Perhaps Ill be made fun of for this, but this game is incredible. Tennessee v. California playing for a spot in the final against Japan tomorrow.

Lorenzo Butler (Tenn.) has 3 homers and 9 RBI.

Tenn led 15-5 going into the last half of the 6th (last inning). California got 10 runs, including back to back homers to tie the game, last one by one of the coach's kids.

They are headed to extra innings tied at 15.

Awesome game.

Yep! I'm watching. Petaluma, California is only about 30 minutes from me! Amazing comeback. They never give up! @)

The announcers just said it best...these pitchers aren't good enough to get any of these hitters out at this point. These kids are pretty incredible.

I said it before, the LLWS is a joy and refreshing to watch. These kids are really something.

It truly is my favorite baseball to watch. We won state when I was in LL, and went to regional to come up one game short. It's always had a special place in my heart since hoping to
Live the dream over 20 years ago. It truly is exciting.

Jonny Gomes of the A's is from Petaluma and has raised a bunch of money for the team.

Yep! The estimated cost to bring the families of the Petaluma team was $65,000 and over $80,000 was raised! Wouldn't be surprised to see both the A's and Giants invite the team to come on their fields to take a bow. The Bay Area really fell in love with these kids. They lost but they didn't disappoint.

I'm probably the only one but doesn't it make you want to go out there and knock one out of the park on national TV off these little kids? That would be cool. To make it fair, each team could have a a grown up play on the team. And if I wasn't able to hit it out but made it on base, I'd be stealing bases like a mutherfvker.

watched quite a bit of it.. the strike zones these umps are calling are a joke.. i realize they dont want it to turn into a walkathon, but come on.. these are the best in the world, tighten it up a little.

The brilliant minds at WKBW in Buffalo cut away to a Bills pre-season talk show just after the game was tied at 15. Who does that?
