00:00:00The road team that one's hit very far that one's that one might be in the streets, but a foul ball
00:00:11And alabama will be playing as the home team
00:00:16That one's hit out towards the wall
00:00:20That'll be a stand-up double to get us started here in the first inning
00:00:30That's second over six, Zane Nickas
00:00:42Louisiana Mississippi won earlier today 15 to 10
00:00:46A back and forth contest with Florida, but able to pull that one out in the end 15 runs off 21 hits
00:01:00That one's inside for a ball
00:01:09That one's hit over the second baseman and into the outfield and that will be
00:01:15A early one nothing lead here for Louisiana, Mississippi
00:01:22For alabama they lost to Oklahoma, Kansas 15 to nothing
00:01:30Now they're only able to
00:01:32record six hits in that contest
00:01:35Allowed four runs in each of the first three innings and two in the fourth one in the fifth
00:01:40led to the
00:01:4215 to nothing mercy rule final after only five innings
00:01:47That one's pulled far and gone and that is
00:01:51Not coming back into the palm trees is the only thing that stopped that ball
00:01:56Shot it's now already three nothing here for Louisiana, Mississippi
00:02:13Well, uh under the leg pitch they're trying a little trickery trying to do anything to stop the bleeding already this one
00:02:19Is still incredibly early but already feels like it's starting to kind of get away fast from this alabama squad
00:02:38That one swung on routine fly ball and that'll be the first out of this game
00:02:49Backcourt number
00:03:02Have a brief timeout here managing some equipment behind home plate
00:03:19Oh
00:03:22It's outside for a ball
00:03:26And that will be ball three and take your base there, sir
00:03:30So
00:03:48That one's outside for a ball
00:03:55No one evens the count at one and one
00:04:01Is
00:04:04Swung on ground is a short stop looking for two and that will end the top of the first so after the first three
00:04:09batters
00:04:11lead to three runs the
00:04:13next three end up going down and
00:04:15We add to the bottom half of the first louisiana, mississippi leading three nothings alabama steps to the plate for the first time
00:04:24All our bats are very good I haven't felt a bat as good as the one piece andy purcell
00:04:30Since i've been with slugger. So you're a little bit agreed that that one piece was a game changer
00:04:35100 i've swung a lot of bats over the course of my time in slow pitch and I think
00:04:41Still to this day that black bat holds the number one spot. So today
00:04:46I have a great news because
00:04:48We're going to bring back the one piece baton. It's 240 standard
00:04:52Wow, and we're gonna have the chance to go hit those bats and do some tests. Let's do it
00:05:00So
00:05:02So
00:05:25Welcome back here to the space coast alabama stepping up to the plate for the first time in this game
00:05:32For what's at stake for both teams alabama currently the only winless team in the pool a
00:05:40Florida finished one and one oklahoma. Kansas finished one and one and louisiana. Mississippi is at one and oh, so
00:05:47if louisiana mississippi wins they will be
00:05:50Obviously first in the pool a and they will get the bye to the second round of the winner's bracket
00:05:58And now alabama
00:06:00Obviously it coincides with that if they lose
00:06:08They'll obviously still have at least one more game to play but a challenging road is they will they'll take on virginia
00:06:18At what is scheduled to be the 7 p.m game here at the space coast, but we are a little
00:06:24a little backed up just with
00:06:26The quantity of games that are taking place at all these fields there
00:06:30Typically is bound to be some sort of delay somewhere. Even if it isn't necessarily this specific field that is behind schedule
00:06:39But it'd be the second game here at the space coast stadium
00:06:44Of bracket play
00:06:47If alabama does win that would put all four teams in pool a at
00:06:52one and one and then
00:06:54Obviously gets a little more convoluted when it comes to tiebreakers and stuff. So I don't want to try to do
00:06:59I was not paid to do math today. I was paid to just talk
00:07:04So i'll let the smart people figure out how that would get sorted out
00:07:08This one's hit out it's a left field
