South Dakota vs New York | LLWS Elimination Game | 2024 LLWS Highlights

South Dakota and New York played an elimination game in the 2024 Little League World Series.
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.

Over his shoulder catch..... 12 year old kid acts like another school day. Got to love it!

[@brianmeen2158]

So many impressive plays in this tournament

[@LDthehunter]

annoucer defintley thought it was gone lol

The pitchers in this years tournament are some DAWGS

defense has been insane

Amazing game for team Italy

South Dakota was scared to win as they were scared they’d get whacked in the parking lot after the game

[@michaelc7014]

​@tyler108Staten Island has a higher percentage of Italians than any other county in the United States.

[@Mason_senkbeil]

How do you go down looking at a pitch right down the middle and then throw your bat like you expected it to be called a ball.

[@nevermindme8922]

That got us benched. You don’t look at strike 3

[@pjsavagejr]

@@Mason_senkbeil It's tough to say unless you have been in that moment. Nobody knows

They’re 12, that’s how.. calm down

[@turtuhl]

Quality stuff Wheels. Thanks!

[@michelpercy3880]

What I am impressed with is the defense from those kids and the way they understand the game, very very out of this world

[@brianmeen2158]

So am I. I’m actually shocked as to how good they are. I struggle with believing they are just standard all star teams - they seem like a group of the best players in the district

[@mrbrainnyc258]

No "little league home runs" in this little league...😄⚾️

[@64vyn]

Umps missed the call at home, shifted momentum and the game never recovered. Hard to watch.

[@drumatic123]

Terrible call at the plate really hurt South Dakota. I've seen awful umps every year at llws. They need to do better. They scored all their runs off of that horrible call. Fire him!

[@fatmanjonestv7143]

13:06 going down looking at strike 3 (right down the middle) sucks, but him throwing his bat like he got walked 🫣 that’s tough man my coach would’ve flipped

[@classicalsquire2016]

this catcher from NY has made a couple nice plays so far

[@LNSmithee]

7:00 The 1B umpire making the call at the plate was about to call the NY runner out. Watch his body motions until the moment he glances at the SD catcher holding up the ball. Then, suddenly, he says the runner is SAFE?! The ESPN crew in the booth seemed to think replays would show the ball falling out of the SD catcher’s mitt. Then they watched it from every angle, and saw that the ball NEVER CAME OUT. They were about to agree on that when the umps decided to stick with their mistake. 🤬 Kids are kids. We’re not supposed to expect them to act like responsible, professional adults. We ARE, however, supposed to expect that of the umpires!

[@SportsFreak217]

It’s the right call. The catcher never had full control of the ball. You need to have clear and convincing evidence to over turn the original call.

[@JJA1987]

Garbage Call

[@brianmeen2158]

It was the right call as the catcher trapped the ball between his glove and the dirt - he didn’t not have control of the ball. Very good call by the ref

[@AdderTude]

@@brianmeen2158 But even after the runner's foot collided with the glove, the ball was still trapped in the glove itself and never popped out. It doesn't need to be fully inside the glove to count as having control. MLB has overturned similar plays for less. Bad call.

[@Shadowdaddy]

Definitely a bad call. That ball didn’t move one bit. I could see if the ball popped out of the mit at any point but it didn’t look like it moved at all. Plus the runner didn’t even look like he touched home plate for a while…

[@brianmeen2158]

Props to New York as they are a tough team and have a ton of heart. New York plays Illinois tomorrow and I think NY will win but I’m Rooting for the boys from Illinois

[@sportgeek2028]

I think he was out at home plate …the ball touched the ground sure but it never left his glove and did the guy ever touch home plate ? But nice win for New York anyways

[@AdderTude]

Honestly, that call changed the game for SD.

[@adcatchem2707]

You have to catch the ball and control..underline control.. the ball completely through a tag to be considered an out… just throwing that out there for anybody wondering or blinded by anger

[@mrbrainnyc258]

And it was reviewed. Two fine LL teams, a great game but only one winner. That's baseball.

[@jxcobrr]

Last pitch right down the middle 🥱 crazy

[@JustinConcepcion-e6l]

The last batter really thought that was a ball? lol that was right down the middle.

[@josephgonzalez4949]

New York had a good run this year hope they enjoyed this win cause it’s the last one they’ll get

[@pjsavagejr]

This game was won in the first inning. It's like I said "If New York gets out of the inning without giving up a run, watch out" I was really looking forward to a South Dakota vs Illinois match up since regionals. I don't think anyone had predicted the Midwest going out in two. Too much talent on that team.

