00:18:13 - We welcome you to Kansas City,
00:18:26 where today it is the first game
00:18:28 of the World Fast Pitch Championship,
00:18:30 starting with 16U.
00:18:32 It is Moho Lewis against Nebraska Gold, 15U.
00:18:36 The start of some very good softball
00:18:38 here on this Friday afternoon.
00:18:40 We are underway, and the first pitch
00:18:42 is spun in for a strike, moves it nothing and one.
00:18:45 I'm Ryan Urquhart, alongside our wonderful
00:18:47 USSSA Live crew, our producer Alex,
00:18:49 and everybody helping put the show on today.
00:18:52 Moho Lewis is acting as the away team today.
00:18:55 We'll take you down their lineup as we go,
00:18:57 as this is a strike, moves it oh and two.
00:19:00 For Moho Lewis, leading off, it's Haley Bailey,
00:19:05 the second baseman.
00:19:07 Audrey Cathery is the third baseman, batting second,
00:19:09 with Avery Stockwell, the catcher, batting third.
00:19:12 Misses low, one and two.
00:19:14 Kenley Pitts, the first baseman,
00:19:16 doing the cleanup duties.
00:19:18 Kenzie Erringdale plays short in that fifth.
00:19:20 Mavon Torres is the center fielder, batting sixth.
00:19:22 Ruben Collins plays left in that seventh,
00:19:25 with Kylie Norvell in right, and running at the order,
00:19:28 Hannah Smith, a BP spot, and Slater in the flex spot,
00:19:31 and quickly to work with a strikeout
00:19:33 for the first of the day, for Nebraska Gold.
00:19:35 It's number 99 in the circle.
00:19:38 This is a great pitch, gets her to chase it
00:19:40 on the outer half of the play.
00:19:42 It looks appetizing, but some good east-west movement
00:19:44 to get her to bite on it for the strikeout.
00:19:47 Cuts through that one for a strike.
00:19:51 This is Cathy up to the plate.
00:19:54 (crowd cheering)
00:19:57 Moves O-in, too.
00:20:07 This is a Nebraska Gold 15-U team.
00:20:11 Gretna, Nebraska, is where they're based out of.
00:20:14 They are 8-0 so far
00:20:17 in these World Fast Pitch Championships.
00:20:20 (crowd cheering)
00:20:21 That bends in tight for a ball.
00:20:24 (crowd cheering)
00:20:27 Count is 2-1.
00:20:29 This is a team from Nebraska that has been on a tear.
00:20:33 They have shut out four of their last five opponents
00:20:36 coming in.
00:20:38 That's a dead ball, foul off the instep.
00:20:41 (crowd cheering)
00:20:43 She'll come back for it, count is 2-2.
00:20:46 (crowd cheering)
00:20:48 The only team that has scored a run on it
00:20:50 in their last five were the originals,
00:20:52 and they've gotten a 6-3 victory for this Nebraska Gold team.
00:20:56 2-2.
00:20:57 (crowd cheering)
00:20:58 And she cuts through it, and that's strike three.
00:21:01 So the second strikeout, two up, two down,
00:21:04 and a pair of Ks for the starting pitcher.
00:21:07 (crowd cheering)
00:21:10 Just watch the movement on the drop ball,
00:21:13 absolutely crisp for the second out of the inning.
00:21:16 So two swinging strikeouts to start the day,
00:21:19 and whenever you're in a championship like this,
00:21:21 finding your rhythm early is a pitcher that's paramount.
00:21:24 First offering is fouled off, makes it nothing in one.
00:21:28 (crowd cheering)
00:21:31 Beautiful weather today in Kansas City.
00:21:43 (crowd cheering)
00:21:45 That'll be another strike.
00:21:46 Currently 73 degrees outside.
00:21:49 Communities are about 65, but you cannot ask
00:21:52 for a better softball weather.
00:21:53 It's supposed to get up to only 82 today.
00:21:56 (crowd cheering)
00:21:58 And the pitch comes home.
00:22:00 (crowd cheering)
00:22:01 And that wanders us outside for a ball.
00:22:04 (crowd cheering)
00:22:07 So a one and two count.
00:22:09 Nebraska Gold looking for a one-two-three inning
00:22:13 to start this championship.
00:22:15 (crowd cheering)
00:22:18 Popped it up straight back.
00:22:20 Avery Stockwell, the catcher.
00:22:23 You know, nothing else, just trying to avoid
00:22:25 three strikeouts in a one-two-three inning
00:22:27 would be paramount.
00:22:29 At least try to make some contact,
00:22:31 see if you can find your rhythm early.
00:22:33 (crowd cheering)
00:22:36 Two strike pitch.
00:22:38 That's in the dirt, moves it two and two.
00:22:40 (crowd cheering)
00:22:43 Moho Lewis, based out of Atlanta, Georgia.
00:22:47 This team is heading to scrap their way to the top.
00:22:50 Nine and one in their last 10, though.
00:22:52 Seven and one in this bracket.
00:22:54 (crowd cheering)
00:22:55 Chases it outside, and that's strike three.
00:22:58 (crowd clapping)
00:23:00 Nebraska Gold strikes out the side
00:23:02 to start the 16-year World Fast Pitch Championships,
00:23:05 and they'll be up to the plate when we come back.
00:23:07 (crowd cheering)
00:23:10 Great job, moves it to the outside, east-west.
00:23:15 Elite pitching to start this game,
00:23:18 and now it'll be the offense's turn
00:23:20 when we come back to Kansas City.

00:25:07 Back here in Kansas City, first game of the day,
00:25:09 the 16-year matchup in the World Fast Pitch Championships.
00:25:13 We'll take you down the lineup for Nebraska Gold as we go.
00:25:16 It is Slater into the circle,
00:25:18 who's in the flex spot today for Moho Lewis.
00:25:21 Leaning is off the top of the order for Nebraska Gold.
00:25:27 It is Aniston Trevorrow.
00:25:30 The face is Owen Walker.
00:25:34 Bunce rolls it right back to the circle.
00:25:37 Will it be close?
00:25:38 And they got there.
00:25:40 Great defensive play by Moho Lewis
00:25:42 for the first down of the inning.
00:25:44 These bunt plays, they can be tough to execute.
00:25:47 You have to put it into the perfect spot
00:25:49 and the defense does a great job recognizing it.
00:25:52 It's the pitcher who steps in
00:25:53 and makes that play a great job by Slater,
00:25:56 gets the ball to her first baseman.
00:25:58 They call that PFP in the softball world.
00:26:00 That's Pitcher Fielding Practice.
00:26:02 And she executes it to perfection
00:26:04 for the first down of the inning.
