Top Play Tonight

If you just missed it you have to watch Sportscenter tonight, it will be the top play of the day:

Bottom of the 6th, a runner on, two outs, the chubby hitter steps to the plate already striking out twice earlier in the game but looking to win the game. The pitcher, who the announcer called "Armando Benitez," throws nothing but fastballs. The coach tells the chubby hitter to look fastball, he does, the pitcher throws a fastball on the next pitch, he hits it deep centerfield, it has the distance, it has the carry, the centerfielder watches and waits at the wall, he leaps and MAKES THE CATCH! I jumped up from my couch and almost shed a tear for they little centerfielder the call "Rabbit." It was incredible. The Mass team beat the Ohio team 3-2.

Watch for it tonight. It was what Little League is all about.