00:07:11But caught a few steps before the running track for out number one here in the bottom half of the first inning
00:07:25At second number 77 donta frazier now stepping up is donta frazier
00:07:42That one's just oh
00:07:45not inside the line thought that was gonna be a double down the line, but
00:07:50hopefully umpire said that was foul and
00:07:54We'll have to run it back
00:07:59Let's take another look at this that's
00:08:03Hey, that's that's a tough one to call obviously we don't have a camera right down the you know foul line to get a great angle
00:08:12But that's and obviously the home plate umpire. He's you know
00:08:17he's pretty far away to be able to be right over and even
00:08:20the umpire was right over third base, that'd be a tough one to call but
00:08:24It's called foul and that one is a grounder to the shortstop. Nice stretch over at first and that's out number two
00:08:32The bottom half of the first
00:08:50First pitch
00:08:54The home plate umpire was calling time so pitch is not recorded
00:08:59Now the first pitch swung on looks like this one's gonna carry foul
00:09:06There is a little bit of wind
00:09:08going from east to west here at the stadium decent amount of movement of the flags out in the outfield, but
00:09:18That one probably didn't one was probably going foul anyways
00:09:24So
00:09:28That one's pulled
00:09:29Into the gap, but if you're able to cut it off
00:09:32But it will be a single and alabama will get their first base runner of the game
00:09:49Michael gray hair
00:09:54Gee
00:09:57First pitch hits the plate
00:10:03Michael rainer
00:10:16That will be a ball and a walk
00:10:19it's now alabama has
00:10:21First and second with two down and a chance to tie this one up with
00:10:30Number zero up at the plate
00:10:52Come on
00:10:56No one hits the strike zone and counts even at one and one
00:11:02No one swung on gets past the infielder is going to go all the way to center field that's going to bring one run across
00:11:07so alabama
00:11:09After being shut out earlier today already gets one across here in the bottom half of the first inning and now
00:11:16the tying run is on first base and
00:11:19The go-ahead run is stepping up to the plate
00:11:28That game was also at
00:11:308 a.m. This morning. So maybe they're uh, maybe there's not morning people
00:11:34first pitch swinging swung
00:11:37Goes out to the center field and that will conclude the bottom of the first
00:11:41But alabama does get one run across as louisiana. Mississippi leads three to one at the end of one
00:11:48Yeah
00:12:18So
00:12:48So
00:13:02Welcome back to viera florida
00:13:06and the space coast complex
00:13:08Top of the second here louisiana. Mississippi leading three to one
00:13:14First pitch swinging first pitch foul
00:13:19A loud thud into those metal bleachers way way out beyond third base
00:13:30That one's outside evens the count one and one
00:13:36That one swung on
00:13:38Trying to find a gap
00:13:40And the left fielder able to corral it. I'll be out number one here in the top half of the second
00:13:49Oh
00:13:55So bring up edmund cheatham to the plate
00:14:19No one swung on
00:14:22Long high five ball, but
00:14:26Easy out number two
00:14:48So
00:15:03Pitches on the way pulled over a leaping second baseman, but not quite got the hops in them to
00:15:10Grab that one and that'll be a two out single
00:15:13All right, you've been to the head to right field that brings up number one
00:15:17Brandon leblanc
00:15:23So bring up the 10 hitter brandon leblanc
00:15:33First pitch
00:15:36A little bit a little bit of shenanigans pulled by the pitcher trying to fake out the hitter did a couple fake throws
00:15:48So
00:15:50That one's in there for a strike
00:15:54Counts now two and one
00:16:03Grounder over to the shortstop and the fourth play
00:16:07Second will end the top of the second inning
00:16:10After three runs in the first no runs in the top half of the second alabama coming up to the plate next trailing by two

00:17:06Welcome back to viera florida here the usssa space coast complex
00:17:12Head to the bottom half of the second inning alabama trailing three to one
00:17:19Already faring off much better in this action than they did this morning
00:17:24they were trailing four nothing and then eight nothing and
00:17:27What ended up being a 15 to nothing defeat?