00:26:13 It is Alexis Jensen who steps up.
00:26:17 The starting pitcher for today.
00:26:24 Struck out the side defensively
00:26:28 as this rise ball wanders high.
00:26:31 Her catcher, Mulbach, is on deck.
00:26:41 [crowd cheering]
00:26:44 Just puts the outer edge for a strike
00:26:49 and it's one and two.
00:26:51 Here's the one-two pitch.
00:27:04 Just caught a piece to stay alive
00:27:09 enough to tip it into the glove.
00:27:12 There's great value when you can be a two-way player
00:27:22 both defensively and offensively.
00:27:24 Brings a lot to the table for this Nebraska Gold team.
00:27:28 Down the rest of the order for Nebraska Gold
00:27:33 we mentioned Carly Mulbach is on deck.
00:27:35 CJ Morgan follows her and bats fourth.
00:27:37 Batting fifth, it's Bailey Rupiper,
00:27:40 the first baseman.
00:27:42 Two-two.
00:27:43 [crowd cheering]
00:27:44 Struck her out.
00:27:46 Two up and two down for Nebraska Gold.
00:27:49 What a phenomenal performance in the circle
00:27:53 to start the day for Moho Lewis.
00:27:55 It's a pitcher on pitcher strikeout.
00:27:58 Good movement.
00:27:59 Was expecting something maybe a little lower in the zone
00:28:02 but does a great job blowing it right by her
00:28:04 and gets the first strikeout of the day.
00:28:06 [crowd cheering]
00:28:09 Fouled off.
00:28:11 So we mentioned this is Mulbach.
00:28:13 Great displays of pitching.
00:28:23 CJ Morgan we mentioned, Rupiper bats fifth.
00:28:26 Autumn Bryant is batting sixth and playing third.
00:28:29 Briley Hurd is the left fielder batting seventh.
00:28:32 Batting eighth it is Raina Waller.
00:28:35 A right fielder.
00:28:36 Megan Marshall is the shortstop batting ninth.
00:28:39 Ernie Johnson is the DP batting tenth
00:28:41 and playing right.
00:28:43 Excuse me, is the DP batting tenth.
00:28:46 And Emma Ermer rounds it out in the flex spot.
00:28:49 That's a strike.
00:28:51 [crowd cheering]
00:28:52 Time is one and one.
00:28:54 [crowd cheering]
00:28:58 [crowd cheering]
00:29:01 One-two pitch.
00:29:09 And a pop-up out of play.
00:29:11 [crowd cheering]
00:29:14 So far four combined strikeouts between these pitchers.
00:29:25 The best teams in USA Elite Select
00:29:27 battling for a 16-year championship
00:29:29 here in Kansas City.
00:29:31 [crowd cheering]
00:29:33 Just misses upstairs.
00:29:35 That'll be ball two.
00:29:38 That's great movement by Slater.
00:29:42 Putting that in his spot, it's tough to read.
00:29:45 That's a great job by Mulbach.
00:29:47 He's not buying on it.
00:29:49 Brings up a two-two pitch.
00:29:51 [crowd cheering]
00:29:54 Popped foul back.
00:29:56 Two up and two down as well for Moho Lewis defensively.
00:30:01 Trying to capture a one-two-three inning of their own
00:30:04 to start the World Fast Pitch Championship.
00:30:07 [crowd cheering]
00:30:10 Slater's two-two.
00:30:17 That caught the knob of the bat.
00:30:19 It'll stay alive for another two-two pitch.
00:30:22 [crowd cheering]
00:30:25 You can see here just barely
00:30:31 caught a piece of that bat.
00:30:33 [crowd cheering]
00:30:36 Good eye to lay off of it.
00:30:41 The count is full.
00:30:43 This has been a great at-bat by Carleen Mulbach.
00:30:46 The catcher has been patient at the plate.
00:30:49 You see this pitch.
00:30:52 Chest off the outer black.
00:30:53 That's tough to lay off of for Mulbach.
00:30:56 Does a great job.
00:30:57 You want to protect, but that's a good eye.
00:31:00 [crowd cheering]
00:31:01 Payoff pitch is lined into left field,
00:31:03 and it finds Greengrass.
00:31:05 The first hit of the day is a two-out single
00:31:07 for Carleen Mulbach.
00:31:09 [crowd cheering]
00:31:12 Boy, what a patient at-bat.
00:31:15 If you're a coach, you love to see this
00:31:17 from a player at this age.
00:31:20 Waits for that pitch to hit,
00:31:21 finds one on the inner half, and pulls it.
00:31:23 Doesn't try to do too much.
00:31:24 Makes good contact with the ball.
00:31:26 Finds the space between the shortstop
00:31:28 and the left fielder.
00:31:29 Goes to work.
00:31:30 Does a great job for her team
00:31:31 to get them a two-out base hit.
00:31:34 [crowd cheering]
00:31:37 Pinch runner into the game.
00:31:39 This is Russell, Kaitlin Russell,
00:31:41 who comes in to pinch run.
00:31:43 [crowd cheering]
00:31:47 [crowd cheering]
00:31:50 It's a well-earned trip to the dugout
00:31:52 after the single for Mulbach.
00:31:53 CJ Morgan will try to do something with it.
00:31:56 [crowd cheering]
00:31:58 Just clips the outer black for a strike.
00:32:01 [crowd cheering]
00:32:03 That's exactly the kind of at-bat you expect
00:32:06 in this kind of tournament,
00:32:07 in this kind of environment.
00:32:09 Just gritty and tough,
00:32:11 waiting for that pitch to hit.
00:32:13 [crowd cheering]
00:32:15 Chases the 0-1 high.
00:32:17 Two strikes come up.
00:32:18 [crowd cheering]
00:32:21 Inside, rise ball.
00:32:24 And as much as coaches will preach,
00:32:26 don't swing at the rise ball sometimes.
00:32:28 It just looks so appetizing,
00:32:30 that late movement.
00:32:31 Hard to lay off of.
00:32:32 [crowd cheering]
00:32:34 The rise ball, runner takes off,
00:32:35 and she is safe.
00:32:37 Got around the tag,
00:32:38 and Russell swipes second.
00:32:40 [crowd cheering]
00:32:43 That's good base running by Corley Russell.
00:32:46 That throw was in a pretty good spot by the catcher.
00:32:49 Maybe a little shallow,
00:32:50 but that's right into where she's running.
00:32:52 Just wasn't able to get the glove applied.
00:32:55 Not a bad job by Erringdale.
00:32:57 Good positioning,
00:32:58 just sometimes tough to execute.
00:33:00 [crowd cheering]
00:33:03 Two and two.
