and this should be a phenomenal game two great starting pitchers on the mound start with a cue actually got hit for the first time Justin Lee last night he did that nobody hit Virginia pitching the first two in fact their first two games were no-hitter no-hitter Justin Lee would complete game in one of those a little different story against Hawaii but I think this coaching staff from Virginia recognized it right away which is why they've got Justin Lee out when they did so he could come back today because you can see when the stuff is right Justin Lee has been one of the main reasons why Virginia's here it's a first-time Virginia's been in this Little League World Series since 1994 for more on Virginia it's added Julie Foudy that's right I talked to coach about and actually about the craziness of last night he said look we would like less crazy tonight we do not want to repeat it last night they said very unusual for this team to commit that Meniere's they want to clean it up they did mention that Justin Lee starting on the mound as you were discussing having a bit of a back issue he was stretching it in the training room before the game I saw him on the bench before warm-ups he said it feels fine I'm ready to go most importantly I talked to the guys and said all right how was the turnaround last night they said we had pizza all in the world big subjects everything better the man I think we can all agree that pizza generally makes everything better if the back is right he's gonna be good but sometimes you know hitting can't cause good pitching some trouble and they got a really good hitter on Louisiana oh you're exactly right Reese Roussel he's absolutely rape talk about a man swing this kicking hit it's the arm field Reese Russo he's been the star of this tournament multi hits in each of his four games so far he's 9 for 13 2 doubles his knight hits lead to this tournament he's been an absolute stud they got another guy on this team jarick de la he can flat-out rig I mean these guys in two of the top three hitters in this tournament come for this Louisiana team they can hit combined 15 for 23 they rigged Reese coots down the line I mean he's a stud he's a stud he's a stud that's sort of a long and short of it if you will Roussell mine hits two last six hits we got 15 between them United States I haven't met a lot of homers but Brady gates on the other side port Virginia has one of them he of course will be in the lineup tonight it's the orange of the yellow that's the guy right there we're gonna play 21 questions with as we come back to the first pitch slider question hey Ryder jib time for some questions yep what was the last thing you ate pancakes to prefer sweet or salty food salty gumbo or jambalaya jambalaya what superpower would you like to have fly what's your favorite movie major-league cups or pirates would you rather hit a walk-off or pitch a no-hitter walk-off can I ask you a couple more questions nope gotta go to practice of course have fun from a distance they look like a bunch of little ants coming down a hill but when you get up close man those kids are having a blast that rain did not deter them from going hill sliding mom and dad may not be delighted with the backseats hitch we may have to separate those down before those bows are being tossed but how about little got getting right in front here we go Oh waiting in line no you guys aren't going I'm gone oh my light is green that's part of the fun that

gonna keep an eye just a nice night little back tightness [Applause] and after marshal Luke Hawaii gave him some headaches too and it's another guy with a power fastball and a good breaking ball yeah he's got his work cut out for him today this Virginian group 349 is a team in this tournament they can flat-out hit you got a big-time fastball no one runs so far but you're right he didn't get hit around by that Hawaii team that how I team is really good at putting bat on the ball legit no just Burt chase bulbs garden led things off last night and we saw him also try to avoid a tag at home plate seem to land awkwardly on his shoulder he was looked at by the training stuff and he's okay and he's back in here tonight as oaks garden tours that one o pitch in for a fastball that big first strike guy only about 37% of his pitches in therefore first strikes once he finds it though you can see that it can groove it it'll son behind it tonight three straight fastballs for Luke to start it nasty breaking pitch and a strikeout to start it I've got one of those two three fast balls and then this one and that's that's not really fair at 12 it's all the way around it looks like a fastball right down to middle bottom drops out first out to strike out alright so we're cooking oil we've got one strike cut Brandi radiates has a home run here at the Little League World Series [Applause] [Applause] you see a lot of these kids who identify other sports athletes as their favorite a lot of these kids play multiple sports and another one fouled off that was almost a replay of the prior pitch and the same result [Applause] he's a basketball center on his basketball team at 5-8 127 whoops miss Marshall ooh club tonight he's coming out hot you could tell in the warm-ups he looked like he had a different gear tonight than the last time we've seen it on the mound just the four-seamer here it is right up in the zone two foul balls and you know what here I come strike three back-to-back punches and all right here's Lee it should be a good matchup breaking ball he swings over the top of that he's walked four times Lee good eye six runs for four six had a huge regional you can see what he did there with the five bombs the Oh 171 miles an hour that yellow box lights up mound is 46 feet away on the inside corner at Marshall Luke strikes out oaks garden Yates and Lee and it didn't take him but 10 pitches to get it done Wow striking out your side is the thing then that works that okay punched out on the breaking ball to follow the hedges beyond the outfield at la MIDI and Virginia and Louisiana go to the bottom of the first elimination game winner to the United States Championship it's been a long summer but boy it can culminate with a championship that would make it all the much sweeter River Ridge Louisiana the suburb of New Orleans about nine miles west of the French Quarter several of these kids call New Orleans home it's located in Jefferson Parish Chloe

Adamson fresh here we are with this team from Louisiana there's the guy that basically started a little league about six years ago along with Derick de latts dad those two are in charge there Derick de lat and Scott Frazier they six years ago I didn't have a little big day here watching teams like Lake Charles Louisiana and Lafayette Louisiana traditional powers in that state make it to the League World Series in around that New Orleans area there was no Little League so six years ago they built one and if you build it you may someday end up there on that field here in South Williamsport that's a shot for you right there now you see Justin Lake kind of making sure that back is loose and stretched out March - Luke strikes out the side on tan pitches and here comes this Louisiana fence it's Ryan Dara rescrew cell and then Luke all right his strike zone is looking good tonight for these guys there's a different energy in the stadium tonight I feel like both teams came with their a game coming bringing that good energy big-time game tonight that's nasty until already just a little bit first two pitches a little more center cut yesterday it gets too white lead along those balls drifting middle in the head Oh