00:17:31So already off to a better start here
00:17:35For louisiana mississippi they had
00:17:37A
00:17:39Back and forth contest with florida ended up prevailing 15 to 10. So
00:17:45there he had a
00:17:47Similar ish start as they did earlier today
00:17:52Oh
00:18:03First pitch swinging grounder over to the short stop gonna be a tough play nice
00:18:09Bend in and out at first base a great play all around
00:18:14nice
00:18:16Nice stretch there by the first baseman to
00:18:19To crowd that one
00:18:27Good thing he does his yoga
00:18:31That one swung on and that one is not coming back that one is very gone and that is
00:18:38Now a three to two ball game here
00:18:43High fives all around and a little too sweet
00:18:48Is
00:18:59That one's pulled down the line in the hot corner unable to corral that one and he's thinking too
00:19:04That'll be a stand-up double
00:19:06One out here in the bottom half of the second tying run now in scoring position for alabama
00:19:18Oh
00:19:32That one swung on it's gonna hit the gap in between right center
00:19:36that's gonna tie the game up and
00:19:39gonna stay at second base, but
00:19:42Alabama is tied this one up three to three here in the bottom half of the second
00:19:47The
00:19:49Is alabama squad off to a great start here offensively
00:19:54Rocking their crimson the tide are turning
00:20:06First pitch on the way
00:20:08This is it
00:20:11Doesn't quite
00:20:13Get where it needs to go
00:20:15That one swung on it's gonna be a tough play for the right fielder sliding unable to catch it though
00:20:21that's gonna be a double and they're gonna the delayed send for the runner and
00:20:26Alabama has its first lead of the day leading four to three here in the bottom half of the second inning
00:20:32great heads up base running to
00:20:35Be ready to go and then once
00:20:39They decide to throw it over the second
00:20:41Able to just take off and go home
00:20:44Just a little bit too far for that sliding attempt and when it bounced away
00:20:51Got on the horses and
00:20:53Got the lead this one. Oh just off the glove of the short stop
00:20:58They're gonna they're gonna send the runner home and it's now a 5-3 ball game for alabama here in the bottom half of the second
00:21:04So
00:21:07A four-run ending already
00:21:09for alabama
00:21:11and still only one down so plenty of
00:21:15Plenty of time to get more on the board
00:21:19and add some insurance runs and
00:21:22The way this louisiana mississippi team played earlier today. That's another base hit
00:21:28You want to try to get as many runs as possible because this offense is very potent so you want to try to
00:21:34Put a little bit of breathing room at least
00:21:36some extent relax
00:22:04One
00:22:11That one's in there for a strike
00:22:18And that's another base hit right up the middle
00:22:22See if they they decide to hold the runner at third. So the bases are juice
00:22:28Ducks all over the pond and I ain't talking organ
00:22:31Sit back
00:22:33So base is loaded one down
00:22:36And already a two-run lead for alabama
00:22:50That one's outside for ball one
00:22:52Um
00:22:56That one's pull is it gonna drop in just in front of left field
00:22:59They're gonna try to score two runs off of this
00:23:02And it will be a two rbi single
00:23:05Now seven to three ball game for alabama a six-run ending and still only one out
00:23:15After the way the games went this morning, this is not not what I expected to see but alabama is pouring it on
00:23:23and they're gonna try to add a little chaos to this pool and have everybody tied at one to one and
00:23:29we're actually gonna get an out mouth is just to try to
00:23:32chance to catch the breath
00:23:35It's not the uh, it's not what they're expecting either
00:23:40Try to
00:23:41get everybody together and
00:23:43Just everyone. Hey guys, take a breath. Let's try to get you know, slow some things down and
00:23:49Then do some work on the offensive side because this one
00:23:52obviously four runs
00:23:54not a largely by any stretch in
00:23:57the imagination, but
00:23:59I want to try to keep it as short as possible make make the job easier on the other side of the ball
00:24:04Do something
00:24:22That one's a little short for ball one
00:24:29Two balls now
00:24:34Strike and that was strike one the payoff pitch
00:24:42Inside for ball three and that will now load the bases once again
00:24:48So
00:25:03First pitch not quite there be ball one
00:25:10That one's pulled up the middle great sliding play by the second baseman and
00:25:15A double play to get them out of the second inning what an amazing play by the second baseman up there in the middle
00:25:23able to
00:25:24Watch the ball go past the runner keep their eyes on it slide grab it
00:25:29Get up quickly runner the second and throw a dime over the first base just in time
00:25:36And what could have been
00:25:38even more
00:25:40Of damage it's a sixth run bottom half of the second for alabama as they lead seven to three heading to the third inning
00:26:10So
00:26:40So
00:26:49Welcome back to viera florida after an outstanding bottom half of the second inning for alabama
00:26:57They leave seven to three
00:26:59let's we head to the top of the third and
00:27:02a little bit of work to be done for
00:27:06Louisiana mississippi leading off is the last hitter in their lineup
00:27:12Shane stratton
00:27:18That one's inside for a ball
00:27:25And that will be ball three
00:27:32Nice catch there by zane
00:27:35miguez on the the bat toss
00:27:39It'll bring us to the top of the order
00:27:42Is kyle pearson?