00:33:05 So now that puts a runner in scoring position
00:33:07 with two outs in the getting for Morgan.
00:33:10 This is an early opportunity
00:33:12 for a two-out rally.
00:33:15 Get some early offense here
00:33:16 in a championship setting.
00:33:19 Two-two.
00:33:20 [crowd cheering]
00:33:23 Another patient at bat
00:33:24 as this one comes in tight to Morgan.
00:33:27 [crowd cheering]
00:33:30 Nebraska goal trying to take an early lead
00:33:40 with two outs.
00:33:41 The payoff pitch.
00:33:43 And the dirt for ball four.
00:33:44 Two aboard with two gone for Nebraska goal.
00:33:47 [crowd cheering]
00:33:50 Just the patience of both those at bats
00:33:52 in the three and the four spot.
00:33:55 You just love to see that
00:33:56 from what is usually your best hitters
00:33:58 in these spots
00:33:59 in terms of their power ability,
00:34:00 in terms of their ability
00:34:01 to get on base and produce.
00:34:04 You love to see this
00:34:05 from the top half of your order.
00:34:07 That's exactly what they got.
00:34:09 Here's Bailey Rupiper.
00:34:13 First pitch in the first baseman
00:34:14 fouls it off for a strike.
00:34:16 [crowd cheering]
00:34:20 Briley Rupiper.
00:34:23 Trying to make something happen here
00:34:24 with two outs in the getting.
00:34:26 [crowd cheering]
00:34:30 [crowd cheering]
00:34:33 Into the elbows.
00:34:41 Levels the count.
00:34:43 [crowd cheering]
00:34:58 One's in the basement for ball two.
00:35:01 Nebraska goal after going two up,
00:35:13 two down as base runners.
00:35:16 Trying to take advantage.
00:35:19 Now you gotta think protection here
00:35:21 with two strikes.
00:35:22 You wanna take advantage
00:35:23 with runners on base
00:35:24 and getting a runner in scoring position.
00:35:27 Russell is at second.
00:35:29 Morgan is at first.
00:35:31 [crowd cheering]
00:35:34 Slater's two-two.
00:35:37 Softly lined out to short on one hop.
00:35:40 The throw to first is in time
00:35:41 to retire the side six to three.
00:35:44 So after some drama with two outs,
00:35:47 it is Moho Lewis who gets out
00:35:49 of the inning unscathed.
00:35:50 Two left to board,
00:35:51 four Nebraska gold,
00:35:53 and we are scoreless going
00:35:54 to the second here
00:35:55 in the 16-U Championship

00:37:24 and an opportunity for the middle of the order
00:37:26 to bounce back.
00:37:27 Jensen has been stellar.
00:37:29 Alexis Jensen struck out the side
00:37:30 to start the game against one, two, and three,
00:37:33 in a Moho Lewis order.
00:37:35 [crowd cheering]
00:37:38 Fly ball into right.
00:38:02 Up against the line, makes the catch.
00:38:05 And Nebraska Gold secures

00:38:09 [indistinct chatter]
00:38:12 Raina Waller goes over for it.

00:39:30 Two up, two down here in the top of the second.
00:39:34 It was all strikeouts in the first,
00:39:36 but Jensen's really used her defense effectively
00:39:38 here in the top of the second.
00:39:40 A fly out down the right field line
00:39:42 and then a pop up that gets yielded
00:39:44 to Travaro, the center fielder.
00:39:46 And it brings in Milan Torres.
00:39:49 And a lefty cuts through it for the first strike.
00:39:53 [indistinct chatter]
00:40:06 Half swing on it and it fouls back, going two.

00:41:43 City winner's bracket final
00:41:51 of the 16-year World Fast Pitch Championships.
00:41:54 It is Slow Smoho against Gold 15U's Nebraska team.
00:41:59 It's been a good one so far.
00:42:01 Great defense and elite pitching so far
00:42:04 between these two squads.
00:42:06 Nebraska undefeated in this bracket,
00:42:08 trying to keep it that way today
00:42:10 against a, oh, Lewis team
00:42:12 that has fought their way to this point.
00:42:14 It's also looked stellar.
00:42:16 6, 7, and 8 scheduling this inning for Nebraska gold.
00:42:21 Slater was able to escape with two runners on
00:42:23 in the prior inning after picking up a strong hike out.
00:42:27 It was a bit of two-out magic from 3 and 4 in the order,
00:42:30 but the short retired the side.
00:42:32 Autumn Bryant pops one up into left-center field
00:42:44 into a tough spot, and that's down for a base hit.
00:42:47 Second single of the game.
00:42:49 This one comes in a lead-off sense
00:42:51 as the throw to first not in time together.
00:42:54 The third baseman gets the job done,
00:42:56 a lead-off base knock,
00:42:58 and that's what we're trying to work with here offensively.
00:43:01 It's a chance for Briley Hurd to take advantage.
00:43:14 Hurd takes it low.
00:43:19 Briley Hurd, number 7 for Nebraska gold.
00:43:28 Here's the left fielder for the team in black.
00:43:31 Slater's 1-0.
00:43:33 Opposite way foul.
00:43:35 Don't equalize the count.
00:43:37 1-1.
00:43:39 You know, whenever you can get lead-off base hits
00:43:42 like Nebraska gold has here in this home second,
00:43:45 it really puts you in such a good position offensively.
00:43:48 You can utilize small ball,
00:43:50 but the name of the game in this spot,
00:43:52 it's getting those productive outs.
00:43:54 Flashes bunt, trying to slap through it.
00:43:57 Instead takes an outside corner strike.
00:44:00 Randall Waller is on deck.
00:44:05 Two-strike pitch.
00:44:13 Swipes it the opposite way for another foul.
00:44:16 Winner of this game today moves on to the championship.
00:44:23 These are always games that add pressure
00:44:26 as you move along in these brackets.
00:44:29 Challenge day in and day out for these travel teams.
00:44:38 1-2, wanders high, equalizes the count.
00:44:45 This offense for Nebraska gold,
00:44:51 lineup got a two-out single and a walk to put two on.
00:44:55 Left it stranded in the first.
00:44:57 2-2.
00:44:59 And his pair shoot a foul into the netting.
00:45:03 Coach Perkins, the head man for Nebraska gold.
00:45:19 And that 2-2 is outside, throw down to first.
00:45:22 Not in time to get the runner.
00:45:25 Ryan is back in safely.
00:45:28 Good instincts and timing was not bad at all.
00:45:35 It's a really tough tag to apply by Rupiper.
00:45:40 Excuse me, by Pittman.
00:45:43 Payoff pitch is tapped up the third base line.
00:45:48 And the throw is in time for the first out of the inning.