to set up outside that's where it is and strikeout for the starter for Virginia dad proud of that got the lucky Celtic green hat on got a little three leaf clover in the corner the way Leah's play it all summer long not a lot of luck associated with his success it's another good matchup here we've talked about Reese Roussel his ability of the hit he's had some great postgame interviews kind of simplifies it and he's incredibly confident love listen to him talk about what his approach is how he clears his mind when he gets in the box just wants to get in there has tons of confidence says he just tells that picture to bring it that's a good pitch in there for a strike his nickname LaRue sells is 380 he was kind of talking some trash with some kids saying he hits it 380 feet on this dinger as his teammates and one of his more importantly one of his friends mom's overheard it so that led to the 380 what a mom hears it you know you're kind of toast Mads now it's gonna stick that's circulating in a group of people that is not gonna let him live that one down a little late little plastic ladybug that they rubbed for good luck I told him as good as he's hitting you better be careful keep that thing hidden there's gonna be big leaguers knocking at your door for that ladybug you keep hitting 700 one two good take another guy to keep our eye on is the salt and pepper behind home plate no whole pepper love the pepper what Roussel does though man he makes you kind of pitched a little differently you stay away he's got home run power for sure hasn't hit one yet over the wall three two challenge shot this one to the left-center field gap going back and he won't get it race free sell unbelievable picks up his 10th hit at the Little League World Series he's 10 for 14 a double oh man grab you talked about it this is exactly what he does he gets in back into the count even when you fall get ahead of him he to continues the foul balls off waits on his pitch and get something he can drive I can't tell you how many two strike hits we've seen him drive into the gap hit the other way great approach for such a young established hitter right here's marshal Luke first pitch to him misses let me think about this think about baseball players whether any level and Roussel has not been retired in consecutive at-bats that's nuts just a fifth game it hasn't been retired twice in a row multiple hit games every time here and in and as many of no-hit ball as we've seen he just continues to hit to all fields Luke Wow just missed that it's going to go foul and I don't want to stay down that's pretty good hat flashing that bad [Applause] now the beauty of a good lineup is that you know if you ever were to consider walking someone left your cell you got a deal with a big-time hit her like Luke here that one is lifted sky-high it's playable Ross is coming so is thyine and hoop lion fails out at the left seats and I appreciate a center fielder that's going to go and track one down but man you you're invading general Rajas turf oh yeah quit hogging the ball and you see him right there oh oh hey I mean we need one of those stat cast right Joel or no rule 15 feet Liam moved 150 strike one - another really good hitter this is Conor parrot he's the first baseman it's got five runs batted in part of that is because Roose sells on base all the time but even that high fly out from Luke sounded a little different yeah see too many little league fly balls that go that high this one to right field that's where Bowden is he's come in and he makes the play so Justin Lee works around a rescrew sell double one inning in the books feels like we're in for a good one here tonight at the wind league world series series Louisiana set to take the field one more time gets a little dark at the top of the hill but boy there's the diamond down the bottom of it you got to get to and that of course is lava tea stadium marshal Luke he threw 10 pitches he struck out the side in the top of the first inning Marshall is a huge kid who's got a huge heart he is a role model to his brother and vice versa brother Maddox he had to deal with kidney cancer diagnosis three years ago this March had a stem cell transplant at the hospital man this is what you do if you're a Luke brother when you're feeling up to it you're getting a bat and to the credit of the hospital they realize we got to get this guy up and doing what he loves to do it he was just gripping the ball in the hallway Julie is with the parents hey Maddox I got Carmen I got Maddox I guess baby and I got the whole family here Maddox they were just rolling your video that's a pretty nice swing there buddy hey I know this is a tough road for you guys for the last three years and especially this year you had to leave New Orleans go to Houston how long was Maddox in the hospital for the stem cell transplant we were in Houston for about three months I was with Maddox for about three months Fabian was with us bottom all and yeah we had to leave home leave Marsha behind wait my mom dad mother-in-law father and dad that was you pitching to Maddux in the hospital I know and you've been also helping Marshall out on on the bound what does it mean just to be here in this moment have Maddux on your lap nice amazing uh and him to be able to come up here and watch his brother me this is amazing it's really amazing hey Maddux how you feeling buddy good you were pounding five banana sandwiches today so I think you're feeling really good I saw that are we gonna go for a six tonight all right hey Joey did you give any words of advice to your brother tonight no all right good talk Maddux yep beautiful Thank You Julie and it's such a good story and glad to see that he's here and I love the hospital allowing that to go on how important for kids most of these children's hospitals in other places recognize you gotta have activities for them when they're able to do that and he's watching his brother put on a show right now Maddux can rate by the way oh man and Marshall can pitch he's faced forward struck them all out yeah his big brother's been pretty good so far now fastball to get ahead breaking ball to finish guys off little brother liked that one too this is Liam thigh and he's the centerfielder who wants to catch every ball in the outfield ball that one's down to to Fabian's credit and the mom obviously you do everything you can for your child but if you just hear it baby in the dad's voice now overwhelming this moment is his thigh and gets plunked in it's gonna hurt for a while [Applause] and say it so nonchalantly that kills like that really hurts where that one landed I don't mean that me to say it without saying he got plunked that hurts yeah well it's almost when I'm up here almost that little bit of a giggle on the inside because you know how bad that hurts and especially when you're 11 and 12 years old back of the leg trying to get down there you got a lot of game left that does not feel good there's not too many kids throw as hard as Marshall Lucan when it catches you right here and this back behind the knee no good look like Liam's got a lot of fat on him either you know I never had that problem [Applause] his outfield partner Jill Ross he got jammed that's a little spinner that's gonna go foul yeah Marshall on the mound it's an opposing figure too he is 12 years old he's 5 foot 10 inches tall and weighs 132 pounds there's a football player he's a quarterback who is it a shock rather throw a touchdown pass then did a home run that ones to the wall that's a problem and finds leg is okay as he hustles down a second base in a wild pitch get our guy Egan vegan great that