Florida vs Nevada (Elimination Game) | Winner To USA Championship | 2024 LLWS Highlights

Florida and Nevada played an elimination game in the 2024 Little League World Series. The winner would advance to play Texas in the United States Championship Game on Saturday. Included within this video is a cool story from Wheels, located after the first inning highlights conclude.
Covering sports in a unique way since 2018.
If you’re looking for high quality sports content, then this is the channel for you! I’ve covered Baseball (NCAA, LLWS, Professional), Football (NCAA, NFL), Softball (NCAA), Basketball (NBA, NCAA), Hockey (NHL), and much more!
The best part of my work as a KZbinr is being able to provide coverage of sports that may not receive as much attention as they should to the large audience I have built over the years. Many of the sports I cover aren't posted by any other KZbinrs, which makes this channel that much more important.
One of my favorite accomplishments is revolutionizing the way sports channels create thumbnails. I've adopted two different styles, one with logos on the left and a game snapshot on the right, and the other with the logos in the middle and game snapshots representing both teams on either side.
I have a combined 4 years of experience as a Baseball & Basketball Play by Play announcer, which is where I learned my skills for commentary/breakdowns.

Thank you for pumping these videos out for all of us man. I don't have cable so i just watch the highlights on YT. Also, I thought Florida and Texas are the two best teams on the US side so it's nice to see them both play for a chance to win it all.

[@lol88133]

That's a cool story about meeting some Little Leaguers at Yankee Stadium! I actually have a similar story, I was flying out of Prague earlier this month and the kids from the Czech Republic LLWS team just happened to be on the flight at the gate right next to mine, I could tell it was them because they were wearing sweatshirts with the Czech baseball logo and I was like "are you guys the team going to Williamsport?" and they were like "yeah" so I was like "I'll be rooting for you!" Was pretty cool

[@markmurphy6260]

Texas vs Florida, should be a great rematch.

[@brianmeen2158]

I wonder if Texas will use their ace? I mean, you don’t want to win and not have your ace available for the championship

[@tainanking]

@@brianmeen2158 can't get to sunday without winning saturday. No choice. US teams don't play this conserved which is why I was surprised that Florida didn't throw their ace till closing for this game. I don't think texas has anything good enough beyond number 2 to throw at Florida.

[@IMDGEN]

Nevada should walk away with their heads held high. Best game I've seen out of 2 US teams thus far. They played great, had some really exciting defensive plays and they weren't scared to hit the ball. Hats off to them, and well done Florida.

Can’t believe Nevada gave up 3 straight walks to start the game. That cost them the game tbh, because that allowed Florida to jump ahead 4-0.

and then after the 1st, the rest of the game was chill. That happens quite often in big games. The big innings come at the beginning or the end. I expected this to be a shootout

[@supergio4551]

Wonder why they didn't let Teraj Alexander pitch earlier in this llws 🤔🤔 Texas has a better chance of winning than losing. But if Feliciano can stop throwing too many balls, then maybe Florida has a chance at beating Texas.

[@tainanking]

I think nevada was just weak. Plus, maybe he hasn't done so well in the past. This happens quite a lot in llb. Hawaii threw a small kid in a championship game one time who didn't even pitch in regionals or even states and did fairly well

He was way off. That call gets missed all of the time in all leagues, but I’m surprised that it was missed by the umps and coaches. It looked like the runner said, “he was off the bag”.