00:45:51 But we talked about this.
00:45:53 Still a productive out for Nebraska gold
00:45:55 as they move the runner into scoring position.
00:45:58 And that's really at the end of the day.
00:46:00 You force the defense to not just make a play,
00:46:02 but you don't give them a good option.
00:46:04 Force them to go to the routine
00:46:06 and beat you out at the first base bag
00:46:08 and get that runner to second.
00:46:10 That's well executed to be a productive out by Briley Hurd
00:46:13 and Randal Waller will step up.
00:46:17 Here's the righty right fielder.
00:46:20 First pitch aggressive, fouls it back for strike one.
00:46:24 Ropes one up to first.
00:46:41 Throw to second and they get the lead runner.
00:46:44 And it's a double play to retire the side.
00:46:48 A three six double play.
00:46:53 The line out to the first baseman
00:46:55 and the throw back to second to turn two.
00:46:58 An excellent defensive play by Moho Lewis
00:47:01 sends us to the third here in Kansas City.
00:47:05 Do you want to play like a pro?
00:47:11 Stand out.
00:47:12 Be different.
00:47:13 On and off the field.

00:47:20 Welcome to the pro experience.

00:47:26 [Music]
00:47:55 Welcome back to Kansas City
00:47:57 as we head to the top of the third inning.
00:47:59 It's the bottom of the order for Moho Lewis
00:48:01 to face Jensen who has been absolutely stellar
00:48:04 to start the day.
00:48:06 Jensen is
00:48:08 on top of the first pitch,
00:48:10 wanders low for a ball.
00:48:12 Four strikeouts and six batters faced
00:48:15 has retired all six that have stepped up.
00:48:18 Ruby Collins leads off for Moho Lewis.
00:48:21 It's high in the zone for strike one.
00:48:25 It's a 16-yield game
00:48:27 here at the World Fast Pitch Championship.
00:48:29 Winner's bracket final.
00:48:31 She mentioned beautiful weather today
00:48:33 in Kansas City.
00:48:36 It's the outer half for strike two.
00:48:39 Alexis Jensen has shown really good command.
00:48:43 She's had a good variety of pitches.
00:48:46 She's hit her spots well
00:48:48 and you can establish this rhythm early as a pitcher
00:48:52 It's titanic.
00:48:55 Two-two.
00:48:57 You just keep hitters off balance
00:49:01 more so than anything.
00:49:04 [cheers and applause]
00:49:33 Now one out in the inning.
00:49:36 Squares a bunt, rolls it back towards the circle.
00:49:42 It is the third baseman who grabs it
00:49:44 and Bryant throws it to Rue Piper
00:49:46 for the second out of the inning.
00:49:49 Norville tried to lay down a bunt
00:49:51 but was unsuccessful.
00:49:53 Stellar defense.
00:49:55 It's a great job. You see everybody closing in.
00:49:57 It's a good job positioning yourself up that line.
00:50:00 Makes that throw just in time to get the eight-spot hitter.
00:50:05 That is a great job defensively by Nebraska Gold.
00:50:09 Now into the ninth spot for Hannah Smith.
00:50:16 [cheers and applause]
00:50:19 Tap her off home plate.
00:50:34 Move 0-2.
00:50:36 So a pitcher's count for Jensen
00:50:38 trying to work another 1-2-3 inning.
00:50:45 We talked about what are the differences
00:50:47 in great teams, elite teams,
00:50:49 especially at this level,
00:50:51 their ability to execute defensively.
00:50:54 [cheers and applause]
00:50:56 Rise ball one side.
00:50:58 Count is 1-2.
00:51:03 Slow roller up at third again.
00:51:15 This throw is high.
00:51:18 So Hannah Smith finds a way aboard
00:51:20 into the same spot,
00:51:22 but that was a tough play defensively to make.
00:51:25 This throw just pulls her off the bag.
00:51:29 And again, it was exactly what Norville
00:51:31 was trying to do in the last hit bat.
00:51:33 Force them to make a tough throw to first,
00:51:35 and that's exactly what Smith did successfully there.
00:51:38 She's on board with an infield single.
00:51:43 Turns it back to the top of the order for Bailey.
00:51:46 First hit of the ball game for Moho Lewis
00:51:51 comes in the 9-hole.
00:51:52 It would have been 8 perfect against--
00:51:55 or from Jensen.
00:51:57 Struck out 4 the first 8 she faced.
00:52:00 Bailey, a tough spot again on the infield,
00:52:04 and no throw for Jensen.
00:52:07 Back-to-back, 2-out infield singles for Moho Lewis.
00:52:12 This team has got some 2-out magic of their own.
00:52:15 Just swipes one,
00:52:16 and this is such a tough play for a pitcher.
00:52:18 You're not used to that throwing motion, too,
00:52:20 so you want to make sure you have a comfortable throw.
00:52:23 You don't want to overthrow it,
00:52:24 put your defense in a bad spot,
00:52:26 so she has to hold on to that.
00:52:27 No chance to get that in time to first.
00:52:29 That is a plus-plus job offensively.
00:52:32 Audrey Cathy steps up.
00:52:40 A couple of infield singles have given Moho Lewis some life
00:52:43 after being retired 8 straight to start the game.
00:52:47 Starts one to the outside corner.
00:52:55 1-1.
00:52:57 Situational hitting is so important for any team.
00:53:02 I mean, this is what you practice
00:53:04 day in and day out.
00:53:05 When you're in these spots,
00:53:06 the experience you can garner
00:53:10 can be very valuable.
00:53:13 Swings through a 1-1 offer.
00:53:16 First turbulence that Alexis Jensen has faced today.
00:53:24 Trying to settle in and escape the inning unscathed.
00:53:31 A 1-2 pitch.
00:53:33 That's Kareem's outside for a ball.
00:53:37 1-2.
00:53:39 Audrey Cathy struck out swinging in the first.
00:53:47 Jensen struck out to the side to start the game.
00:53:50 Rifles a 2-2.
00:53:54 Struck her out!
00:53:56 K-5 for Alexis Jensen,
00:53:59 and it comes in a clutch spot.
00:54:01 Back-to-back infield hits with 2 outs,
00:54:04 but a clutch pitch by Jensen
00:54:06 to pick up K-5.
00:54:08 We will see you in the home third.

00:58:25 I could still possibly get away with something.
00:58:27 The mantra sweet spot will give people
00:58:29 that extra oomph that they need in the ball.
00:58:32 ♪♪
00:58:34 Nothing sounds better than a mantra
00:58:36 when you make solid contact with it.
00:58:38 You just hear the...
