Fairfield Little League World Series

[Deepster]

I go to every home football game and usually my friends get so bombed they pull out the karaoke machine and start blasting random one-hit wonders from the 90’s during the tailgate.

Always a good time.

I’m in for karaoke. DM me.

UConn repped by the Fairfield team a few ways. Apparently the dad of the Greek Taxiltaridis twins, played for the UConn football team.

This is going to get us into the Big 12

all US remaining teams will have their ace eligible to pitch
gotta stay away from South Carolina kid ... throws hard

South Carolina about to be eliminated by South Dakota

EDIT: what a jinx

I'm now watching the South Dakota v. South Carolina game in extras. Little League World Series is always wildly entertaining.

He blew an NIL opportunity by not shouting out A & S or Sorrento Importing as the supplier of the sandwich....

Gaetanos’s blows both of those away. Sorrento’s is solid, but they are known for small sandwiches. A&S is overrated.

Agreed but Gaetanos is in Westport, and owned by Albanians not Italians. Fairfield National LL covers the east side of Fairfield where both those delis are located.

Sorrento Cheese is my hometown go-to!

Fairfield wins 7-3 and moves on to the US title game. I swear these Fairfield kids play better defense than the Yankees.

Cashman offered to help out together the team and Fairfield told him to get lost.......

 

[Scrutineer]

Great win. The ESPN announcers mentioned that Boden Dunlap's father dove at UConn . . .

Many of us dove at UConn......

Fairfield vs Nevada

Defense by Fairfield was special. SS and CF major league.

 

[M.S.G.]

Pretty impressive run by these kids, so they are in the US Final correct? Have to be beaten twice by either NV or SC?

 

[mike012]

The US championship game is a 1 game playoff. No more double elimination at that point.

 

[Blakeon18]

BTW: Fairfield's centerfielder's catch? Got #6 in this morning's top ten plays.

Question: the USA championship goes to Saturday winner between Fairfield and
South Carolina. Does the winner play the International champ on Sunday?
Probably without their best pitcher who will be going Saturday.

I’m not sure how it falls, but hopefully Ffld avoids the big Italian kid on SC, kid throws cheese. He looks 16 years old - early bloomer.

As for Taipei, is this the same team that won 17/27 LLWS back in the 70-90s? More of a militant baseball academy than an actual town/district?

 

[Umami Zen]

Tight defense - timely hitting-aggressive base running. Recipe for success. Fairfield is looking solid