[@larryyoder4861]

I was up at Whitestown for the Midwest regional and thought Iowa was the most talented team there

[@brianmeen2158]

South Dakota is very god but New York has better talent and even more heart. New York vs Illinois tomorrow and I think New York is a level better but I’m rooting for Illinois

[@brianmeen2158]

@@larryyoder4861 I think quite a few great teams got screwed by the ‘modified double elimination’ format.. in regionals they won and stayed in the winners bracket but lost the last game and were eliminated . I don’t like that

[@64vyn]

@@brianmeen2158that sounds really weird

[@coreytrevor6276]

I don’t like that the Midwest and southeast are both 8 team regions yet all the northeastern teams get to compete in 4 team regions. Seems pretty biased to me for certain states to have a much higher likelihood of making it to Williamsport than others. Same with the 10 team formats once in Williamsport. Teams with a bye the first game automatically are put into the winners bracket game. Format needs to be fixed.

[@loutheseal4475]

12:15 how is this not gone I feel like this USA hype fire has no juice he caught every stitch of that ball

[@biggibby111]

That’s bc every USA bat has no juice

[@jxcobrr]

#8 such a baby stop letting bro pitch

[@Justme0528]

Once again the Umpire SCREWED another team shifting the momentum to the other team! Either its rigged or their just incompetent! That boy was out at home, if you look he never touched home plate before the boy got control of the ball again but they called him safe? Wack. I feel sorry for that team man, they worked way to hard to just lose it to another bad play caller! Not to mention the interference call on that play to 1st that should of been called! Absolutely ridiculous!

[@JJA1987]

@@Justme0528 No doubt

[@mrbrainnyc258]

It wasn't the ump. He called what he saw- a dropped ball. If he was actually out the fault lies with the crew that reviewed the challenge. That's their job.

[@Seducers]

New Yorks catcher is mint.

[@linussimn]

It makes sense it was a women umpire

[@jeffhunter3346]

Worst umpiring ive seen in many years by an out of position 1st base umpire. Then not over turn it after replay shows New York players foot didnt even touch home plate. UNREAL UMP.

[@GreatCounsel]

If catcher doesn't have possesion and the foot hits catchers mit. Its obstruction of baseline runner gets the base doesnt have to touch the plate.

[@67L48]

7:06. Kid is standing there with his foot on the front of the plate. Umpire is staring right at it. I'm not sure how you miss this, since it's in slow-mo.

[@meme8315]

Better open your eyes or get better glasses bc his foot was clearly on home plate

[@fitfogey]

The ump made the right call. Replay made the right call. You didn’t.

Nice win for New York.

Why does it seem like there is so so many wild pitches?? All of the games ive watched it would dumbfound someone to know how many runs scored just from wild pitches... plus how many stolen bases because of it also...now i know they are 12.. and maybe its always happened..but i dont remember it being this bad in the past...

[@Sherbert12]

It’s always happened. Like you said, they’re 12, playing on national TV.

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

Joe Torre wouldn’t like that 😂😂

[@brianmeen2158]

I don’t think they make that many errors. I mean, they are 12 and their defense is very good aside from an occasional hiccup

[@Battle-onfishing]

Because they are trying to throw too many breaking balls.. I still feel 12 years old is still a bit young for the breaking balls .. I mean damn these kids throw heat for their age .. but they can't even hit their spots with a fast ball (some not all) at this age I feel a good accurate fastball inside ... and change up.. all these kids crowd the plate

[@andysmith6156]

Yeah its crazy, way too many

[@Justme0528]

It dont really matter because not one of these United States teams are beating them other country teams. Them boys are built differently.

[@NewEnglandNELifer1-t6e]

LOL

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

Those kids from New York have a piece of paper folded up in their pocket with a crayon picture of themselves and it says "I am 12"

[@dillonlabonte9685]

Watch the Venezuela game

[@JJA1987]

Same can be said for Florida and Hawaii

[@Shadowdaddy]

It is crazy but I believe it. When I was in little league we faced a few kids who were over 6ft

[@keithbronson9777]

The coach shouldn't let thesr kids act like a bunch of peacocks. If your good, you don;t have to puff your scrawny chest and act the fool.

[@cylusjackson9492]

[@keithbronson9777]

@@cylusjackson9492 Yes they're 12, that's a good time to teach them.I guess that's the culture these days. Everyone wants to be a star on social media.

[@snickers882]

I thought that to a point also... I get getting hyped and celebrating.. and yes the whole pointing out your chest and doing whatever with your hands or face. Or even a dance is what the new generation does. Which is fine because I'm old. Who am I to say its cringe or over the top... but I see kids celebrating getting singles..acting like they hit a triple or a homerun. But I also understand they are 12.. and to be in that situation and have that opportunity I guess I can understand.