00:58:40 ♪♪
00:58:47 Back in Kansas City, a pitcher's duel
00:58:49 as we slide to the top of the fourth.
00:58:51 Ryan Urquhart, Ricky Alparuso, Alex Urquhart.
00:58:53 Their entire USSSA crew working remotely in Vieira today.
00:58:57 First offering is popped up foul back.
00:59:00 Spits to nothing and one.
00:59:02 ♪♪
00:59:16 Fly ball into left.
00:59:18 Back to the track and over the head,
00:59:20 out of play for a ground rule double.
00:59:23 [crowd cheering]
00:59:24 And Moho Lewis has him going here
00:59:26 in the top of the fourth.
00:59:28 [crowd cheering]
00:59:34 An excellent job by Moho Lewis.
00:59:36 Just gets a hold of this one.
00:59:38 It's at ice and maybe leave the yard for Avery Stockwell.
00:59:42 [crowd cheering]
00:59:44 What a job by her to lead things off
00:59:46 with a ground rule double.
00:59:48 Just blasted one out into left over the head of her.
00:59:52 [crowd cheering]
00:59:54 There's one powerful swing, a little more on that.
00:59:56 That could have left the yard.
00:59:58 [crowd cheering]
01:00:05 Pinch runner into the game.
01:00:07 This is Mack Warren who comes in to run.
01:00:10 [crowd cheering]
01:00:19 Kelly Pittman steps up the righty.
01:00:22 Tries to bunt and that's a foul ball
01:00:24 in one of the opposing batter's box.
01:00:27 That's a great stop for Moho Lewis
01:00:30 who had been struck out for their first eight.
01:00:33 Got a couple two out hits in the third
01:00:35 and now a ground rule double against Alexis Jensen
01:00:39 who has been stellar with her pitching to this point.
01:00:43 [crowd cheering]
01:00:45 Lead off base hits.
01:00:46 You want to take advantage.
01:00:48 As much as you can.
01:00:50 Chase the outer edge for a strike-o and two.
01:00:53 [crowd cheering]
01:01:10 Placed it outside, one and two.
01:01:12 [crowd cheering]
01:01:17 A lot of times when you get to this level of softball
01:01:20 you're seeing some elite pitching.
01:01:23 No shine so far.
01:01:24 Both offenses have mustered hits
01:01:26 but nobody scored a run.
01:01:28 [crowd cheering]
01:01:30 No chance to go get it on the pop-up.
01:01:32 Sails into the bird.
01:01:34 [crowd cheering]
01:01:44 I would have had it.
01:01:45 [crowd cheering]
01:01:53 One-two is elevated out of play.
01:01:55 Right field side.
01:01:57 [crowd cheering]
01:02:03 Stay one and two.
01:02:05 [crowd cheering]
01:02:13 Pittman flew out to right in the second
01:02:16 to lead things off.
01:02:17 That's a runner in scoring position here.
01:02:19 [crowd cheering]
01:02:21 Pittman tails one foul at the third.
01:02:24 [crowd cheering]
01:02:29 Boy, these are the spots that so far
01:02:31 the pitchers have prevailed.
01:02:32 You can feel these teams straining,
01:02:35 trying to get control offensively.
01:02:38 The dugouts have been lively here in Kansas City.
01:02:40 That without doubt.
01:02:42 One-two from Jensen.
01:02:45 He's up high, two and two.
01:02:47 [crowd cheering]
01:03:03 Two-two is carved off for another foul.
01:03:06 Look at that bat from Kimley Pittman.
01:03:14 You can see the strength of her swing.
01:03:16 [crowd cheering]
01:03:19 You can barrel something up here.
01:03:21 Try and break the score this time.
01:03:23 Midway through.
01:03:24 [crowd cheering]
01:03:27 Goes down low and misses.
01:03:28 The count's full.
01:03:32 You can feel the momentum.
01:03:33 The ball to Nicole Lewis is grabbed.
01:03:37 They've done a good job passing the bat
01:03:39 and passing information.
01:03:42 [crowd cheering]
01:03:43 Payoff pitch.
01:03:45 Chase it outside.
01:03:46 It's a dropped third strike.
01:03:47 The throw down to first completes the K.
01:03:52 But more importantly, it's a productive strikeout
01:03:56 as back side Stockwell moves to third.
01:04:00 And she gets the strikeout low on the outer part of the zone,
01:04:03 but it's a warrant to take off on a pitch in the dirt.
01:04:05 You know you have to throw that to first
01:04:07 to complete the strikeout.
01:04:09 And no shot to turn that back over to third.
01:04:12 So it puts a runner on the doorstep for Moho Lewis.
01:04:16 So it functions the same as a productive groundout.
01:04:25 That is good base running.
01:04:28 It provides an opportunity for Erringdale
01:04:30 to do something with it.
01:04:35 Catcher having an equipment issue,
01:04:37 Mohbock will go and make sure everything
01:04:39 is applied correctly.
01:04:50 That prior strikeout is the sixth for Jensen so far.
01:04:54 And now we got all the equipment working.
01:05:02 Take this opportunity for coach to call a meeting
01:05:06 and definitely want to talk situationally here
01:05:08 because you think about what options are on the table
01:05:12 for this group right now.
01:05:15 Offensively for Moho Lewis.
01:05:20 You can pop something up into the outfield.
01:05:22 That's more than likely enough to get the runner home.
01:05:34 Back warrant out at third.
01:05:41 So ideally if you're Jensen here,
01:05:44 you're looking to get them to bite at something
01:05:46 hopefully low in the zone, induce a groundout,
01:05:48 give your team an opportunity to make a play at home plate.
01:05:52 Optimally you'd want it to be left side of the infield.
01:05:59 Don't make it easy for that runner to come in.
01:06:06 Erringdale lays down a bunt.
01:06:07 This is a tough spot.
01:06:08 Comes home and she is out.
01:06:14 Back to the originator who sends it to Mohbock.
01:06:16 Applies the tag.
01:06:18 That is a massive second out for Nebraska Gold.
01:06:24 Trying to lay down a bunt here.
01:06:25 Erringdale sends it back to the circle
01:06:27 and forces the defense to make a play.
01:06:31 That's well out in front of the pinch runner.
01:06:37 That evaporates the run opportunity
01:06:40 coming home from third.
01:06:43 So Erringdale safe on the fielder's choice over at first
01:06:45 but a big defensive play.
01:06:53 Once again, that has been the theme
01:06:55 of this Winners Bracket Final has been
01:06:57 the defense shining here in Kansas City.
01:07:01 Marks one foul in the backstop.
01:07:09 Pitch to Torres.
01:07:24 Ball outside.
01:07:25 One and oh.
01:07:27 Another one and oh.
