20 CRAZIEST Moments in Little League World Series History!

From a player who showboated so hard it cost his team the game, to a kid who put sportsmanship over everything else. One player was even down to his last strike and saved his team from elimination. We're going to cover all of that and so much more. Starting with a catch that's so impossible it doesn't even look real. Man, front flipping over the fence to make the catch is actually crazy. But what about hitting with only one hand? Because after this kid got drilled in the elbow in his first at bat, he decided to toughen it out and try and stay in the game. However, in his next at bat, that seemed to be a bit of a mistake. He couldn't grip the bat at all with his right hand and was even like, coach I can't do this, but he stayed in there anyways. And after choking up on the bat and taking a few pitches, he laid down this perfect bunt with only one hand, but sadly the pitcher made a great play and was just able to get him out at first. Overall though, talk about a tough kid. And something else that was tough was when this team somehow found a way to get five outs in a single inning. You see, Pennsylvania had guys on first and second with one out when this kid popped up to left field for the second out of the inning. The runner from second then tried to tag up and score, but he got tagged out at home for the third out. So the inning actually ended right there, but it seemed like everyone was a little confused. Because both the batter and the kid who was on first base got into a rundown in the same base path, not knowing that the inning was already over. The second baseman tagged both of them, everyone was out, and technically Massachusetts got five outs in one inning. But something even crazier than that is when this kid had the game of his life, but ended up throwing the game for his team in the last inning. You see, Louisiana and Oklahoma were tied in the first inning when Jace Kent stepped up to the plate. He started off the game by hitting a bomb to right field over the bleachers, he backflipped the hell out of it, slow jogged around the bases, and hit a nasty euro step at third base. He even did this crazy celebration with his teammates, even though this kid kinda sold. But anyways, it got even worse for Louisiana when in his next step bat he hit a bases clearing triple and started meditating while sitting on third base. I don't think it could be going any better for this kid, but sadly his fun ended there. Because after everything, he came in the bottom of the sixth inning with a four run lead. He ended up walking the bases loaded, hit the next batter, and then let up this two RBI double to center field. He then walked in the tying run and got the winning run to a 3-0 count. He then finally got pulled from the game, but the damage was already done and they ended up losing. I guess all that showboating came back to bite him. But the reaction of this next kid is completely gold, because in the top of the third inning, Pennsylvania was already up 14-0 and had the bases loaded. And when their best player stepped up to the plate, you know exactly what happened. I mean, that ball was an absolute bomb. And when your team is already down by that much in the third inning, it's probably best to just laugh it off. There's just something special about being a good sport, especially in baseball. Because in a game against Texas East, this kid got drilled in the head by this pitch. And even though he was obviously in pain, he was able to toughen it out and stay in the game. However, once he got to first base, he realized that he needed to go do something. Honestly, that was just such a nice thing to do. Whoever raised that kid, the whole world is giving you props. But honestly, you gotta give this next kid props as well. Because on the first pitch of his at bat, he crouched down super low to try and fool the pitcher, but it didn't really seem to work. So, on the very next pitch, he decided to lay this perfect bunt right down the line and get an easy bag for his team. I mean, that's just the type of stuff that makes Little League exciting to watch. Now, speaking of confusing plays, this next one might be the most chaotic thing in this entire video. You see, in the top of the sixth inning, Connecticut was already up 3-1 and had the bases loaded. And after this kid crushed his ball to right field, it hit off the bottom of the wall, scoring two runs and putting runners on first and third. The outfielder was able to get the ball in, however, the play never ended there. The kid on first base kept creeping out into the base path, which allowed the runner on third to do the exact same thing. This completely confused the South Dakota defense because they had no idea what to do with the ball. It seemed like whatever option they would choose, the other runner would just capitalize from that. And by the time that any of them figured out what was happening, the runner had already made it to second base. Now, you would think that this was only a one and done thing, but Connecticut just couldn't stop hitting. They hit three singles back to back to back and did the same base running trick again and again and again. The South Dakota defense just didn't know what to do in that situation, and they ended up paying the price for it. The inning finally came to a close after the shortstop made this great play, but Connecticut made it 13-1, so they ended up winning the game shortly after. However, what if I told you that the only reason that Connecticut was in that position in the first place was because of this game that happened earlier in the tournament? And it's probably one of the dumbest walk-off wins in Little League history. You see, Connecticut and New Jersey were tied 1-1 going into extra innings. However, with two outs in the seventh, this kid had a chopper that went all the way into the right center gap, scoring the runner from second and putting his team up 2-1. New Jersey ended up striking out the next kid, however, the pressure was now on. Luckily, they get a free runner at second base since they're in extra innings because this normal ground ball to first now puts a tying run at third with one out. The next kid ended up striking out, but the following kid ended up taking a walk on the 3-1 pitch, which now sets up this entire video. Because on the first pitch of this at-bat, the runner on first tries to delay steal and get into a rundown so the runner on third could come in and score. And