Anyone see the the championship game?? Way to go USA! Great team from Louisiana!!! That Reese (can't remember his last name sorry). kid went like 18 for 23 at the plate during the series. WOW!

I missed it dangit

I watched it.those kids are very good

Did you see the last out? I thought that kid would never get out.

Great game, I watch two of them. Fun to watch.

Yeah That was a "quality" at bat. Wasn't it like 12 pitches??

Nice Game but missed the very last out. Was trying to keep from burning dinner.

Missed the last game. I had watched several games. I was also watching the American Legion series but was not able to see the last games of that either. Lot of good athletes in those games for sure.
Baseball seems to be picking up with more of our youth and worldwide as well.

Just made it back home from a weekend in Williamsport. It’s always a great time. These kids can hit the ball very well, but the defensive plays that they pull off are impressive.

I watched most of the games during the entire series. It is rare for a team to lose the first game in a double elimination tournament and come back through the loser bracket and win it. Glad to see the USA win, I think that makes 3 out of the last 4 for the USA.

Another impressive thing I noticed during the games I watched was the absence of passed balls. After watching our local Little League, those catchers in the final few games were terrific.
The fielding altogether was great.

What I noticed the most was without the 13 year old kids there were a lot less home runs.

It is not the absence of 13 year olds but IMO the new USA bat standard. The USA bats don't have the "pop" the older USSSA or BBCOR bats did.

The way those kids played and stayed calm under the pressure they had to be feeling and the spotlight of being on TV was pretty amazing. Most of the coaches were pretty cool customers too.

Yep, it's absolutely the bats making the difference. Which of course was one of the intentions with the rules change. More balls in play and to lessen the ball speed leaving the bat.
The bat change went into affect at the same time as the age cutoff change if I recall.