01:07:36 Pitch.
01:07:42 Swings thrown and that is strike three.
01:07:46 Lucky number seven for Alexis Jensen.
01:07:50 She is dealing here in Kansas City.
01:07:55 Caught her with some high heat
01:07:56 and we will see you in the bottom of the fourth.
01:07:59 [MUSIC]
01:08:29 [MUSIC]
01:08:57 Fourth here in City Fountains
01:09:00 as they call it Kansas City.
01:09:03 Over 200 installations of fountains in this city.
01:09:07 One of its major landmarks as we go into this home fourth.
01:09:11 Three hits apiece for either team
01:09:13 but every time one team has gotten something going offensively
01:09:16 the pitching of the defense has come up in clutch spots.
01:09:19 None bigger than in that last inning.
01:09:20 A leadoff ground rule double
01:09:22 and then a great play at home to suffocate
01:09:24 what could have been the first run for Moho Lewis.
01:09:27 That's a good catch of the frame.
01:09:29 For Jensen who sends one in the air to left
01:09:31 twisting back at the warning track.
01:09:34 Collins has got it.
01:09:40 That could have been a problem and a half.
01:09:44 Alexis Jensen just shy of the necessary distance
01:09:47 to get out of here.
01:09:51 Collins makes the play out at left for Moho Lewis.
01:10:02 Here's your small block.
01:10:25 Two and 0.
01:10:37 Half swing and a ball inside.
01:10:39 Three and 0.
01:10:45 Beg your pardon this is two and 0.
01:10:55 No walker.
01:10:57 So after the fly out deep in the left
01:11:00 Mohlbach on via base on balls.
01:11:07 Four pitch walk for Mohlbach and CJ Morgan will come up.
01:11:15 Nebraska Gold had two base runners
01:11:17 in the first they left stranded.
01:11:20 Also got a runner on in the second
01:11:21 that was retired off of a double play.
01:11:23 Pinch runner in for Nebraska Gold.
01:11:30 This is Mack Harrington in a run.
01:11:59 CJ Morgan taps one off foul.
01:12:11 Slater has retired.
01:12:21 All but one of the last seven that have stepped up
01:12:25 for the four pitch walk to Mohlbach
01:12:27 and CJ Morgan was single back in the first.
01:12:30 CJ Morgan was walked in the first as well
01:12:32 was part of two runners that got on for Nebraska Gold.
01:12:40 One one pitch is tagged in the air to left center.
01:12:44 Torres camps underneath it.
01:12:46 That's the second out of the inning.
01:12:55 Seeing some good contact from both teams.
01:12:59 Both trying to figure out these opposing pitchers
01:13:02 who have spun the ball really well so far.
01:13:05 I think most impressively in tough spots
01:13:09 probably Rue Piper is up.
01:13:12 Rue Piper swings outside at it
01:13:14 the throw down to second gets away
01:13:17 and this is an opportunity for Harrington.
01:13:20 She'll go into third standing up
01:13:21 and this one gets away.
01:13:23 She'll hang out at third not quite enough bounce
01:13:25 for her to head home
01:13:27 but a throwing miscue to second puts her on the doorstep.
01:13:32 Two outs in the inning this is a big pick up.
01:13:36 Rule that is an E2 skips her way off of Erringdale's glove
01:13:39 and you see it has enough depth into a spot
01:13:41 where the outfielders have to chase it
01:13:43 and that's a long throw for Torres to make.
01:13:48 Dolan banks it at E2.
01:13:55 First error of the game by either team.
01:14:00 Rue Piper facing one and one.
01:14:02 This changes your approach just a bit.
01:14:05 Now with a runner in scoring position.
01:14:08 Now Main Street for a strike one and two.
01:14:11 Time and time again today we've seen the pitchers
01:14:13 rise to the occasion.
01:14:16 The runners in scoring position on the doorstep
01:14:18 it hasn't mattered they have found a way
01:14:20 to get out of the inning.
01:14:24 And Sophia Slater do it again.
01:14:28 Just inside of the knees for a ball.
01:14:32 Good job girl.
01:14:59 And a strike here with two gone in the inning.
01:15:04 Slater sends it to Rue Piper.
01:15:06 Rue Piper golfs one into right field.
01:15:09 Nordell is back and she's got it.
01:15:12 The defense does it again for Moho Lewis.
01:15:15 A runner on the doorstep not an issue for the team in white.
01:15:18 That will send us to the fifth still scoreless
01:15:21 here in Kansas City.

01:16:20 (crowd cheering)
01:16:24 - Bo Lewis and Nebraska Gold going at it
01:16:27 here top of the fifth inning, winner's bracket final.
01:16:30 Winner goes on to the championship game.
01:16:33 One run might be enough today between these two.
01:16:36 Leading off the inning, it's the bottom of the order.
01:16:39 Ruby Collins, the left fielder,
01:16:40 was retired on her last trip to the plate back in the third.
01:16:43 Alexis Jensen has been stellar so far.
01:16:48 Check swing and a rise lays off it for ball one.
01:16:54 Jensen started the day striking out the side
01:16:56 since his collected four more strikeouts.
01:16:58 His seven, his point of the fifth,
01:17:01 has come up in some elite spots.
01:17:05 Dashes through it, one and two.
01:17:22 Twist and the one, two.
01:17:23 Popped it up, center of the infield, who's got it.
01:17:27 It's the shortstop, Marshall.
01:17:29 Second time today, Ruby Collins has been retired.
01:17:34 So Megan Marshall makes the play
01:17:48 and brings in Kylie Norvell.
01:17:51 Right fielder, grounded out to third base on her last trip.
01:17:54 She works ahead here, one and oh.
01:17:57 This has been a very even game to this point.
01:18:08 Oh one is grounded back up the middle
01:18:12 and off of Marshall for a base hit.
01:18:18 That's the third infield hit of the game for Moho Lewis.
01:18:22 It's a one out base knock for Kylie Norvell.
01:18:24 This is one that is just kind of a slow grounder
01:18:30 back up the middle.
01:18:31 It's a tougher play than it looks,
01:18:33 almost like a seeing eye single.
01:18:34 This one deflects off a diving shortstop in Marshall.
01:18:38 It's not an easy play to make over the sixth spot.
01:18:41 That's a great job by Norvell to get on base.
01:18:46 Hannah Smith will step up for Moho Lewis.
01:18:48 Wonders to the inner half for a strike.
01:19:07 It was oh and two.
01:19:09 Hannah Smith trying to turn things over in the nine hole.
01:19:15 (crowd cheering)
01:19:17 This is what you need out of that nine spot.
01:19:19 Just find a way to be productive.