00:27:45Runner on first nobody down
00:27:59Not quite deep enough that'll be ball one
00:28:06And that one's hammered out to left field the only question is if it's his fair or foul
00:28:14And it's ruled a foul ball
00:28:35The 1-1 pitch
00:28:37And pearson turns on another one and this one is also not coming back, but this one is also fair and that's a two-run shot
00:28:46For nate pearson that cuts the deficit in half now down to a two-run ball game
00:28:53And that's
00:28:55That's the the dangerous part of this lineup is you know that no lead feels safe with with these guys on the other side
00:29:06So
00:29:08The under the leg pitch
00:29:11Goes for a ball
00:29:17That was in there for a strike he was the count at one and one
00:29:25And that one's pulled it's going but doesn't appear to be far enough for a home run and
00:29:31Not corralled either. So that will be a double
00:29:34I thought that that one was caught at first but unable to complete the sliding catch
00:29:42Didn't complete the process of the catch
00:29:48So now the tying run will be at the plate
00:29:53And henry campbell
00:29:56who
00:29:58Hit a home run in the first inning which at the time gave
00:30:04The team a three nothing lead since then
00:30:07was
00:30:09Seven unanswered runs obviously two now responded by again
00:30:15Louisiana mississippi
00:30:18This one's grounder of a short stop but bobbled
00:30:21And everyone's going to be safe and now runners at the corners and nobody down in the go-ahead run
00:30:26Stepping up to the plate and randy frederick
00:30:28Back
00:30:32It's been some tough plays but plays that i'm sure
00:30:36this
00:30:37Alabama team defensively would say that they should have made
00:30:40What could be two outs is now nobody out
00:30:46And a golden opportunity for some heavy damage here for louisiana mississippi
00:30:59All right
00:31:01That one's in there for a strike
00:31:05That one's fly ball out to left field looks like it's gonna drop in and it does and that's gonna get
00:31:10At least one run across thinking two
00:31:15And a throw
00:31:16Near the pitching circle allows the runner to go to second. So now second and third and a one run ball game
00:31:24And that'll bring up james ratchel to the plate with the chance to
00:31:30Tie it and give give those guys the lead
00:31:42First pitch in for a ball
00:31:47That'll be ball two
00:31:53Oh
00:31:59That one's a strike night batter didn't quite agree with that one but
00:32:05full count nonetheless the payoff pitch
00:32:09Is inside for ball three and that will load the bases for anthony frederick
00:32:20Frederick with a chance
00:32:24To give his guys the lead but also now a force out at any base
00:32:33And that's in for a ball
00:32:41And it's outside for ball two one more ball and we got a tie ball game
00:32:47Oh and that's in there for a strike and once again, we got a full count the payoff pitch coming up next
00:32:54so
00:32:56That one swung on it's gonna go into the outfield a long run for the left fielder and it's landing foul
00:33:03And that's going to be out number one a big first out in this top half
00:33:09Oh so close to being
00:33:12a
00:33:13lead changing play
00:33:16But instead out number one here in the top half of the third and that passes the baton
00:33:20To mossy muller, I can't see there's one down and I can't see the bases full
00:33:35See some conversations going on some pleasantries being exchanged
00:33:50That one swung on a liner out but pulled foul
00:34:11That one's inside for ball one count even one and one
00:34:16And that one's pulled over the infielders and that's going to tie the ball game and it's going to give louisiana mississippi the 8-7 lead
00:34:24off of the bat of mossy muller the two rbi singles now eight to seven
00:34:30And still plenty of opportunities to now
00:34:34extend the lead
00:34:36That brings up edmund cheatham
00:34:39Cheatham
00:34:41This one's great you just see all that open
00:34:44I was gonna say grass but turf actually but a lot of open space there and just put the ball where they're where they ain't and
00:34:52easy two runs
00:34:54This one swung on it's trailing towards the gap in right center. It's out of the reach of the center fielder
00:34:59Able to grab it and they're gonna try to get two runs here and they're gonna try to get a triple out of it
00:35:04It'll be a two rbi triple for cheatham
00:35:07It's now 10 to 7 for louisiana, mississippi
00:35:10They responded after the six runs in the bottom of the second with their own seven run
00:35:17heading and they're still
00:35:19Just one out and a runner on third with kevin smith stepping up to the plate
00:35:37It's
00:35:43And that one's pulled over to the right field
00:35:45Right field makes a couple steps to his left does get the catch, but that will bring a run home and that's now
00:35:5011 to 7 here in the top half of the third
00:35:53So
00:36:04Now coming to the play is brandon leblanc and
00:36:07That means every batter
00:36:09For this team will have gotten a chance to step to the plate in this half inning
