Great game Nolensville ! Congrats from down the road in Brentwood. We are so proud of you all. Incredible hitting from everyone and especially the Porter grand slam. Great broadcasting also in the booth from Karl, Kyle and Jessica.Tim, ah, ah, well, ah,
You better hope no one from the Tennessee team watches these highlights bc you might just be the reason they shock the world. Keyboard warrior never played elite sports ever lol
I’m thinking the same thing. If I was the other team, I’d walk the 2 power hitters every time. Make sure the boys pounce once they are forced to change pitchers. This could make the game close to not have to resign. That would be my goal as the opposing manager. Maybe bunt every player since they might get no hit anyway, Except the top 2 batters and hope to get walked otherwise. Make them work for it. Create errors wherever possible.
I have never watched a little game played this well by both teams. Hits were hits and the defensive plays were at another level and i have played at every level.
@@Mikeb-sd8hm I'm leaning toward expecting that to happen anyway, but Tennessee was *way* down their pitching depth chart when they played HI last time. They started with Nash Carter and then switched to William Satinoff IIRC, which means that not only were they not using their best pitchers, but they never had the SS/2B duo (the one that we saw making the double plays tonight) in their main positions at the same time. IMO this Tennessee coach really showed that he knew his players with how he rotated the positions--especially the pitcher--over the last three games. Put Trent in against Indiana, have Jack close that one out with Trent at 1st, use depth during the first Hawaii game (since you have to use it sooner or later), put Drew in for the entire Texas game to rest literally everyone else, and I'm guessing go to T-Rex again for the final against Hawaii, _perhaps_ with someone like Jack closing that one out if necessary. Only problem with this is that in the unlikely event that the pitching change is enough for them to BEAT Hawaii this time, you've got a serious pitching depth issue for the world final the next day and probably end up either having Jack pitch the whole thing (with the downside that their 2nd string catcher is sometimes too high with his throws to 2nd base from what little we saw in the Indiana game), or go back to Nash and/or Sati with the obvious downside of losing the double-play potential at 2nd and SS. But what do I know? This coach still knows his players better than any of us, so it will be interesting to see what happens. All I know is, I'm predicting that Trent McNiel pitches once again in the final against Hawaii.
@@philipmcniel4908 You dont need to worry because Tennessee wont beat Hawaii. Hawaii is to hot in this tournament and Tennessee felt that a day ago. Hawaii is already in these kids minds by what Hawaii did to them in just four innings.
@@Kaizen29x 1) I don't see Tennessee beating Hawaii, based on what we saw yesterday. 2) I don't see Tennessee losing quite that badly to Hawaii again, since they're going to have one of their top pitchers pitching this time rather than having their shortstop and 2nd baseman split that job.
Regardless of how old you are, if you ever get to feeling sorry for yourself, just remember a 12 year old kid with one working eye hit a grand slam at the LLWS. He overcame many obstacles. So can you. Incredible.
Years from now, *maybe* the Hawaii team will remember their score in the US championship game, but nobody else will. What everyone WILL remember is the experience of playing there, and these teams who made to Williamsport have had an experience that very, very few players ever get. Just enjoy the ride.
Pretty impressive for the Tenn kids to bounce back a day later and play so well after getting thumped yesterday. Pearland was rolling coming in. That first run against them could have turned into a lot more, but they stuck with it and got good defense from everyone.
What an incredibly well played defensive game from both teams. They put on a clinic out there tonight. Tennessee running a 1st and 3rd play with a fake fall down? Impressive,I can’t be sure he meant to but I believe it was a called play.
I can't wait to see what happens when Tennessee uses the pitcher(s) near the top of their depth chart in this next game, thus placing Sati and Carter in their main positions at SS and 2nd base. I'm guessing Hawaii can still win on homers alone, but I want to see a good game! (Oh yeah...and while I know it's impossible to predict how players will develop at this age, I'm actually rooting for one or more players from this Tennessee team to get to the majors one day. Maybe Sati? Or possibly--dare I hope for this one as his cousin--Trent McNiel if he keeps developing as a pitcher? I'd definitely follow MLB a lot more closely if that happened! I definitely want Sati to get to play pro ball one day though.)