her behind the plate tonight he had a phenomenal performance his last time on the mound that was impressive got 10 to help this New Orleans team get here tonight that's a strike no one covering seconds to find content get off as far as he wants one in two and that wild pitch which is a a real issue for little league teams especially in close games was the first one that they had thrown in this tournament they pick up another strikeout that's five for Luke they you said the catching is gonna be so important those extra bases can come back and bite you a little bit when you got to catch her back there that you have a lot of confidence in to throw off speed especially with guys at third it runners in scoring position that's extremely important just for the psyche of your pitcher so you get our foot difference in height at the plate and at the on the pitcher's mound Michael Bowden's for nine and just swung it like he's five nine just say don't you help Michael Bowden that he's going up there let's go big boy bring it in here ready for that first pitch fastball one foot and 50 pounds Michael Bowden is given up of course Allen is the manager he's at third-base good swing of the first one that one right by him there oh and two so Michaels dad's on the field and Michael mom Kimberly in the stands [Applause] [Applause] yep Michael's been to Williamsport a couple of times he got Jam there'd the first pace Connor parrot picks it up then he's there got a couple of generations of values that have been at this field Michael and his grandfather will show you that from the 1954 Little League World Series in the KP you orchestrated that so what's the relationship there with Merrifield triplet his dad Wow that's chases favorite player yes Bennett's favorite player all the time they went to a charity auction last year bought one of which jerseys that was signed when they were driving down to regionals exit stopped at South Carolina said go on the field want to see the field of play on in college it's cool I mean it's awesome big fan it was all fired up Witt was great took him around the clubhouse is really cool than to do a really cool chases dad is from Kansas City so chase and his twin brother they root for the Royals and the Chiefs and Justin Lee's first pitched out of Gavin very in there for a strike on about a second of this one this is an elimination game these two United States teams the winner faces Hawaii Saturday on the inside corner strike two and that's not a strike I've said that a lot just not a strike the scoreboard unfortunately has two of them up there that's fouled off all right come on top of the knee I'm home come on Pat you're not gonna keep nipple Culpepper down here we go puck we even tell my saw and pepper Lori I thought talking about me and Katie's beards we should just stop there hair beard all shooting match I like his yeah I'll let some energy [Applause] this year Little League rules a little different there are no 13 year olds on any teams everybody is 10 11 or 12 they realign the calendar to fall more in line with the school calendar so September's they cut off and it's made for a different brand of baseball you little sawn the I peppers get a little salt in the eye yeah coming it all there or lettuce try and get the hair out of the way got enough of it ooh nice stop we're gonna have seven nicknames for a Pepin I love it show lettuce by the way working up a pretty good sweat back there too it's not easy you know Justin Lee's usually normally the catcher and you get a chance not to be back there all the time and get to catch the AC but I like those one of the harder or fast balls on the team being back there just sporadically as tough as a catcher pretty good battle here by Gavin berry nobody out in the second inning a couple of fly outs in the first for Louisiana that's where Lee then if you could read his mind would say that is a strike I'm sure you thought that a lot KP yeah where's that at [Applause] have a very nice rip at that fastball in [Applause] anxiety a little high here this late in the Little League World Series see if we're gonna wash this or not look nope you're not watching we gotta walk we didn't hear a strike call good at-bat there by Gavin berry fouled off some tough pitches took some borderline pitches cleaning it bad weather mom's watching or not and now Derek Delap [Applause] for Justin Lee problem has been the walk he's allowed seven of them through this Little League World Series and DeLaet on the ground fielded by Coleman to the shortstop volksgarten covering that was well done cut down all the runner there's the advantage of the left-handed first baseman is that play to the glove side right there because everything is taking you towards second base it's a much easier throw this is not easy and Matt Coleman makes it looked at what big old glove flips it about 30 feet to second base gets the lead runner he tacked that ball get out of the way of that big don't let that big hop you play it back that mall by Paul might have some top spin on it it's not oh yeah my cameraphone there that was the size of that lens they'll build you some biceps on that left side and it'll of some photography there imagine the pictures of an entire summer of Little League baseball all the way to Williamsport put together a pretty good book [Music] not the first picture she's taken I can tell locked loaded that is a VIP ball [Music] [Applause] Griner planter is coached on another team by Ben Sheets dizzy yeah good pun tier and Lee has no play I'll throw to first and he is aboard yeah he's coached by Ben Sheets a small teammate yeah writer writer came up on the we interviewed him on SportsCenter yesterday and he came out and was talking about the Ben was as with his coach I said I got some videos I need to show you in private night spot there by Ryder though really that's a true drag bunt with nice positioning seeing the third baseman Brady Yates back perfect touch there sure pins watching at home yeah thinking let's not show him this let's let's not just some locker room fun stuff this is Egan pray there he pitched a terrific game six innings the other day they calm little perm his dad of course would be big perm and a big swing and a miss Blanchard's getting way off of first base and of course with the lap down there at second they probably wouldn't mind if the pepper would throw it down there and see if they get election going pepper see if the pepper will thrown around that's the pepper boy [Applause] 1 & 2 that secondary rider Prancer doubt there he be careful in that back pick I know we won out but I'm looking to set up away and back pick here of my first basement I can fall little high he doesn't take planche at his big a lead at first base so colpepper just throws back rescrew cell hit a double in the first inning and got stranded at second so for the second straight inning here to start this game Lee is in a little bit of a pickle hit rely a little bit more eye movement to it doesn't go as hard at least right now is Lucas throwing he's got to break them all to go along with it throw them both you see that one right here nice job a foul on that one off or pray through what this easy a team does they found off some pitches make you work 36 pitches so far here for Lee only in this bottom of the second with one out negative more its it is decision time if you're already looking ahead to Saturday in the u.s. championship game 35 pitches you would be required to take two days off but you got to win this game in order to be eligible to even pitch Saturday and you can finish this at-bat and we'll see if that's the decision that's