Exciting LL Majors Game

[semper_fi_72]

Worked a Majors game last night.

They are in Season ending league tournament which determines who else gets to TOC and seeding.

One team, Angels, is undefeated this season.

I had already called a 4 inning, Mercy Rule, No Hitter with them this year.

 

Good plays and hitting during the game and no issues.

Fast Forward to Bottom of 6th.

Angels, undefeated team, is HT and down 7-4.

They crank off some hits, tie the score and end the Bottom of the sixth with the winning run stranded at 3B.

 

Here we go, Extra Innings!!!!!!

 

Top of 7th.

2 outs made, HBP, Walk, Hit, VT up by 1 and then 3rd out made.

 

Bot of 7th, score 8 - 7.

1 pitch 1 out.

Then a Blooper just behind SS and in front of LF.

Then a Blooper just over 1B head.  R1 and R2

Wild Pitch, R1 and R2 move up and are now R3 and R2.

Big hitter for HT comes up to bat and they walk him intentionally to load the bases and have a force play every where.

Next batter hits the ball to the right of the SS.  He makes a good play but throws to 1B and gets the out on a banger.

Tied Score, 2 outs, R2 and R3.

Next batter hasn't really hit the ball during his previous ABs.  He can hit though.  He is also the kid who threw the No Hitter when I called the game.  He is also the current F1.

Takes his position in the box for his AB.

We get to what I think was a 2-1 count.

Next pitch is right down the middle of the plate.

He swings and hits a laser to straight away Center Field that sails over the fence for a Walk Off 3 run HR.

 

It was a hard played and exciting game.

 

That kid will probably remember that Walk Off Home Run for the rest of his life.

 

It was fun, exciting game to work.
