Little League World Series

[whippoorwill]

I start this topic every year and I know not all of us watch it but I still do :)

 

it is POURING here. Not sure how they’ll get any games in today but they’re shooting for 3 pm

I watched it last night a little. Was hoping to be there in person but we got bounced in sectionals. All of our kids were relatively normal-sized.  :p

 

bayonnes got a beast in rincon, as another thread just a little down from this one points to. 
 

monster home run last night to walk it off.

That's Kinley Rasmus of Phenix City, AL.  She is one of only two girls among the rosters of the 20 teams in the tournament, and just threw six scoreless innings of two-hit ball.

But Little League has a mandatory rule that forces a manager to pull the pitcher after reaching a maximum pitch count, and after the scoreless game went to extras, her team's bullpen couldn't hold on, and they lost to Washington.

I don't have any reporting to support this notion, but I've got to strongly suspect Kinley is the daughter of Colby Rasmus, as he also represented Phenix City in the LLWS back in 1999. 

Unlike Colby, though, she did it all with a white ribbon in her hair.

Kinley Rasmus, just the 9th girl to pitch in the Little League World Series, punched out eight over six scoreless innings, allowing just a single hit! pic.twitter.com/mbVKuVAOU1

Niece.  She is the daughter of Cory Rasmus  (also a former MLB player).

And looking him up, Cory was also on that Phenix City '99 team.
