Fairfield Little League World Series

Just beat Hawaii after beating the Texas team. It would be cool to see another Connecticut team win it all.

Watched last night - crazy 5th inning! Let’s go Metro!!!

The manager, Brian is a good dude (and a Husky loyalist). He and I coached together when his son and the twins SJ and Jimmy were just starting to play t-ball in Fairfield. Fun to watch them on tv for sure.

Fun team - represents the Italian American’s of CT well. Their ace/SS is a stud, game ending DP was a thing of beauty for a 12 year old in how he skimmed the bag with his toe and flipped it to first. Credit that game to great fundamentals and two amazing relays from the OF, game changing.

Buddy’s and I were discussing how Hawaii always has such good teams (4 titles since 2005) yet very little MLB players. Maybe spam accelerates puberty?

 

[Flipside]

I tuned in at the right time, down 0-1, bases loaded w/ 2 outs ... great game!

It helps when you get hit square in the elbow padding.
