Very Fun Game

[semper_fi_72]

I was on the plate tonight for a LL Major game tonight that goes down as the most fun game I have worked in some time.

Game went 7 innings in 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Starting pitchers both went 6 innings.

The last pitch for the last out of the 6th inning, for both pitchers was their 85th pitch.

Visiting team comes up in 7th and hits a solo HR of about 220 feet to Right Center.

Home team comes up, gets tie run to 3rd with 2 outs.

Batter hits a deep fly to Left Field.

Left Fielder parks under the ball and everyone holds their breath.

Ball lands in the glove and it is a CATCH!!!! Game!!!!!!

The parents on both teams erupted and were giving the kids of both teams a standing ovation.

It was truly one of the best Little League Major games I have not only witnessed but can say I was honored to have been behind the plate for it.

It was a rare pleasure.

My hats off to the Wildwood Little League Major Mets and Dodgers. :wow:

Although I do mainly big field games now, I do enjoy LL majors games when given the oppurtunity. If the right two teams get together it's great. Fast paced and exciting and I've always enjoyed that division.It beats the heck out of the junior division which usually results in a long boring game between kids who have not grown into the size of the field yet.

Awesome! We need more youth games like that.

Sweet!!! I'm only HOPING that I get a few games like that when our LL season gets underway in a couple weeks!

I know. Can't come soon enough. I had some good games last year, so hopefully it continues this year.