00:36:14this one's hit a high a long trail back towards the track and
00:36:19into the wall, but the catch is made and that will
00:36:23Finally bring it in to the top of the third, but louisiana mississippi puts up an eight piece
00:36:30An eight ball an eight spot
00:36:34Nice catch here on left field, but the damage has been done
00:36:38And louisiana mississippi they lead 11 to 7 as we head to the bottom half of the third
00:36:52So
00:37:22So
00:37:39There's something about a kid's imagination
00:37:44Something out of this world something almost
00:37:49unreal
00:37:50And once it takes the lead from make-believe to make it happen
00:37:55Anything is possible kennedy space center visitor complex discover something real
00:38:03The sun is starting to set over the flags out there and left center field a little bit of a breeze but
00:38:12Nonetheless a beautiful day here in the space coast, uh
00:38:16It could be a good day to go to the beach good day to do a little
00:38:20Little jogging but an even better day to watch them
00:38:24slow pitch softball and
00:38:26alabama now looking to
00:38:28Have a response again
00:38:31As this first pitch swinging out to center field
00:38:34First pitch leads to an out
00:38:45Reminder that after this we will start the bracket play of the challenge cup
00:38:59This will be the conclusion of pull a is that one is yanked to the left
00:39:06And way beyond the seats but way foul number 21 justin lutheran
00:39:13Easy strike one
00:39:16That one pulled just in front of the left fielder and that will be a base hit one aboard with one down
00:39:35So we already know in the next game that canada east will be playing they'll be playing second place out of
00:39:40Pool b is that one's yanked to the third baseman throwing the second able to able to get out at one or one down
00:39:49But unable to turn it for two so still running on first but now two outs
00:39:57Over on the red marucci field canada west is playing arkansas
00:40:02In the final game of pool b
00:40:10And
00:40:12Over on that field is six to six in the top of the seven. So a lot of
00:40:17a lot of drama over there to the side who will be
00:40:21In what seating and then obviously for pool b the side who gets that?
00:40:25by to the second round so a lot of drama over there and that will
00:40:29help determine who
00:40:31Will be in our next contest but over here
00:40:35We got a walk and now first and second with
00:40:38Landon pritchett two down
00:40:55That one's in there for a strike to land in pritchett
00:41:02And that one's pulled but looks like there's gonna be enough space a long run for the second baseman and
00:41:07Tries the basket catch it, but it falls
00:41:11But it is a foul ball and because there was already one strike that is still the end of the ending so he was
00:41:18They're gonna say he was in foul territory when he tried to catch it. So it does not
00:41:22Affect the outcome of the play. So that will conclude the bottom of the third
00:41:27Louisiana mississippi leads 11 to 7
00:41:36So
00:42:07You
00:42:11All our bats are very good
00:42:12I haven't felt a bat as good as the one piece andy purcell since i've been with slugger
00:42:18So you a little bit agreed that that's one piece was a game changer
00:42:22100 i've swung a lot of bats over the course of my time in slow pitch and I think
00:42:27Still to this day that black bat holds the number one spot. So today
00:42:32I have a great news because
00:42:34We're gonna bring him back the one piece baton is
00:42:37240 standard wow, and we're gonna have the chance to go hit those bats and do some tests. Let's do it
00:42:50Welcome back to the space coast and it is deja vu all over again with shane stratton leaned off the inning again
00:42:56as he did
00:42:58in the third and that led to eight runs, so
00:43:00I'm sure he wouldn't mind leaning off every inning. Does that be a good sign for the louisiana mississippi folks?
00:43:13A little behind the back pitch looked cool, but not quite as effective as he would have liked
00:43:20That one swung on looks like to be an easy routine out and that will be out number one
00:43:26It's not
00:43:28It's not not repeating history as they did in the last inning
00:43:37Now sitting to the plate is the always dangerous kyle pearson although
00:43:41It doesn't feel quite as dramatic without any action on the base. You almost feel like a solo home run is
00:43:46a break
00:43:53First pitch the pearson
00:43:54and that one is
00:43:56Clobbered it's that one's not gonna land for a while
00:44:11It's always wonderful to watch kyle pearson back because it feels like a home run derby competition whenever he's at the plate with himself
00:44:20Wow
00:44:2412 to 7 now for louisiana, mississippi
00:44:31That one swung on trailing towards right center it's over the center fielder's head and it's over the wall for a ground rule double
00:44:38And it goes over to wolfenstein
00:44:41on a house round rule double
00:44:44Yes
00:44:47Number four sam campbell now coming up is henry campbell who already homered earlier today