01:19:21 Protects the plate, stays alive on a two strike pitch.
01:19:26 And when you're a nine hole hitter in the DP spot,
01:19:31 you're not trying to send it to the moon.
01:19:35 Your primary goal is moving that runner,
01:19:37 but if you can just find a way on base even better,
01:19:41 so at the top of your order, get two runners with one out.
01:19:44 (crowd cheering)
01:19:46 Slashes one on a foul.
01:19:47 You can sense the plate protection from Hannah Smith.
01:19:54 Bailey is on deck, she did have a hit in the third.
01:20:01 One of three so far for Moho Lewis.
01:20:03 Jensen's oh two.
01:20:06 Cut and a miss for strike three.
01:20:09 Eight strikeouts for Alexis Jensen.
01:20:13 She retires the nine spot here in the fifth.
01:20:16 This has been the theme today,
01:20:20 just clutch K's for Alexis Jensen.
01:20:22 Well you see it been a downward east-west movement.
01:20:27 It's a big strikeout against the nine hole hitter.
01:20:31 Changes things situationally for the top of the order.
01:20:34 Puts more pressure with two gone here in the fifth.
01:20:41 (crowd cheering)
01:20:45 Oh one to Bailey.
01:20:45 Perhaps one a foul.
01:20:52 Moho Lewis, based out of Atlanta.
01:21:02 They're in the Midwest trying to get themselves
01:21:04 to a championship game here in the winner's bracket final.
01:21:09 Oh two is rifled in for strike three.
01:21:12 It's a backwards K for Alexis Jensen
01:21:15 and her ninth of the ball game.
01:21:17 Number 99 has number nine on the ledger.
01:21:22 She is dealing as this pitcher duel wears on
01:21:26 here in Kansas City.
01:21:39 (crowd cheering)
01:21:41 (crowd cheering)
01:21:44 (crowd cheering)
01:21:47 (crowd cheering)
01:22:15 Sophia Schlater back in the circle for Moho Lewis
01:22:18 as we make our way to the home fifth.
01:22:20 Nebraska Gold in this frame will send six, seven,
01:22:23 and eight to the plate.
01:22:24 Autumn Bryan sent the lead off.
01:22:27 Schlater today has only had a couple of strikeouts
01:22:29 but she has been clutch.
01:22:31 Only three hits allowed to Nebraska Gold, the 15U squad.
01:22:36 And every time that this offense has mustered something
01:22:40 up against her, whether it was two runners in the first,
01:22:43 a lead off single in the second,
01:22:45 or a four pitch walk in the fourth,
01:22:47 she has quelled the bats of the team in black today.
01:22:50 Autumn Bryan will try to get something moving
01:22:55 here in the lead off spot.
01:22:56 Winner's bracket final, winner on to the championship
01:23:00 here in the 16U bracket.
01:23:01 First hits the outside corner for a strike,
01:23:07 nothing and one on Bryan.
01:23:09 Bryan had a lead off single in the second,
01:23:11 was retired on a three, six double play.
01:23:14 She cuts through it for strike two.
01:23:24 Two strike pitch.
01:23:39 As he's on a rise, one and two.
01:23:41 One, two to the lefty.
01:23:53 Bryan sends one into the screen,
01:23:58 will stay alive on the same count.
01:23:59 (crowd cheering)
01:24:02 One, two, part two, goes upstairs.
01:24:27 Bryan already with one of three hits for Kansas City,
01:24:31 excuse me, for Nebraska to this point here in Kansas City.
01:24:34 The two, two.
01:24:38 Pop up, playable out in third base side foul ground
01:24:44 and tripped up, she got it anyway.
01:24:46 Audrey Cathy got to it, tripped up by her own teammate,
01:24:51 it's all smiles as she got the out.
01:24:57 It's one that you feel like, I got it, I got it, I got it,
01:25:01 and you're trying to make a play and cover things up,
01:25:04 but it's kind of tumbled into each other.
01:25:07 It's one you can laugh about after the game.
01:25:09 A little bit now, so one gone in the inning.
01:25:13 Briley Hurd is up, she grounded out to third
01:25:17 on her first trip.
01:25:18 First offering is a rise for ball one.
01:25:23 (crowd cheering)
01:25:26 Leavings the count, one and one.
01:25:40 There's been a defensive affair today, of course.
01:25:46 Offenses have threatened, both teams have had runners
01:25:48 on the doorstep, nobody has been able to capitalize yet.
01:25:53 Pitching has been phenomenal today.
01:25:54 Slater sends in a strike.
01:25:57 Sophia Slater stands in for a one-two.
01:26:11 She misses it just outside two against Briley Hurd.
01:26:17 Hurd up at the plate.
01:26:22 (crowd cheering)
01:26:24 Two-two comes home.
01:26:32 And a line drive into the screen.
01:26:36 Seen some really quality at bats from both sides today.
01:26:41 Something that'll make any coach happy
01:26:43 when you go back to watch the film.
01:26:44 Just the patience of these players
01:26:47 when they go up to the plate,
01:26:48 especially against the quality of pitching
01:26:50 they've seen today.
01:26:52 Two-two.
01:26:52 It's a rise upstairs, count for.
01:26:56 These have been the at-bats where
01:27:00 we've seen the offense break through with some patience,
01:27:03 whether it's been walks or infield hits.
01:27:06 Had the sense one run might be enough
01:27:10 in this kind of a game today.
01:27:12 Pell pitch is cut on for strike three.
01:27:18 It's the third for Sophia Slater.
01:27:20 Hasn't been a high volume of strikeouts today,
01:27:27 but this has been the quality of pitching.
01:27:29 You see just enough movement to get over the bat
01:27:32 of Briley Hurd, two up, two down here in the fifth.
01:27:35 That's the thing is, it doesn't matter how flashy you are,
01:27:40 it's the efficiency you can play with.
01:27:42 Both pitchers have had that in this winner's bracket final.
01:27:47 (crowd cheering)
01:27:49 Toss misses low.
01:28:03 Rana Waller, lined into a double-planner last trip,
01:28:12 looking for some redemption here in the fifth
01:28:14 with two gone and nobody on.
01:28:16 9-0 hitter Megan Marshall awaits on deck.
01:28:19 Bouncer foul up at first base side.
01:28:25 (crowd cheering)
01:28:27 1-1 is tapped to into right field
01:28:49 and that's down to the feet of Norvell.
01:28:53 Into the perfect spot past the second baseman,
01:28:56 Bailey in the right fielder for a two-out single.
01:28:59 You see this pitch, it's on the high inside corner
01:29:03 and gets underneath it into a really tough spot.