made or we just ride this one out make they're probably rolling I would think they were quick to pull pictures last night pray this worked a 3-2 count looking good job by Justin Lee for the second out think the first time I feel free to brag of all the college I didn't trust out the guys in there that is nasty after all those fast balls dumped into three two breaker I mean it would have never even crossed my mind they throw breaking ball when I was 12 patro 3-2 rep knew it did it's amazing how evolved these kids are I mean a 3-2 breaking ball with one out gonna load the bases and no problem just ice and Justin leaves veins there's another guy you like a lot the shortstop for Louisiana's name is Stan wills it's another one Lee would have liked but now falls behind 2 and oh and you're gonna get up to the top of the order after this wiltz has been an absolute rock at shortstop he's at 11 chances hadn't made an error yet [Applause] a lot of stranded runners last night in Hawaii Louisiana game Louisiana one for seven last night runners in scoring position quickly the throw comes back in and the bases are loaded back to the top as Stan wilts delivers just gotta love his swing his attitude his smile when he plays shortstop we've talked about Stan Wilkes it's fun to watch so they are loaded now in a big big chance for Ryan darah leadoff hitter struck out his first time up [Applause] on the ground [Applause] how close was it few Bingman on top of it see here he's got it fouled watch the foul call watch the foot come up as he calls this thing foul just to the left side of that bag great technique there you like that I like math music and everything down another one same spot yes there it is good transfer Scott Fraser with a wet Jam [Applause] love that coaching let that ball get a little deeper Oh - he's gone and even bloated look at coal prep for come off the old my off the field pump it his fists as they leave three on [Applause] love the intensity of this game this breaking ball it's nasty here pepper fired lost care moment had happened when the New Jersey team was ousted in high

hop in so they've been coming flying in for games from Virginia on Major League Baseball Classic Sunday they actually took precedence over a rod and J Lo's plane circled on the airport as the coal pit four grandparents were making it landing that's a great story Julie thank you there's a little battle from Culpepper orbital ground out to first than be retired I'm not sure they win the battle of the actual planes if we had to go that way but you and you get your nose in first in Iran and JLo take a back seat to the Culpeper grandparents your new power couple in the United States good story Jules so Noah retired this is Matt Kolb and then we're back to the top it says no and I said wait I was 15 minutes ago what a nice break down the mechanics on that one Rossi what you got oh my god or my shoe shiny wait what did he go win wrecking ball to third Blanchard up with it frosted up a bit low but a good pick by connor hawke two quick outs you want to play Little League and why wouldn't you if you can it's easy to find your local a big visit play little detour game to your address to find a little league program near you fill each looking to twirl twirl it's it's immediate anytime

Little League in Minnesota hopes garden it's a second fired over there impressive play and three more quick outs for Marshall Luke he's getting his offense back up real quick no hits for Virginia bottom three coming up mercury how we doing at the top of that hill a couple of dancers as we welcome you back to ESPN's coverage of this Little League World Series 2019 presented by t-mobile Bobby always gets to everybody and when he she generally talks to the people the kid does something well we're gonna see louisiana bat now as they try to move into that championship game against hawaii and you're talking to the parents of a kid who always does something well Julie that's right I got Corey and brandy here Corey we've been hearing all of this about skittles and Gatorade with Greece what is the story behind that please so when Tom breeze played at Cooperstown all the boys stayed in a dorm so they do all kind of crazy stuff and one of the things Rhys did was put a whole bunch of skittles inside of a Gatorade bottle mixing up a drink and drank the drink and then the next day I think he hit three home runs in one game in Cooperstown so since then it's like oh that's the magic trick what every parent in America wants to hear you should have Gatorade and as your pregame snack brandy I understand it's now contagious with the parents as well I've already mine it's time for yours I'll never say no to skittles or anything really so now you're doing you're doing Mountain Dew thirsty so I got a drink something with it you guys are gonna be a wreck over here it's just one time what time again [Applause] it's working so far we'll stay with it all right and join the game how'd his last name misspelled should it just be foodie the food stir three one dangerous pits and Roussel dusted on can hot goodness on to second base and he will stand there with his second double one to the left-center field gap one to the right-field wall and how about being in his case 11 for 15 if you're gonna throw the ball down you're gonna get punished by Reese roussel he's got a two-strike approach but this kid is unbelievable the same approach every time not getting big that ball was laced wrecking ball Marshall Luke strike one he is he is zeroing in on the all-time record for hits at the Little League World Series records 14 it's happened twice and New Orleans team wins this one they're gonna put at least two more games and the way Reese is going he may break that record like a fifth inning tonight that's the crease and swing beautiful swing 11 hits like his brains off I mean it is autopilot and Luke goes down I mean seriously it's on skittle to get it right get your brain autopilot here's the kicker is it's I mean it is foul pole to foul pole yeah he's hitting the left center he's hit him to right center he's taking pitches six inches off the plate driven it to left field third inning in a row Louisiana's had a base run at a second base on the ground is short going to fair the ball gets booted that Roussel may have caused that by taking off right in front of chaste homes gardening it got that wheel in the head going a little quicker and now first and third I think you nailed it rabbit because it was that little move and usually you're not gonna go on this ball if it's to your right at second base usually you're gonna hold up but I think it's that movement right there that get Stokes garden to look up just enough ball gets away and ultimately a decision that maybe didn't look like the right one ended up changing the whole play a hundred percent but right now everything he does is right right brilliant any difference you know now it started somersault in the third base it worked in someone of a special pinch runner on there at first it's Payton spend Oney and be careful Bruce L on a ball that gets away from the catcher Culpepper even even by a small distance because he's about as quick as kid we've seen at the World Series this year it's a foul ball this is Gavin berry at some point you gotta think huh Louisiana knocked on the door in the first with Roussel at second they had second and third lasted in fact left him loaded and now first in third very slow roller he's coming again to home they'll throw it there that his father's in one nothing Louisiana on the speed and the battery through cell you guys said it he can do nothing wrong but he