Tennessee vs Florida (Winner To Williamsport) | Southeast Region Championship | 2023 LLWS Highlights

Tennessee and Florida played in the Southeast Regional Championship in the 2023 Little League World Series. This was an elimination game, with the winner advancing to Williamsport.
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, MLB), 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.

I love that they went with the Vanderbilt pinstripe look. I'm happy for them, and glad they are repping TN in black and gold.

Orlando native here...we haven't made the LLWS since 2005 (when I was in LL), so it was super exciting watching these kids play. Unfortunately there were some errors made and Tennessee went damn near flawless. Hats off to them and better luck for us Floridians next time!

[@evolutionofcando379]

it's like the jumps have never seen breaking balls until they get in the regionals, lot of bad umpires at this level unfortunately

[@andrewmeadors6381]

This happens pretty regularly at that age level across all leagues (little league, usssa, etc.). Not saying I agree with it, but with kids at that age accuracy is not the best so the game would be prolonged. Also, most of the umpires are volunteering their time to do this so you are not getting pros back there unfortunately.

The bats they use seem so flimsy and just like a twig. You can see they’re hitting balls well and they’re just not traveling.

I wasn’t big or strong and had no problems swinging a -8 or -9

[@celica49]

I think part of it is that they are making the bats a little less hot to avoid injuries. Having a 12 year old 40 feet away after his pitch stride with a ball coming back up the middle at 70mph is a recipe for disaster.
