Curaçao vs California (MUST WATCH, AMAZING CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!) | LLWS Highlights 2023

Curacao and California played in the 2023 Little League World Series Championship Game!
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.

The fact that both of these teams came out of the loser bracket is stunning

[@johnnyt316]

Explain this to me if you don't mind? What is the loser bracket?

[@loganleroy8622]

If you lose a game you go to the losers bracket and play against other teams that have also lost. If you lose in the losers bracket, you’re eliminated from the competition. The farther along you win before you lose the fewer games you have to play in the loser’s bracket. The winner of the front side of the bracket waits in the finals while the other teams in the loser’s bracket fight to stay alive an ear a spot in the finals.

[@norcalpatriot]

Yeah once you’re in the losers bracket, every game from there on, is basically an elimination game. Every game is a fight for survival and to play another day. These boys showed grit and resiliency, and put on a show for the country and fans all across California.

Indeed. Fastforward to professionals who only high-five eachother after a win. I yearn for when I was a kid sometimes.

[@leonardbrinkman4410]

And to think that one of the players for El Segundo California pull it off. They were down 12:55 until all of a sudden right at the bottom of the sixth inning that was the end of it after Curacao tied it. The Grand slam may have started it but the walk-off home run finished it. Now you see why little kids love to play baseball it's in their blood, and the kid that hit that home run can win the game for that team in California most likely will wind up in Major League baseball playing for the Los Angeles dodgers.

Yeah had this conversation last season with a few as well. The west region is ruthless if you consider the quality of baseball that comes out of those specific areas. All four major areas involved in the west region are extremely competitive when it comes to baseball and the amount of talent that comes out of those areas to both college and/or the pros is staggering. If the west coast could finally get a solid college baseball squad again in southern CA it would be competitive almost immediately. As it stands all the top tier CA kids who want to stay somewhat local head to either Oregon State or, if grades are good enough, Stanford. But USC, Arizona State, UCLA, and Fullerton should be top 10 schools yearly but have really dropped off. USC especially. They used to be dominant but have been awful over the past decade or two.

That ‘s the whole point. 1 dominant player doesn’t not win a championship. Teams win championships and coaches need to strategize how they use their pitchers to make sure you don’t get caught in a game with non-competitive pitching. Same thing happened to Curaçao in the championship last year. They burned their best pitchers in the previous game and had nothing in the championship.

[@scottweisel3640]

It’s not perfect, but it is far better than the days when you were eliminated with one loss. The tournament is set up for the USA and International finals to be played on Saturday and the World Championship on Sunday. It is driven by (you guessed it) TV. We seldom see a world championship game where both teams can start their ace which also isn’t fair to the kids.

WOW this was better than most MLB games 😳

[@benthompson4011]

In his interview the kid said I knew it was going before the ball even hit the bat…that’s how you know that kid is going somewhere in baseball

I remember winning a championship game just like this when I was younger and I did the exact same thing, so much emotion after such a long season and to end it that way is just what u dream of when u start playing the game! I shed a tear after that too, Hats off to both teams. The love of the game lives on

Great game

A fantastic championship game. Kudos to Curaçao for fighting back and tying it. Congratulations to El Segundo CA, USA on their 2023 Little League World Series Championship.

Just want to thank you for making these videos. Haven't been able to watch any games but got to see all of your videos. So thank you!

Thank you Wheels for putting all the games together to get us to here!! Your the best my spiritual brother!!.. 😊

#10 for Curacao was the most arrogant and disrespectful kid in LLWS history, from the stare down after a strikeout to standing over a player thrown out at home pumping his fist and yelling in his face. If anyone deserved to lose that game it was him and it was glorious.

[@izquierdo1770]

when did he stand over a player that got thrown out at home? i thought a player from the Venezuela team did that to him. i do agree with you though (learning needed there but he’s just a kid + sports competitive culture in caribbean & south america is much different than the U.S. - as my dad told me, he learned about the concept of bullying for the first time once we immigrated lol)

Maybe don’t be an old head and let the kids play

[@tcbowen12]

I'm just gutted still that Chinese Tapei wasn't in the championship. Kids gave up 4 total hits in the tourney and still didn't make it. What a absolute outstanding game these young men played though. So, so good..

[@mikeyschmidt20]

What a great game to watch. These kids on both teams have promising futures ahead of them. Great game fellas! Lets give a round of applause to the parents and coaches who spent a lot of time outside of work to dedicate their time and effort to give these kids a chance 👏

Wow what a summer to remember. It started off with what was the greatest CWS tournaments ever and finished with this gem to close out a fantastic LLWS tournament.Lots to be excited about for the future of baseball looks bright