does everything right right here swinging bunt by Barry and just a great read down there by Rhys was so off to the races we've seen his speed but watch this slide just just getting underneath the tag of our boy Noah Culpepper sliding in there tough play looks like he's gonna be safe I think he's all over that call Brian rounds at home plate nice light pointing the toe making sure that front foot doesn't come up beautiful read at third-base by Reese Roussel he kind of blew through the wall that was the left leg of Culpepper and Roussel a one-man show tonight two for two with two doubles a run scored in Louisiana still in business here in the bottom of the third with two men on [Applause] [Music] we're gonna challenge it and I guess you might as well on that one it's gonna be a short child yeah Justin leave and looked into his dugout said gave the universal sign for safe Biddy yeah yeah but I want to know what the pep said all right the Peppa has said let's go take another look just in case it was close to the balls a little high and perhaps a little lower throw but see them puts on the bag they're in the glove hasn't hit down yet I tell you what I find that play is so difficult to make when you're in field in no matter what just feeling it cleanly a nice break from third base great 40 view there looks like the foots got in there pretty cleanly but to throw a strike and get that tag down from the catching position is really hard now great great look through that 4d camera we have and now you got first and second for another good hitter this is Derek de lat speedo knee hits down to second base Berry at first we talk about this great Louisiana line up the lat his third in this tournament and hits six hits I mean all the way down the sixth hole for this group they've got an extremely deep liner that's put in play Lee's gonna try to get it himself and then put the tag on for the out good play by Justin Lee had no other choice now he's the only guy that can make that play too when you're on the mound and it's at swinging bunt from a left-hander the route has to be almost directly to first base because if you go too deep then your first baseman is not going to be there in time you don't have enough time to get to the base if you feel the but watch the ride two-seam fastball out away and it's almost directly at the bag so when he feels it can reach out make the tag base runners advance 60 feet William Andrade will bat for Ryder Blanchard swings and misses it back pressure now again on Culpepper with speed oniy a base runner at third base in a game in which it feels like runs are going to be pretty hard to come by [Applause] you could look 60 feet away from home play ball that misses away two and one lease pitch count climbs here 20 pitches now per inning he's at sixty with two down that's in there this one is ruled to first Wow called foul that thing came within inches of eating the bag that it's a bag it's three another no never does it shooting off to the right and there's nothing you could do about it Matt Coleman gets over there pretty good but tried to shuffle in it a bag when it's about to hit it makes you makes you just flinched a little bit kind of crosses his feet they're just game of inches isn't it really close my glove weighs a lot when it gets to happen that's the smallest Matt Coleman is two to two outs four count [Applause] [Music] and read the first of the players on the bench to get in and a hitter's role and that one has popped up and on a play but not without a big effort from Culpepper I fall in on him man all in that one hit the roof and he was on a dead sprint to the backstop in case if we're recasting Bad News Bears owner Culp's is in there Culp's is in there hey this could be bad news bears 2.0 there's a new tanner right there we've got a game spike in his catcher's glove God I'm swinging Culpepper will step out and throw down good play and they will strand two but they get one because nobody can stop Reese roussel all due respect to the skittles this is Reese's Pieces and he is dominating this Little League World Series with 11 hits and the only one of the Little League wants to extend a special thank you to their official sponsors my Gatorade and large Lance sandwich crackers they help to maintain the strength and leadership at Little League program it's hard to read this

children and David Ross Wow 38 some other kid you know what's that that's just doing my dirty because of the skittles in Gatorade you decided to go popcorn it keeps our own we're owning Ravi you

looking there Rick Lee I heard it's all the rage in New Orleans [Applause] what do you think Rossi good right yeah thumbs up that's what make me go back to work what they bite what do you think Joey I like it but then again I like everything to have a shocker breaking news sources Pete said popcorn all right so Brady Yates Pat's 1 & 2 oh no one nearly caught the umpire that was firm best prank there goes nearly a good intention Wow Oh stretch the shoulder on another one in there [Applause] rate - yep that one is in there called strike three - one of the better hitters son of Virginia team Yates is retired 4th 5th 6th strikeout for Luke at Sunday night good one dodgers and yankees the series finale our coverage starts 6:00 Eastern Time on ESPN on the ESPN app the Baseball Tonight Sunday night countdown games while they're not in the same league huge games given the best record race the Yankees and the Dodgers and the Astros get home-field advantage in the postseason especially through the World Series right now la santé mode where they're not losing any games the Yankees struggle a little bit with the A's there's Justin Lee in a one nothing game here at the World Series Lee turns a fastball around it could leave in a hurry 1-1 Razia right are we good for the game you're gonna need like a fifth inning delivery again yeah hum perfect yeah have filled up before this one finally good meal he always got to follow these recommendations I mean she's a food connoisseur here and would use force she hadn't missed you we had such a good region I wonder what it's like for him he hits five homers at the regional then obviously a little bit bigger better competition here but he hasn't been able to really get into one he's put the ball in play nothing deep yet and that was a good fastball down that may have gotten breather on the foul he's getting beat up back there tonight tough tough being a catcher every once well you have those nights foul balls bat hits you on the backswing fat you know foul tips blocking there's a smile I got to do back here to get out of the way to - nope wait why - a full three chilly not surprised but anytime you got the pitcher who recognizes the other team's best hitter things change a little bit marshal Luke goes right at everybody else not say you won't hear but seed gets planted with somebody like Lee is on the mound these guys are aware when you get into the regionals they're all scouting everybody they know who the best players are on that other team they're probably watching the game no doubt and they were all on TV pretty good foul yeah good at-bat here inside the fastball inside the breaking ball talking about let it get deep that's exactly what you're talking about give yourself a chance to recognize a strike 9 pitch walk when you come up to the leading hitter on this bridging of team Colt Nick's came in five four nine they had more hits than anybody else on the club he also is got a half-dozen RBI they'd love to get Lee in scoring position if they could the outfield has great arms buried era and Roussel in right field all of them can throw