@@philipmcniel4908 for sure hoping for a good, competitive game. I wanna see our local Hawaii boys get tested a bit. And I agree with you on hoping these kids can make it to the majors...they are putting in the work already!
what a game everyone thought TX would take TN. Not today TX TN said no no no. Way to hit and defend TN. Wishing you the best against HI it will be a tuff game but as today you can.
In reference to the 4th inning commentary - Tie goes to the runner is a popular interpretation of baseball rules. The claim is that a forced runner, usually the batter-runner, who arrives on base the same time as the ball is safe. However, umpires generally reject the concept that baseball provides for a tie in this way, and instead rule on the basis that either the player or the ball has reached the base first. The wording of rule 5.09(a)(10), formerly 6.05(j), of the Official Baseball Rules is that a batter is out when "After a third strike or after he hits a fair ball, he or first base is tagged before he touches first base". Therefore, if the runner or first base is not tagged before he touches first base, he is safe. In response to a question from a Little League umpire, Major League Baseball umpire Tim McClelland has written that the concept of a tie at a base does not exist, and that a runner either beats the ball or does not.
The state of Tennessee has always had excellent high school baseball. On the northeast end in the tri cities back in 1980's and 1990's we had 3 high schools that had good baseball programs in kingsport Dobyns Bennett,sullivan north and sullivan south. Also johnson city science hill,sullivan east and Tennessee high would field good teams. Sullivan north won a couple of AAA state championships back in 1980's when they had expected braves pitcher darren nottingham throwing heat in the low to mid 90's. That was fast pitching back in the early to mid 1980's. Now that sullivan county,tn has combined the old sullivan north and sullivan south high schools into one called west ridge i expect them to be a dominant force in 6A baseball. Then in te knoxville area oak ridge and knox Farragut high schools have had really good programs. Plua couoke more private school field good teams in can and knox catholic. Then in the Nashville metro area they have many good teams. Then down around Memphis area the Memphis University high school always fields strong teams.
Hawaii seems to combine cultural aspects and technique of Japanese/Taiwanese teams with the athleticism and confidence of American teams. Deadly combination that most teams dont have and that's why they are having success. Still need to finish strong. Yessah and God blessah
That's my grand nephew on the mound for Tennessee! Throws strikes..that's important..Josiah! Yeah son! No matter what happens Saturday..be proud fellas.
Nice! Your kids (if you have any) must be related to him the way I'm related to Trent McNiel then! And Josiah...what a way to hit your team's first home run of the tournament.
@@philipmcniel4908 Yes..they are cousins to Drew's mother..I hope Trent pitches Saturday..Maybe throw Hawaii off a bit.. Josiah..you gotta love that fella..I love em all! Lifetime memory for them.
I agree. I hate attributing the recover and focus and drive to Jesus but letting him off the hook for being blinded. It's silly. Faith is cool, though. Faith in oneself, etc. No need for a "savior."
I hope after this game, the Tennessee coach explains to whomever pitches to throw all inside pitches against Hawaii. Those boys crowd the plate like crazy. Make those boys uncomfortable. Make them earn hits. Nothing wrong with a little brushback.
@@francisbishop5158 I saw a few inside pitches that jammed them. They made contact, but it wasn’t barrel. Tennessee has superb fielding. Everything should be low and inside, with an occasional brushback high and inside.
@@kaleikim1009 that’s my point. They aren’t uncomfortable crowding because little leaguers rarely pitch inside. Most times the zone is way wide. Hawaii crowds, giving them the ability to even reach that far outside pitch . It’s just like in the bigs. Same concept. You cried, you get brushed, and bruised, and brushed. The one Hawaii kid got hit by a pitch. His next at bat, he was more off the plate. Don’t forget they are young kids. Giving them a brushback puts them just a little more hesitant! Those boys are too damn good to leave it over the plate. Low and inside all night long. Force them to hit grounders, and let your superb fielding handle the rest. That’s the only hope. Tennessee should make shirt up that say “Low and Inside!!!l” not one pitch should be outside all night long! Not one!’
I mean, I think there's a difference between having a few stocky players and having players who look a bit grown up, though I'm not one of those who were crying about Hawaii (and neither was the TN coach, obviously).
12:55 what is the ump doing !!!! He should be on foul side not on the field of play , lucky it wasn't a game changing play !!! Umps need to address this to themselves!!!!
