Texas vs Washington (CRAZY GAME!) | Winner To USA Championship | 2023 LLWS Highlights

[@jordanmccollum6040]

Shortstop made an incredible play to end the game! To catch the hop, spin around, and throw a dart to first takes some great talent.

[@skygh]

Spinning into it. Amazing toss

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

That's a big league play right there. Scant few 12 year-olds can pull that off.

[@jacobhamilton4184]

I played shortstop my entire life and most people truly don’t understand how difficult it can be to play that hop to begin with. Then the spin, and a good throw to first. Excellent play

[@jakeking4283]

Honestly one of the best plays I’ve ever seen in LLWS. Especially with everything on the line

[@bradmadeira6807]

They call THAT a Baseball player my guy… Welcome

[@inttruders]

This was one of the most well played games I have seen in the Little League World series. That kid for Washington who came in with the bases loaded and no outs then went 3-0 on the first batter only to strike out the side without giving up a run was one of the most clutch moments I have seen in these games.

[@brianmeen2158]

And these are 12 year olds! Impressive indeed

[@dav3eii725]

A game for the record books! Some of the most unbelievable defensive from both teams. Both teams played remarkable!

[@markgould1704]

Absolutely incredible

[@jalenking810]

Big cajones

[@joeheid2776]

When you're in the 4th inning and there's still.12 min left of video left you know there's gonna be a wild ending!! Congrats Texas!!!!! Good luck tomorrow Seattle! And thanks Wheels!!! You were right about a wild game!!

[@TheHockey12]

After umpiring LL for over 40 years, that was one of the most amazing & exciting games I've ever seen!

[@freshnorthwest6756]

too bad the umps behind the plate couldn't make some very simple calls for balls and strikes. Did a decent job but some of his calls were outright atrocious, kids deserve better than that.

[@majorrev8690]

[@TheHockey12]

@@freshnorthwest6756 Yeah, I saw a few that were outside the "Little League plate norm" . We would usually give the Pitcher the black of the plate, maybe more, if he has earned it.

[@resudeew2636]

That was one of the greatest little league games I've ever seen. Such amazing defense on both sides. Jablonski is a savage.

[@theNfl_Esq]

Texas has been phenomenal. Town of 3k 45 minutes outside of Houston. I grew up out there. Good people! Great kids. Aggie coach 👍🏻🔥❕

I said after they beat Louisiana they would win it all WERE GOING ALL THE WAY BABY

[@brianmeen2158]

They only have 3k people and they fielded this good a team?! Hmmm seems very unlikely

[@StacksB]

@@brianmeen2158it’s actually true , they all go to the same middle school together as well . that’s why it’s so impressive. A lot of people didn’t expect them to be this far

[@thisguy8106]

That bases loaded, 3-0 hole to comeback and strike out 3 in a row was still clutch af for that pitcher even though his team ultimately lost.. One of the best games I've seen in the LLWS.

[@nicocalderon2622]

One of best games I’ve seen in the llws. First that missile from the center fielder to home to save that very important run and then in the end, the shortstop from texas saved the game for them with that spin and throw 🔥🔥

[@automan1950]

DJ the catcher was clamping the glove shut so the sliding runner wouldn't knock the ball loose. What great fundamentals.

[@jasonbriggs2559]

The BEST LLWS game I have watched in a LONG time! Each of the teams refused to let the other one score! EXCEPTIONAL pitching!!! Defensive and game saving plays and catches one after another! Both teams are well coached and show great sportsmanship! I have been pulling for Needville, TX, since this is their first time being there, and they are a small town like mine is... These teams could very well be facing one another again for the United States Championship. It would be great to see that happen and there be a "round 2", but I don't know HOW they will be able to top this one! 🙂

[@Planedoc1959]

The best baseball game I’ve seen in years at any level!! Congrats to Texas!

[@theshrikeer]

Wow as a kid i lived in Needville and remember just playing in the cotton fields. Its been amazing to see them come this far im just happy they're there and playing phenomenally!

[@chrisfagot8585]

Best game I’ve ever seen

[@washedupwarvet2027]

That SS with the play to win it. Wow! That was big time

[@Had_A_DAT]

This one was a nail biter!!! Go Texas!!

[@carsonsmith5820]

as someone who is from the neighboring city to needville i am very excited about this needville run

Yup! Especially after last years pearland run also.

[@Cmoli3145]

one of the best little games i’ve seen all year. not just little league. both teams are elite

[@beabetteryou398]

One of the best LL games I have ever watched. Both teams deserve a tip of the cap on that one.

[@Dr.Acula76]

Loved watching the parents tip their caps to the other teams starting pitchers when they eventually had to be pulled

[@SteelChords]

Man, I was nervous that whole time 😂 hell of a game! One of the best defensive showings this year so far from both teams! And the pitching was on point all the way throughout! These 2 definitely deserved to be here!

[@Dr.Acula76]

They'll probably meet again on Sat

[@free2befree]

Texans for Texas right here!!!! Also what a game, for both teams!!!!

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Are you kidding me with that play to save the game? Pro play young man!

[@nyd1998]

Everybody’s talking about that shortstop but, that Jomblowski behind the plate had a great game.

[@lajaunescott9273]

This is one of the best games I have watched in many years. These kids are phenomenal.

[@eddiesanchez5925]

Super unfortunate that the Washington coach decided not to bunt with runners at 2nd/3rd and no one out in the 9th. Defense was playing deep. Lay one down the line and the game is tied at least.

[@chrisdonahue]

maybe he tried but fouled them off since count was already 0-2

[@Dr.Acula76]

@@chrisdonahue He didn't. I watched the game

[@LG215x]

Yeah you could tell that coach was dumber than a bag of rocks

[@ForensicEng]

Not every kid can reliably lay down a bunt. If your kid cannot get a bunt down, then you just cripple him by making him try and he fouls off two pitches, then only having one swing to try to move the runner over with what he may do better than bunting . . .

[@TheAmericanDalaiLama]

i watched the full game, they didn't weirdly@@chrisdonahue

This is one of those games where you wish both teams could’ve won because they both played so well.

[@FlowJoYaKnow]

You da man Wheels. Always come back to your page each year

[@sgtelias2258]

Even more amazing given how many games at this level score runs on wild pitches and passed balls. Great pitching, phenomenal catching and defense. Too bad they both couldn't advance to the winner's bracket as they used a lot of their pitch counts for the next game.

[@automan1950]

At 7:07 DJ the catcher was clamping the glove shut so the sliding runner wouldn't knock the ball loose. What great fundamentals.

[@watchinghh]

Great awareness and fundamentals through the whole game even though alot was on the line in a very tight game. The Washington starting pitcher was amazing. That throw from the center fielder in the bottom of the 5th perfect. Texas 2nd baseman played perfectly. Im from Texas so of course I'm rooting for them but both teams played lights out.

[@Wayne_Hornsby]

What a great game on both sides! Congrats to Texas

[@kaspar_1982]

both these teams are all stars, a fantastic game.

[@TheJohnnyChipSalazar]

That game was an instant classic. For all the negative comments on this video. 1. Where is your team that you coach in this tournament? Lastly to question some of the coaches decisions in this game is natural but they didn’t make it this far by making many bad decisions. It’s easy to second guess when your team loses but same decisions in a win, no one talks about it 🖐🏽🎤