the ball then a slow roller up the middle wilts will go to first astray Connor parent try to scoop it and that's going to be an error and tour aboard KP you're on top of this great decision slow roller you're not going to get the guys second great job but just one off the back foot has the ball died right before it gets to Connor parrot tough ball to pick at first base you see here back foot throw and it just dies that little bit of short in-between hop just can't come up with it at first base time for Liam lion now to deliver and out there at second base Lee's got to be careful both wiltz and a lot sneaking him behind him as a runner as he'll take his lead once the ball crosses home and I'll throw down and he got back he get prey there's got a cannon back behind the plate we've seen him pitch there's a strike down there to second base [Applause] [Music] forgive me body language body language fix it one pitch at a time then we put your matters is this one right fix your body language part of baseball all right we're up by a run brah that's hey hey I don't want to hear it I don't want to hear it roll the DoublePlay okay let's go moving forward love it all right with a hand absolutely it's a good time to go out to I was just about to say that great time to Oh minute person second refocus pour one in for a strike and you always defer ease guys know these players had been with him for a long time it's a lot of years he started with these guys six years ago no it's not a communicate look what's happened since that meeting too fast strikes I think the meeting work we call that a good visit to the benefits short sweet three straight fastballs right by Luke's got seven strikeouts here somewhere that's come off the bench and has done really well chase triplet for these Virginia non-starting players all who contribute twenty plate appearances and they've been on base 11 times the trick they're stuck the landing as he pulled it out of a pump pyres here these guys are throw hard that high fastball toughest one to get to it's things start to climb bluff has a long way to go hey Virginia bullpen door opens up and the bullpen catcher and chase folks Gartley may come into this game - back into that dugout here's Triplett [Applause] Jay's got a brother on this team and there he is right there they pick each other up after an at-bat this foot off the arm of Luke and will 10dc flip to second for the out that'll be a one six four and the score book and it stays one zip go near the leader of this team they can't see that body all right what are we talking about one pitch at a time right you don't throw up on the past moving forward let's go Virginia in Louisiana they beat them both Hawaii is waiting for the winner of this one as we take a look at our Honda game summary B and Luke and they've been both really solid four hits though allowed by lead he has struck out five one walk one walk for Luke seven strikeouts but there's a big blazed donut underneath that h no there's no glazed doughnuts coming up tagged C release inhale excess in halex that was white ten hours ago brown shorts that's the mod we had a big rainstorm which greased the old a hill up there and you really don't need the cardboard you because you've seen you can open to keep the cardboard I'm not sure the cardboard works relative to the old skin so that's probably mom and dad said no you got to have a cardboard that'll be that'll be like yeah no we don't that's gonna end I love this guy sister knew how to stay out of trouble Yankee dirt dog right there way to go bud [Applause] Alton Schwartz bats were in the bottom of the fourth inning Louisiana has eight nine and then back to the dangerous top of the order strike two from Justin Lee it feels like you can ask us in the fourth thing do you guys think that they're gonna be able to get to Luke at all doesn't look like it right now I think the question is how far can it go 61 pitches right now 85 is the max I think we saw a little bit of the coach coming in and just coach him up a little bit stay positive don't let that body language creep down when he's positive and throwing strikes eats unhittable [Applause] doesn't appear if there is a bottom of the sixth inning that Lee's gonna be able to finish the game he is zeroing in on his 69th and 70th pitch with nobody out here that's a little high [Applause] hopes garden maybe the next in he's the shortstop out there my stop stink back to to the run that Louisiana scored you know Roussel on second on the ground ball to the shortstop he takes off for third if hopes garden makes that play we may not have a one nothing game it could still easily be 0 0 that one is the piece to the left fielder often shorts off the bench delivers a hit and that means barring a double play Roussel will get back up this inning [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jeffrey Curtiss off the bench now for Louisiana in the nine spot here it's it fair ball in the left field and this is why the Louisiana such a good team and all these teams in Williamsport your players off the bench have to contribute and we've just seen two of them deliver two hits they're extremely deep team and they rely on the whole lineup you talk to the coach to say we have confidence up and down the lineup in this group all players contribute we'll have any home runs in this world series but everybody puts the ball in play gives you a good at-bats you see it there with Jeffrey Curtis coming off the bench with or not he delivers he hits in the spot Stan wilts woodhouse he goes back five seed did his job and now wilts comes in to run for him and we're back to the top with Ryan Dara you know who's lurking in the on deck area two for two two double guy 11 hits in the Little League World Series Reese Bruce L what where we going with it no one's that third they tore the first says the first base umpire Kelly dine Louisiana is right away Frazier's Lackey up and so is Dara let's go to the headsets [Applause] though Scott Frazier fired up let's see here he's safe front of the bag KP we've talked about it several times getting down the line touching the front of the bag that is the difference they're safe by a good bit at first base beautiful bunt that was the difference the other part of that play force Yates off the third-base at least he came off and went Lee look to third that was enough time for Dara to get to first to load him up you could not have asked for a better situation if you're Louisiana and if he's out at first they're putting him on get worst right I mean that this is probably the only way that he's gonna hit right now how do you feel I know you can do this 303 down right now we're not giving up around corners in okay you're diving for everything nothing gets by you we're clear okay nothing gets by you to turn to in the middle unless you can fight if it's a seed fire it forward you're a first baseman thank hey we got this let's go yes Justin Lee do that how do you feel I can do this oh no doubt immediately look right back I can do this yeah you heard the coaches I know you can do it boy you don't know how it's gonna work out but just that immediate right I'm good let's go and there are people at home Sam would you think about walking this guy one-nothing as hot as he's been you don't do that know when you got a pitcher who says I'm gonna do this hitting's hard I don't care what level you're at that look real hard right now for rescrew cell but Justin Lee's gonna see if he can't get him [Applause] [Applause] goodness [Music] maybe the people at home alright fine go fish it's not that easy [Applause] you challenged him [Applause] our