00:45:01Henry cam also had two home runs in the game earlier today against florida. So already
00:45:07already three home runs combined and
00:45:10He's gonna try to make this one number four it is back back back and it is gone a
00:45:16double dose of two two home run games
00:45:19a two-run shot
00:45:21and that makes this
00:45:24a 14 the seven contest
00:45:32This one's just
00:45:34pulled and
00:45:35Launched and this one never even had a chance of being caught by anyone other than maybe the birds hanging out in the trees
00:45:47Pitch is in there for a strike to randy frederick
00:45:56Pitch is outside
00:45:59This one is playable for the left fielder and that'll be out number two
00:46:05um
00:46:14Now stepping up is the five hitter james rachel
00:46:25Nobody on board two down
00:46:29That one's hit the other way but foul
00:46:32Foul
00:46:34See some kiddos trying to
00:46:38Get a souvenir we got a race going on now. Oh, it's going down the stairs now
00:46:45Ah, it looks like kid in blue is gonna win
00:46:49Congrats to that young feller
00:46:52Hey
00:46:57Now it's swung on
00:46:58and
00:46:59a misplay by the left fielder came in
00:47:01Initially and had the run back and it goes all the way to the wall and that's going to be a stand-up triple
00:47:06With two down here in the fourth
00:47:12Looked like it was going to be just an easy fly ball, but
00:47:17A slight misread misplay
00:47:20And it leads to a triple and now another scoring opportunity for louisiana mississippi
00:47:36No one's grounded over to the second baseman
00:47:39That'll be out number three in this inning
00:47:41But louisiana mississippi does tackle in three runs and now has a touchdown lead as we head to the bottom of the fourth
00:47:50Yes, the all blacks, uh all black genesis one piece was my signature bat when I first came back
00:47:55Um, that was just quite amazing up until present. The bats have just been top-notch
00:48:00They've been just at the top of the game
00:48:02We brought back that one piece genesis and it was like a light switch went off night and day
00:48:06It just it was such an amazing bat. Everybody jumped back on to Louisville Slugger knowing that the product they were getting
00:48:12We're just going to be amazing. And uh, that was the start of what we have now, which is just
00:48:17unreal bats
00:48:19So
00:48:50Oh
00:48:53The birds want to get an up-close angle here at the space coast
00:48:57I don't blame them. There's been quite the uh, quite the game so far and
00:49:01I'm sure we got a whole lot more coming up
00:49:05And this is before we even get into bracket play. We've already seen some exciting action here
00:49:11Just another reminder that bracket play will start at the conclusion of this game
00:49:16We already know Canada East will be playing in said contest still waiting to see
00:49:24How things unfold over at the Red Maroochee field that will conclude pool B
00:49:32They're currently tied in extra innings so they
00:49:37Have uh, as they would say, you know free softball over there
00:49:42First pitch grounder
00:49:44Is not able to get enough juice on that throw and it'll be a infield single to get things started here in the bottom
00:49:50half of the fourth inning
00:49:57Let's take another look at this it goes
00:49:59underneath one field and then the other one's kind of
00:50:02unable to get his feet planted and just
00:50:05not enough
00:50:06power on that throw to get
00:50:08get the runner out at first, so
00:50:11We off run our board for Alabama and
00:50:16Not even necessarily a chance to I mean obviously they'd love to tie it up but at least try to respond
00:50:20But that looks like it's going to be two not able
00:50:24To get the turn and it'll just be one out
00:50:28the fielder's choice
00:50:33Looked like a
00:50:34Brief shrug on both sides the initial throw and then trying to get the glove out of the ball to turn for the double play
00:50:49That one swung on but will be well foul in the right field area
00:51:05And
00:51:07One swung on
00:51:08Gonna be a hard charge by the center fielder and a nice play to read and grab that one
00:51:14and now two down here in the
00:51:16bottom half of the fourth
00:51:26Hey
00:51:34Hey
00:51:45Good
00:52:05That'll be a walk that'll put runners at first and second here with two down
00:52:23First pitch on the way that one's pulled into the gap looks like it's gonna drop in and that's gonna hit the wall
00:52:30One run release score. There'll be a double
00:52:33And now second and third
00:52:37And the deficits down the six
00:52:41They got the extra point now just need the touchdown in reverse order
00:52:59First pitch the rainier
00:53:01Inside for a ball
00:53:07This one's hit very high give enough time for the left fielder to get under it
00:53:12That'll be out number three and that will conclude the fourth inning
00:53:15So alabama does get one run on the board, but still trail by six down 14 to 8 as we head to the fifth inning
00:53:31So
00:54:01So
00:54:26A little bit of breeze showing out here over the
