#Alfred delia little league series
Phillies: RHP Vince Velasquez (8-9, 4.13) faces Nationals RHP Tanner Roark on Tuesday night to open a three-game series at Washington.I haven’t watched any of the action leading up to this year’s Little League World Series, but I’m sure it has been and will continue to be loaded with plenty of slick grabs and big hits. Mets: RHP Zack Wheeler (8-6, 3.75 ERA) opposes San Francisco LHP Derek Holland (6-8, 3.83) on Monday night in New York. Phillies: RHP Jerad Eickhoff (right lat) allowed one run and three hits in 4 2/3 innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. … OF Jay Bruce (left hip) went 2 for 5 as the DH for St. Lucie while playing five innings in the field. … 3B David Wright (shoulder, back) ended an 0-for-14 rehab skid by going 2 for 3 for Class A St. Mets: Brandon Nimmo (left index finger) was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game. “And that one kid who’s never been here before, you want to show them the right way to play and how exciting it is and how great it is.”Ĭommissioner Rob Manfred announced the Cubs will face the Pirates in next year’s Williamsport game on Aug. I think that’s pretty cool,” Frazier said. “Some of them are stepping into America for the first time ever and they get to see a Major League Baseball game.

The Little League teams were introduced, in full uniform, before the game. Rosario had a two-run single in the second, chased Pivetta with a single in the fourth and added a sixth-inning RBI single. Santana followed with his 18th homer, and Vargas was lifted after allowing two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. Hoskins narrowly missed homering with a long foul in the third and a single off the wall in the sixth against Vargas, who entered with an 8.10 ERA. “We share a common love, hitting dingers,” Hoskins said.
Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins chased down Little Leaguer and internet sensation Alfred “Big Al” Delia. Santana took selfies with the youngsters. While watching the kids play, Mets ace Jacob deGrom interviewed some for TV. “We were driving through the city and people were coming out of their homes and waving to us,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said. They were met by youth players at the airport, then bused to the Little League complex. The teams flew 185 miles Sunday morning from Philadelphia, where the first four games were played. The Mets built a 6-0 lead in the fourth to take the five-game series and improve to 8-5 against the Phillies, who dropped a half-game behind division-leading Atlanta. Just like the 11 and 12 year olds gathered in Williamsport, the Mets and Phillies lined up for postgame handshakes. “That’s crazy, because I remember when I was sitting in that dugout.” “Pretty surreal because I walked into the dugout and they were getting ready to play a game and one of them was like, ‘Whoa, that’s Scott Kingery!”‘ said the rookie infielder, who doubled in the fifth. The spotlight shined on New York’s Todd Frazier and Michael Conforto and Philadelphia’s Scott Kingery, who are among 54 players who reached the majors after playing in the LLWS. Players and families from the 16 teams competing in the nearby LLWS packed into 2,500-seat Bowman Field, the 92-year-old home of the Phillies’ Class A affiliate in the New York-Penn League. Jeff McNeil added a two-run single to back Jason Vargas (3-8) as the Mets claimed the second Little League Classic and prevented the Phillies from moving into first place in the NL East.Ĭarlos Santana hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, but Nick Pivetta (7-10) allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings in Philadelphia’s seventh loss in 11 games. Amed Rosario had three hits and drove in three runs, and the New York Mets went from cheering on players in the Little League World Series to impressing the youngsters in an 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night.