second Grand Slam of today what a swing by resuce l this kid is in a tree Scott Fischer has as fired up as any of the kids that ball was tattooed over the left field wall that ball was late what a beautiful stroke and you got to kind of get his numbers up there so people at home can see him he's got 12 hits now he's too shy of the Little League World Series record that that's that's gone I mean he's gonna have if they win another game to do it and then maybe one more 15 years Julia I've not seen anything like it yeah and you know what is even crazier brandy what did you say to me before the game 22 it's 8:20 to my number 22 is gonna get a home run today but I'll take it say that again you wanted one wanted that all I think that was pretty good dad I'm just saying I don't yeah they called it before the game said he was getting in the lucky lady bug that ball is hammered to left off the bat of Luke it's going to get down and all of a sudden Justin Lee is getting tattooed here a home run and a double back to back [Music] look at that a ladybug whatever man skittles camera and keep deal with it didn't matter what he does right now no they get me at me yeah still nobody out in the bottom of the fourth and Louisiana is putting the gas pedal down note la MIDI today to Grand Slams [Music] fan of this kid on the mound then I mean it's you give up a grants and the whole place goes crazy and he just he just keeps working and he kept throwing strikes and he's been such a big reason why his team's here right now well I mean he's run into a buzzsaw andrew self double-double Grand Slam [Music] you could really feel the momentum that this Louisiana teams had since losing their opener their bats have really been alive and they just have a ton of confidence of the team yeah to this credit Frasier said right away after that Hawaii loss like we're gonna play for a championship we're gonna get another chance while ye when it gets to where sports like playing a home game they've been so great I think in spite of that outcome of the Grand Slam I don't think you're in a position to walk a little league hit or no matter now hottie is in a one nothing game in a game you got a win you're gonna give them another run with no Lucas pitching in nobody yeah that's there's no level you're doing that [Applause] look at that one got away it might be time to go get Justin Lee I think the gas is out of the tank yeah pitch count stamp what they gotta go get him but get that regular globe can't take away one thing he was a part of two no-hitters here in Williamsport he did want himself and was part of a three-picture no-hitter in Virginia's first game to get the tip that the kids has made outstanding swing sometimes you're just gonna say you know what your boots on that pitch okay I love the way you came back with this that these two batters okay all right okay please play first base and they're not even close to being in this position without the contributions of Justin Lee tip your cap anything you have tip to this guy Reese true self is absolutely on fire [Music] give us a bell for D look at this swing which resulted in four runs is that letting it travel a little bit that is nice that is nice I mean that's a that's better the last Center there it goes called it [Applause] this is my favorite coach Fraser wanted to take a congratulations laugh [Music] Beauty baby welcome back everyone new pitcher on the mound for Virginia that's chase Pope's garden Brady Yates slides over he's at Short Matt Coleman and firstly is moved to third base at Oaks Gardens for his pitch is down the line in right field that's trouble that's going to get down the runners are coming in Luke's gonna score and second and third now as it's a ground rule double slipped underneath that gate that takes you to the bullpen all of a sudden Louisiana everybody's hitting it and hitting it farm having very double that's not wasting time either these hopes Gardens just into the ballgame Gavin berry up for the third time today walked his first time reached base now all three times that would just slips under the gate base runners didn't look like we're gonna go any further anyway but Barry drives in one right there five runs in the inning right now for the kids from New Orleans to Lunt try to liver went down in the scented foul chick-fil-a is gonna introduce us to Derek DeLaet dad is a big in Little League in that River Ridge Louisiana area little D yeah he did fill the commercial with Drew Brees at age four and he portrayed Brees his son so they still kind of stay in touch and little D claims that that Brees would know him if he saw him like yeah where that wears that tight that was his kid he's gotta know me dad don't you how do you forget your kid dad don't you remember I don't think drew brees is the kind of guy that would forget many things like that note I know this about Brees he's all in on this New Orleans team back up the middle that's fielded Oaks garden perfect did it perfectly you can find Little League on Facebook Twitter and Instagram at the official handles at Little League follow the action and joined the conversation with hashtag ll WS Ryder Plantard the knife Louisiana batter of the inning only one down pitcher hopes garden misses 15 of their 22 at-bats tonight this is kind of a theme with Louisiana they come up with runners in scoring position all the time all but seven of their at-bats tonight have come with a runner in scoring position off-speed driven man that wolf berry will put the brakes on and lo and behold they got seven we talked about hating being contagious these guys are jumping all over any strike that's thrown in the zone guys in scoring position all fields this team can flat-out rake start to think about a rematch with hey you're doing fine Hawaii you're doing fine listen I'm gonna trust you on your athleticism on this next play okay ball is coming back as soon as you catch it don't even look at the runner get it back to him as quickly as you can you're gonna turn and run him okay your turn run at him if you guys yell for and you can get him at four make sure you make a good throw but otherwise we're going after that runner okay go straight at it you hear me straight at it just throw them back to him now it's faster your 10 don't overthrow it [Applause] it's not only don't overthrow it and don't overthink no gated way that's right yell at me coach you're under a lot of pressure oh that's great no chance to execute the play on the ground ball out at its second that's all they'll get as Barry comes in and they got eight we never got a chance to execute the throw it back to hopes garden and let them let him run hard at the base runner [Applause] [Music] this whole thing started with Alton shorts and looks at strike one [Applause] this is Jeffrey Curtis he also delivered a hit [Applause] Jeffrey you're celebrating after that oh yeah second knock he gets another shot this inning that's a good pitch and now on that colpepper drop down to second and in the second go shorts call that a pass ball we got eight if they were to get two more this game would end in the fourth inning but there are two down [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] there you go that's a strikeout battle ended but there was a ton of damage done in this one ladybug love that's what it's about ladybug love grand slam and a Louisiana and the French Quarter parted right now front page news in New Orleans and they're making more of it tonight he's picked that place clean from a message before they come to the plate was so rough fitting [Applause] we can sulk about it or we can go get some runs what do you