00:54:29Beyond the first base foul territory flags
00:54:38Louisiana mississippi leading by six as they head to the top of the fifth
00:54:47Malsi Mueller will be up at the plate
00:54:52And first pitch swinging
00:54:55easy single and
00:54:57Thinking too, but thinks better of it and decides to just
00:55:01Stick to the one base and pass it over to the next guy
00:55:06Edmund Cheatham will be up at the plate
00:55:09Had a two rbi triple last time
00:55:17Can't quite repeat the two are well
00:55:19actually could repeat the two rbi if he hits it over so still a chance to somewhat repeat what he did previously, but
00:55:25I need to get over the wall to do said
00:55:31Under the leg pitch
00:55:35A little creativity
00:55:48That one's just out of the reach of the shortstop and that'll be
00:55:51The first and third it appears. Yep, first and third
00:55:59With nobody down
00:56:07Come on
00:56:22First pitch in for a ball now 2-0 count
00:56:37It was a grounder over to the first baseman knocks it down but unable to grab it
00:56:41Do get the force play at second, but only able to get one out and a run does score
00:56:52So
00:57:05Nice job by the first baseman to
00:57:09Originally, obviously he was thinking about getting two but even with the wall getting away still able to get one out
00:57:15So at least try to limit some of the damage
00:57:17Keep alabama's hopes
00:57:28This one's hit high but playable for the right fielder that'll be out number two
00:57:47Um
00:58:10Pitch is short for ball one
00:58:17So
00:58:21That's a strike
00:58:30That one's slapped over to the other side and that will be a base hit
00:58:35Runners now at first and second with two down here in the fifth
00:58:39And
00:58:46This is uh, probably the last guy alabama wants to see at the play right now with nate pearson
00:58:51almost wonder if they would
00:58:54I don't even want to say intentionally walk, but maybe just pitch around even though that would load the bases, but
00:59:01Pretty much anything that he makes contact with is probably gonna be a home run. That's
00:59:06that's the type of power that this this guy possesses and
00:59:10They do decide just go with the intentional walk and that will load the bases for
00:59:17Zane miguez
00:59:22So we'll see if the strategy uh pays off to
00:59:26Decide to load the bases
00:59:28Definitely a risky play but understandable if you're alabama
00:59:32Um
00:59:39Pitch is in for a strike
00:59:43All right, this one's hit it's it's far it's going it's going and the intentional walk does not pay off as that hits
00:59:50off of the scoreboard
00:59:52That is a grand slam
00:59:54it's now an 11 run game for louisiana mississippi and
01:00:00I thought for a moment the way the left fielder was tracking it that he might have a chance
01:00:04But this just kept carrying and carrying and carrying and hit
01:00:08Probably about where it says crown awards off of the scoreboard
01:00:11And this one's yanked down the right field for a base hit
01:00:17And this
01:00:18This is starting to get a bit out of a reach
01:00:21You don't ever want to say a game is over but double digits is a lot to ask for for coming back
01:00:30It looks like it but that's the paint
01:00:55First pitch
01:00:57Going very foul
01:01:18No one's in for a ball
01:01:21So
01:01:27This one's yanked in the gap in left center
01:01:29The fielder is able to cut it off, but it's still going to be a double
01:01:32They're going to send the runner home and try to make it
01:01:3520 runs
01:01:37And the seven put up this inning. It's 20 to eight louisiana, mississippi and
01:01:44They uh
01:01:45Despite trailing at 1.7 to 3 they have responded now the 17 the one run
01:02:02This one's a grounder to third baseman and just beats the throw he's safe at first
01:02:09Safe at first
01:02:15That was a bang bang play a great play on
01:02:19Both sides great stop here by the third baseman
01:02:23and
01:02:24a good attempt by the first baseman there to try to
01:02:28Stretch out just enough to get it but unable to and now
01:02:32Now
01:02:37A chance to continue adding runs here
01:02:52This one swung on
01:02:55But launched foul
01:02:58Now a chance with one more strike to get out of the inning
01:03:02finally for alabama
01:03:10This one's hit highly looks like should be caught by the short stop
01:03:15And that will bring an end to the top of the fifth inning but not before louisiana, mississippi
01:03:20Attacks on six runs and now leads by 12 as we head to the bottom half of the fifth inning
01:03:32So
01:04:02So
01:04:33So
01:04:42Welcome back to viera florida. You see
01:04:45Canada east hanging out over there. They we saw them in the previous game
01:04:48they'll be playing in our next contest when we get set up into bracket play and they'll be
01:04:54They'll be taking on a uh familiar foe. That's canada west. We got an all canada matchup coming up in our first
01:05:02Bracket play here at the spaceco stadium that action will come up
01:05:06once this game concludes here between louisiana, mississippi and