Hawaii has 3 pitchers better than China's 1. Hawaii has 5 pitchers better than most teams. They are stacked. China has only been dominant with 1 pitcher. Hawaii has been dominant EVERY game. The stats are incredible on offense and defense. It's simply facts.
I can admit when I'm wrong. I'm wrong. Should be a great championship game. They are both dominant in their games. A pitching battle perhaps. I do think Hawaii has better bats....but both have shut down opposing batters. My bad on the mix up. I've obviously followed the U.S. side more. Hawaii is stacked
@@Murican-Faith Hawaii has allowed only one run this whole LLWS in the winners bracket. They have excellent pitching, fielding and hitting. They aint beating a well rested Hawaii team that were doing indoor hitting drills all day today. Love your optimism but it aint happening sorry.
To be fair, whoever loses still gets to play a consolation game against the loser of Taiwan/Curacao. So even if Tenn. loses, they can still come out to a decent standing.
YOU CAN NEVER & I MEAN NEVER PREDICT A GREAT PITCHING PERFORMANCE OR A GREAT HITTING PERFORMANCE. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME.................
I understand these kids are only like 12 years old but these strikezones they’re calling are absolutely terrible. These kids have to swing at balls 4 inches off the plate and anything from the ankles to the armpits.
Taiwan vs Curacao for the international and Hawaii vs Tennessee for the US. I liked Tennessee's offensive skills the first time I saw them play, so I'm good with where everything stands. I'll be pulling for Taiwan in the international bracket and Tennessee in the US bracket. Hawaii is probably the favorite, but coming from California, it's usually Hawaii that knocks our teams out of the LLWS. Been a great tournament so far.
Porter raking with vision in only one eye is nothing short of amazing. Hitting a baseball with perfect vision is so difficult, I really am amazed. Great job young man.
If club teams would join little league w the intention to go to the ws they would spankkk . our catcher was doing trailers we’d do trick plays had first n third plays diff ball yo you were able to lead off n all
I guess they can't have all the Texas teams play in the same state tournament and only then draw a line somewhere between El Paso and Houston when it comes to Southwest and Southeast, but I hear what you're saying.
I am so happy for all of the Tennessee team but especially for Josiah Porter. I love that kid and am so happy he is able to do what he is doing
I only have the use of one eye also, and it's nowhere near 20/20. So I know what he's dealing with. That being said, it's not as bad as people think. Yeah your depth perception is off, but you learn to compensate. He'll do okay in life.

If club teams would join little league w the intention to go to the ws they would spankkk . our catcher was doing trailers we’d do trick plays had first n third plays diff ball yo you were able to lead off n all
She was glassy eyed and just wanted to get the hell away from that dude.
Been saying it since the regionals but tenn short stop is so good in the field
Only 3 games have had 4 double plays they got close!
Kid with one eye hitting a grand slam is pretty insane
How tf he’s out first base ain’t one the bag wtf
Hawaii
Both my favorite teams got dumped today😔
Thank you wheels, I love your content
Gimme a T for Texas and a T for Tennessee!!
Southwest is a funny name for a team from Houston. Should be southeast.
I guess they can't have all the Texas teams play in the same state tournament and only then draw a line somewhere between El Paso and Houston when it comes to Southwest and Southeast, but I hear what you're saying.
Now they get to play the liars.
Not that it matters..but that last pitch was a quick pitch/balk. Ump should have stopped it.
Why?
Worst home plate umpire so far
Ngl I’d rather j take the L then have to play Hawaii 😭
Nah they know they're gonna lose to Hawai'i. But the real goal here was playing either Taiwan or Curacao for 3rd.
Texas really played terrible
3:48 absolutely is amazing
Tennessee vs Hawaii next
Texas LF looks like Lupus
I understand that they are 12 year olds, but the last pitch of the game is technically a balk, he did not come set.
don’t have to in little league as the runners don’t lead, they can quick pitch
@@logansparrow4633 I get that, but still they should be taught that's a balk especially as they start calling balks at age 13.
@@noaheggert9352 they all know it’s a balk at any other level. Been a balk since 9U.
These shortstops are better than isiah kiner falefa
Where do they find these umps 😭😭