he actually did this to perfection because he dove under the tag and was called safe, and the other kid had plenty of time to score. However, this is also where it all falls apart, because for some reason, kids are not allowed to So as soon as he did this, he is technically out, the game is now over, and the other team wins. Little League implemented this rule just a few years ago in order to try and prevent as many sliding injuries as they could, but the fact that it made this team lose their game is crazy. However, I don't want you to feel too bad for New Jersey, because these two teams actually ended up meeting again the very next year, and what New Jersey does to get retaliation is crazy. But before we cover that, we gotta take a look at a kid who everyone was calling Lin Chin Sa is probably one of the best 12-year-old baseball players that I've ever seen, because at just 5'8", 134 pounds, he led off the game with this leadoff nuke to left center field, and then got right on the mound and started throwing gas. Because in Little League, the mound is only 46 feet away from home plate compared to 60 feet 6 inches in the big league. So when the pitcher is throwing 82 miles an hour at this distance, it's equivalent to 107 in the MLB. So for the first few innings, not a single kid could touch any of his pitches. But that all changed when number 14 came up to the plate. Because after fouling one off and getting gassed up by this pitch, he decided to lock in and start his battle. He somehow fouled off the 1-2 pitch that was thrown as fast as 107 in the MLB. He then took the following two pitches, and then again fouled off this fastball that was 105 in the MLB. And finally on the 8th pitch of the at-bat, he crushed this fastball the other way, but the shortstop made an incredible play on it and was just able to gun him out at first base. At first, I really thought he beat this one out, but after they reviewed it, it showed that he was out by just a few inches. But now, we gotta look at one of the most clutch hits in Little League World Series history. Because this pitcher was throwing a no-hitter through 7 innings, but this kid from Pennsylvania crushed the 0-2 pitch to right center field for a walk-off home run. He broke up the no-hitter, won the game for his team, and this actually sent him to Williamsport for the Little League World Series Championship. I mean, it doesn't get much better than that. However, we can't forget about the time that a team got caught cheating and it actually saved their team the game. You see, Oklahoma was down 4-1 in the top of the 4th inning, but they had runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. And when this kid got to a 1-2 count, something strange happened. The umpires all called time and got together because they thought they saw the runner at 2nd trying to relay signs to the batter, which is illegal in Little League. So he just put his arms behind his back and tried to act innocent and the game continued. However, in the top of the 5th inning, Oklahoma was able to load up the bases after 3 straight walks, which actually brings their number 4 hitter to the plate. And after he got to a 2-0 count, the same thing happened again. However, this time the kid actually got caught giving a fastball signal to the batter, so he technically should have been ejected from the game. But after a lengthy conversation, the umpires decided to give them one final warning since they are just kids, and that ended up saving them. Because on the 3-1 pitch, this kid crushed his fastball to left field for the go-ahead Grand Slam. His team started going crazy and celebrated with him at home plate, and the other team's manager was pissed that this happened at all. And honestly, you really can't blame him. Now, remember that Connecticut-New Jersey rematch that I mentioned earlier? Well, it's actually a lot crazier than you probably think. You see, Connecticut started off the game hot by scoring 4 runs in the 1st inning. However, New Jersey had something up their sleeve, and it was a kid named Mason Rancone. He was apparently so good in the opening rounds that Connecticut straight up refused to pitch to him the entire game. Every time a man came up to the plate, they just intentionally walked him and hoped for the best. However, it seemed to backfire on them pretty bad because the kid hitting right behind him, Owen Feliz, made sure they paid for it every single time. The first walk led to Feliz crushing this ball into the gap, scoring both runs. The second time they walked him, Feliz fought off a full count and slapped another base hit to bring in one more. And when Connecticut walked him a third time to load the bases, Feliz crushed another one at deep left field, this one had the chance to leave, but just stayed inside the ballpark for her 2 run double that tied the game. Let's go! Let's go! They're all screaming, everyone's excited, however, that's still not even the craziest part about it. Because after everything, New Jersey decided to bring in Rancone to pitch. The exact same kid Connecticut refused to let hit, went out there and shut them down completely, not allowing a single hit for the rest of the game. New Jersey ended up storming all the way back to win it 8-6 and finally got their revenge from that completely bogus loss from the year prior. However, I don't think anything can top this last moment because this player was down to his last strike but saved his team from being eliminated. You see, just moments before, California was down 15-5 going into the bottom of the 6th and had to get a rally going to stay alive. This kid started it by hitting this little chopper to third that scored a run, which was followed by this little blooper to center that scored one more. This kid then crushed this 1-0 pitch into the left center gap, clearing the bases, making the score now 15-10. This next kid then slapped a base hit into left field and with two outs, this big kid ripped a double down the line, making the score now 15-12. And after getting to an 0-2 count, this kid crushed this ball the other way for a home run, making the score now 15-14, bringing the tying run up to the plate. And again, after getting to an 0-2 count, this kid hit a bomb to straightaway center field, tying the game for his team and forcing extra innings. And if that's not one of the craziest comebacks you've ever seen, then I don't know what is. And if you thought that was crazy, you gotta check out this recommended video right here.