01:05:11alabama
01:05:12we got a
01:05:15North of the border action coming up
01:05:18Should be exciting but i'm still gonna finish this one first and
01:05:26Waiting on a pitcher to come back
01:05:29There he is, uh
01:05:42It's a lot of equipment he's got to put on so understandable why it takes a little extra time to
01:05:46Get prepared between these half innings, but we are finally set to start the bottom half of the fifth inning and
01:05:53A lot of ground to make up for alabama first pitch swinging
01:05:56Nobody's at first after the diving attempt by the first baseman and that will be an infield single
01:06:09Man i've been the prettiest of ways but got a runner on base and for alabama. That's that's what they need they need
01:06:16As much
01:06:17As much base running
01:06:19As they could possibly get whether it be home runs singles walks airs, whatever it might be. They
01:06:25They just need bodies on the bases right now
01:06:28That one's hit out to left field appears to be playable and that will be out number one here in the bottom of the fifth
01:06:34That's out
01:06:45This is the last game being played right now in pool play this will finalize the
01:06:53Bracket
01:06:55This one's hit very high
01:06:58Not sure if it's going to be playable and it will go into the stands and
01:07:02well, actually we'll come back into the field to play but
01:07:05a foul ball
01:07:12So it would appear that if this holds which it is a 12 run lead so
01:07:19The odds would say that louisiana mississippi should win
01:07:25They will be the
01:07:27First place finisher in pool a and get a bye all the way till tomorrow. They can go home and they will be playing at
01:07:348 a.m. Tomorrow morning
01:07:37You can uh
01:07:39That's out there number two, you can wake up have some
01:07:43some breakfast a cup of coffee and
01:07:46Watch louisiana mississippi start their journey in the playoffs
01:07:51And
01:07:53For alabama
01:07:55They'll be playing later tonight in what's scheduled to be the 7 p.m. Game taking on virginia
01:08:02That'll be the second game in the at this stadium in bracket play
01:08:11This one's hit out to the left field area short stop tries to make the catch unable to corral it and
01:08:20Looks like he
01:08:23Hurt himself trying to
01:08:25Got injured trying to slide and catch that one. Uh
01:08:30hope
01:08:31hope for the best hope it's
01:08:35Just uh
01:08:37A minor inconvenience, but we're uh, we're gonna step aside for a moment
01:08:40Wait for this to clear up and we'll be back in a moment
01:08:43Welcome to smash it sports your destination for premier baseball and softball gear, but smash it sports
01:08:51We're not just selling equipment

01:09:08Who trust smash it sports for quality performance and exceptional service
01:09:15So he was able to get up and walk it off, but you can tell he's uh got quite a limp going on, uh
01:09:23I'm not gonna speculate on what body part he injured, but obviously not feeling great. They
01:09:28wait to see if he's gonna try to tough it out or if they're gonna
01:09:32move some pieces around and
01:09:34Let him recover, but that one
01:09:37That one looked like it didn't feel great and he
01:09:40probably a little sore tomorrow when he wakes up too because
01:09:45There is padding there, but it's not a lot it's not thick and you run at it full speed
01:09:52You know, it's gonna hurt nonetheless
01:09:57So give him a chance to kind of get right back in position
01:10:03And
01:10:04There's two down here in the bottom of the fifth one strike
01:10:09So
01:10:31Pitches on the way, they'll be inside for a ball
01:10:38Hey
01:10:40That one swung on high
01:10:44Looks like the left fielder unable to corral it and
01:10:49that one falls in for
01:10:51base hit
01:10:53Looked like at first they wanted the shortstop to get it. But I mean he just had a
01:10:59a little bit of a hit against the wall
01:11:01so the left fielder tried to run in and just unable to
01:11:05Get there in time and now runners at the corners with two down here in the fifth
01:11:11And
01:11:12still a chance for alabama to
01:11:16Slowly but surely get their way back into this one
01:11:19So
01:11:33This one swung on looks to be playable to the right fielder
01:11:38And that'll be at number three here in the bottom half of the fifth so we head to the sixth inning
01:11:44Louisiana, Mississippi up big
01:11:49So
01:12:08Conclusion of the game louisiana, mississippi lead winning, uh 20 to 8
01:12:16this will
01:12:18Get us the that's the conclusion of full play across all the pools and get us into bracket play
01:12:25for louisiana, mississippi, they get to go to bed and
01:12:29Come back tomorrow morning as they have the bye. They'll play 8 a.m
01:12:33against the winner of our game coming up next canada west versus canada east so
01:12:41Coming up next that's what we'll see we have our first bracket play of the challenge cup
01:12:47So for a quick intermission we say so long and we hope to see you back for a north of the border matchup
01:13:17So
01:13:47Foreign
01:14:17So
01:14:47So