guys want to do let's go hit boys let's go we got this hey we got this let's go for five runs right a lot of times in Little League you know seven runs is hardly insurmountable the problem is the other part of that scoreboard has not only no runs it's got no hits Marshall Luke has been as special on the mound as rescrew cell has been at the plate that's pretty good combo and you get that guy in the bunk and the other dude hit yeah that's that's gonna win you some ballgames get seven hits in an inning - that usually helps yep this is Bret triplet that wasn't poured in on a corner that's another strike up Lucas Guddi [Applause] yeah you talked to some former players in mind they said Rossi I've never lost with 12 so you know give me a big pickup give me 12 never ball to 12 buddy John Lackey used to say that after a big inning score eight he was like hey Rossi never lost the twelve let's get a couple more keep on going yeah marshal Luke is in command though it doesn't look like he's gonna need all eight of those runs tonight he has been dominant [Music] [Applause] yeah but he won't be eligible again now the rest of this Little League World Series so we'll see about the pitching depth of Louisiana they'll get Hawaii assuming they win this game on Saturday they win that they play for the overall World Series championship no pitch there as time was called and he can pray this out until Sunday correct yep there's Egan fastball just misses the good news for the viewer at home and everyone else that's into this Roussel thing that's going on he is going to bat second in the fifth inning so he's going to come up again he's three for three with two doubles in a homer [Applause] he's got 12 hits at the Little League World Series with the all-time mark of 14 in his sights DeLaet feels that cleanly and fires over for the second out still no hits for Virginia [Music] [Applause] this is Ken Henson [Music] and all of the extra players for Virginia tonight have gotten into the game Wow is it similar to what you've been around at the next level one guys just get hot and like it doesn't matter what they do like the ball is getting hit hard I saw David Ortiz in 2013 in the World Series gets six gazillion goodness but get this guy out they get hot it's a beach ball up there get a chance to see him bat again see if the ball is a beach ball or something else Wow what were you doing then around 1990 or des the instruments I made the covering it for W HTM Harrisburg Pennsylvania that that preceded the SPN which occurred the next year I think that was an algebra 1 then 9th grade so this is Payton spud Dhoni he'll bat for Ryan Dara that will check off all the players that didn't start tonight for the Southwest and then roussel and then we're gonna ask everybody what we think Roussel is going to do with the plate this time all that did miss by much to speed oneís been in the game as a special pinch runner earlier two and two so you gotta remember to Louisiana has been rollin like all the teams to get here but they were rolling early in the summer they entered their regional having outscored their opponents 79 to nothing and the Lafayette Sand Lake Charles of the world this year appeared to recognize that this team was the best in New Orleans [Applause] they come out at regional where Texas has just dominated first time Texas haven't been here in a long time this Louisiana team handed it to them in a regional here we go so if Roussel hits a homer here the game would end and if he hits a homer you're done I'm not doing the rest of the game my subs that's it I'm gonna walk off you will you will finish his dad at Mont predict Homer I'm calling Homer what do you go with I think he gets out I think he's gonna bomb one down the third base line right now doesn't watch he's 12 for 16 if Glynn League World Series he's got four doubles the Homer so we're clipping in at 750 he's only gotten out four times yeah for us but he cannot miss the ball three doubles run coming in is the ninth three doubles four shots I don't think the brains on as far as just this hippie thing I just don't don't turn it on yes it is just keep doing that I mean nothing was smoked I mean you're talking about just an approach and we're just seeing him ball out to ball that downward pitch is just right into his stroke and it's just smooth and it's a line drive stroke even the Grand Slam line drive to left center field the kid knows how to hit he's balanced and yeah if you're thinking about anything continue to think about it go grab take a break go grab the lucky lady Pato we're gonna give her a rub ya gotta flirt with the ladybug just a second bring it up here I don't know no this pompano is fine down there all right Michael Maddy you're in you guys stay help this kid we're gonna have a little change here we got Luke coming up with a chance to win the whole thing right after this [Applause] back in LA MIDI on a Thursday night coverage of this Little League World Series presented by t-mobile and won a show for East Bank literally got a New Orleans leading 9 zip if that guy their race through cell scores this game will end right here no pitching change marshall luke big swing and a miss the 10 runs in the fourth fifth or sixth inning advantage will end the game for the home team Luke's got a double he also has not given up a hit tonight behind Owen - there's nobody out on the ground that is fielded now rusev into it did they tagged him that column still safe not out of the baseline and he's in at one down see somehow gonna get out of this now they've got two waters at second oh no oh no let's hope that Marshall Luke is okay that leg bent in a weird direction mmm let's hope that right knee is okay [Applause] that scared him a little bit scared me up here having all sorts of knee issues and seeing somebody's knee go like that when Roussel fell into it he did the right thing though get to second base so we get a runner there but right there he banks into that knee and it slips on the face just the plastic spikes on that little wet bag just resell slipped off there right into Marshall Luke's knee so roussel he is out one down and Connor Perry is up [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Ochs garden doing a good job here finding that strike zone and making us a challenge for Louisiana to try to plate that last run that ones in the white field Luke is that he has got to go his coach was telling him to stop he wasn't going to stop he's looking into that Virginia dugout sort of apologetically I think the best thing to do there is score the run yeah if it feels worse sometimes in team don't do that [Applause] Louisiana will play Hawaii in the United States Championship game on Saturday mast Luke touches home with a tenth run throws a no-hitter then race through cell slugging 1,200 in this Little League World Series three doubles and a Grand Slam look at how good Virginia's being here Culpepper telling everybody what a good game was these teams know each other well got a chance to spend a ton of time together over the last week and a half so the file florist said kurasawa Georgia Pro far takes on Japan Saturday at 12:30 Louisiana with three through seven and a Hawaii chief that doesn't lose at 3:30 Eastern Time good final four voice we got a really good final for some great hitting great pitching playing baseball I am excited New Orleans loses the opener said right at that point we're gonna come back playing the u.s. championship game that's where they're at fine next MLS Kansas City Minnesota championship starts Saturday at 12:30 for our entire crew crawl rabbits good night from Williamsport [Music] you
