Follow live updates of Hagerstown's Little League game
RICHMOND, Ind. – Pal-Item sports reporter Zach Piatt will have live updates throughout today's Little League World Series game between Indiana – Hagerstown – and Pennsylvania.
Hagerstown must win today in order to stay alive, having lost in extra innings Monday, 5-2, against Tennessee.
Hagerstown’s next game is at 3 p.m. today against Team Mid-Atlantic from Pennsylvania. With a win, the Tigers will play the winner of Texas and Iowa Wednesday.
Rabel's single brings in PA's seventh run of the day, and McGough's double scores three more to bring the score to 10-0 and end the game via run rule.
That'll do it for Hagerstown's time at the LLWS. A lot of fight shown by those kids. It's been my pleasure to cover them.— Zach Piatt (@zachpiatt13) August 23, 2022
The broadcast is back, and we are just about ready to get this thing back underway. Here's the scene:

Players are walking off the field. We have ourselves another weather delay. PA leads 6-0 in the fourth inning.

Hatch strikes out the side. He is rolling right now. Still 6-0 PA, and it's their turn to hit again.

Troutwine subsequently induces a flyout to end the third inning. PA leads 6-0. They've got this thing where they score two runs every inning. IN going to need to have some bigger innings to shift the momentum.

Hagerstown now bringing in Troutwine to pitch in the third inning. Patrick Vinson came out and said "You guys are acting like it's a 14-0 ballgame. It's 4-0. We've come back from that." Doing his best to keep the morale high.

Side note: ESPN broadcaster Karl Ravech is overdoing the nicknames for Nolan Cheeseman. Y'all should go let him know about it.

PA manager visits the mound after Hall walks, and he gets his players pumped up to get the final out of the inning.

Sideline reporter talking to Jayke Troutwine's parents in the stands. They talked about how he likes to use a wooden bat and wear high socks above his knees.

PA plates another, and Patrick Vinson visits the mound. He encouraged his team to have a positive demeanor and have fun. He said he doesn't want to bring in Troutwine to pitch because he wants him for tomorrow's game. Shows you where his head is at.

Hagerstown decides to intentionally walk Link to load the bases with one out, and Detrick makes them pay for it by driving in PA's third run.

Hagerstown is swinging freely. However, they only have two hits to show for it so far. That's not to say they aren't putting the bat on the ball. Hale lined out to left field to end the inning.

Chase Link just hit an absolute bomb to left field -- his third home run of the LLWS -- to give PA a 1-0 lead.
— Zach Piatt (@zachpiatt13) August 23, 2022
Hall triples to the right-field wall to get things going. Vinson now with a chance to drive in the first run of the game.
— Zach Piatt (@zachpiatt13) August 23, 2022
Can confirm: Vinson will pitch for Hagerstown.
— Zach Piatt (@zachpiatt13) August 23, 2022
Thinking ahead, I have to imagine Graham Vinson will be on the mound for Hagerstown. Kaden Hall reached his pitch limit yesterday, and I believe they burned Heath Johnson as well.
— Zach Piatt (@zachpiatt13) August 23, 2022
Am I the only one ESPN is telling that the game hasn't started yet? The LLWS website is saying it will now start at 3:21, but the ESPN schedule is saying it will air at 4:30.
— Zach Piatt (@zachpiatt13) August 23, 2022
Hagerstown is now playing to stay alive in the Little League World Series. One more loss will eliminate them from the tournament. Their first test starts in just under 30 minutes against Pennsylvania. Let's hope for no weather delays this time.