01:29:06 Despite some good positioning defensively,
01:29:08 that is tough to turn around for Bailey and Norvell.
01:29:12 So Waller, a little bit of redemption
01:29:16 after lining out with the double play,
01:29:18 picks up a single, bounces back well,
01:29:21 and now the onus on Megan Marshall
01:29:23 to try and turn it over with two outs.
01:29:25 First one Marshall sees is outside for ball one.
01:29:42 Marshall was one of the three Ks
01:29:45 that Schlatter has picked up so far.
01:29:47 That was back in the third, went down swinging,
01:29:51 was a one, two, three inning for Schlatter.
01:29:53 Fouls it back.
01:30:03 1-1.
01:30:20 The 1-1 comes home.
01:30:22 Works ahead, two and one.
01:30:26 Megan Marshall, left-handed hitter
01:30:30 in that bottom of the order.
01:30:31 We've seen Schlatter evade out of trouble
01:30:36 with runners on already.
01:30:37 Braska Gold, his left three.
01:30:41 Can they do it again?
01:30:43 Schlatter works it to two and two.
01:30:48 (crowd shouting)
01:30:51 Lee being boho.
01:30:52 Defense trying to find some deja vu in the fifth.
01:31:00 A two-two pitch is up in the air,
01:31:05 foul territory, nobody can get to it.
01:31:07 (crowd shouting)
01:31:10 Schlatter trying to get out of trouble again, two-two.
01:31:32 Is up high, runner takes off,
01:31:34 the throw down to second is in time.
01:31:37 Stockwell's arm is enough to retire the side,
01:31:43 catches Waller stealing.
01:31:46 And this game remains scoreless,
01:31:47 the defense shining again, a pinpoint accurate throw
01:31:51 right in front of the runner.
01:31:52 (upbeat music)
01:31:59 (crowd shouting)
01:32:02 On Florida's space coast, you can do anything,
01:32:27 walk on water or learn to fly,
01:32:30 touch the stars or even another world.
01:32:34 Lose yourself, but find each other.
01:32:37 Just don't forget to look up.
01:32:39 We're the only beach in the world
01:32:41 that doubles as a launch pad
01:32:43 because this you can only do here.

01:32:57 Top of the sixth, both teams with four hits,
01:32:59 one error for Mo Lewis.
01:33:02 Move inconsequential.
01:33:04 As Jensen is back in the circle,
01:33:06 both pitchers have gone the distance to this point.
01:33:09 Eyes are moving on to the 16-year championship,
01:33:13 the World Fast Pitch Championships.
01:33:15 This is the winner's bracket final.
01:33:18 Both teams trying to come out of Kansas City victorious today.
01:33:26 (crowd cheering)
01:33:27 The old one is in the dirt.
01:33:29 Mo Lewis in the last inning on a one-out single,
01:33:38 but after that retired off a pair of Ks for Jensen.
01:33:41 Mashes through this one, strike two.
01:33:49 (crowd cheering)
01:33:52 Two-strike pitch from Jensen.
01:34:00 Ground ball, left side of the infield.
01:34:05 Five to three for the first down of the inning.
01:34:07 Kathy retired to lead things off.
01:34:09 It's been another part of Jensen's game today
01:34:16 that has been effective, inducing those ground outs,
01:34:19 utilizing your defense as a tool.
01:34:21 We talk so much about the strikeout numbers for a pitcher
01:34:25 or their ability to place the ball,
01:34:26 and that stuff is important,
01:34:27 but being able to understand and use your defense
01:34:31 as a tool that is such a critical component
01:34:34 of any pitcher's success.
01:34:35 Avery Stockwell steps up to the plate.
01:34:37 She stares down a rise ball, looks ahead, one and out.
01:34:43 (crowd cheering)
01:34:46 One-0 pitch is lined into left field
01:34:59 and finds some real estate for a one-out base hit.
01:35:02 Could it be enough to start things
01:35:07 for the Moho Lewis lineup?
01:35:12 Second hit of the game for Avery Stockwell
01:35:15 at a ground rule double earlier.
01:35:16 They seem to have a similar spot in left field.
01:35:18 Puts it right at Hurd's feet.
01:35:21 She'll be pinch run for it first.
01:35:26 It is Warren once again.
01:35:27 (crowd cheering)
01:35:32 (crowd cheering)
01:35:35 Henley pitting into first baseman.
01:35:49 Had a productive K, was dropped her strike into fourth,
01:35:53 also flew out to right looking for her first hit.
01:35:56 The one-out.
01:36:01 (crowd cheering)
01:36:03 Blowing away, ball two.
01:36:04 You can hear the liveliness of the Moho Lewis dugout.
01:36:13 Both teams trying to will their lineup
01:36:16 to that one clutch hit that could be the difference.
01:36:19 Two-0.
01:36:20 That's off the plate for a ball.
01:36:23 (crowd cheering)
01:36:26 It is a hitter's count for Pittman.
01:36:31 (crowd cheering)
01:36:34 Now to think her, make her throw you the strike,
01:36:37 especially with a runner on base.
01:36:39 She does just that, frame one.
01:36:42 (crowd cheering)
01:36:59 Opposite way, a liner for a foul into the Moho Lewis dugout.
01:37:02 Jensen today has been in some tough spots.
01:37:15 Does not shy away from the tough moments.
01:37:18 Payoff pitch.
01:37:20 Ground ball back to the circle.
01:37:22 Thinks about second and the throw to first is high.
01:37:25 (crowd cheering)
01:37:27 Kenley Pittman is safe.
01:37:29 (crowd cheering)
01:37:31 Well, this just makes Jensen think about it,
01:37:37 that extra second, and it's a non-routine throw
01:37:40 for a pitcher.
01:37:41 It's so tough, you're so used to the underhand motion
01:37:45 when you're in the circle that these overhead throws,
01:37:48 they can be a little bit hard to execute
01:37:50 when you're so used to that motion.
01:37:52 That's one that Jensen is gonna want back,
01:37:55 and maybe that demands a cheer.
01:37:56 So runners hit first and second.
01:37:59 Score it is a hit.
01:38:03 You're in the sixth.
01:38:06 (crowd cheering)
01:38:08 (crowd cheering)
01:38:37 Opportunity for Kenzie Erringdale.
01:38:39 First pitch attacks it.
01:38:41 Fly ball down the right field line.
01:38:44 In foul ground, she's got it.
01:38:46 Runners will tag in advance.
01:38:48 The second out is productive too,
01:38:52 and scoring position for Moho Lewis.
01:38:54 And if you're gonna be productive with runners
01:38:58 hit first and second, going into right field,
01:39:00 away from where they are running,
01:39:02 that is the ideal spot.
01:39:04 How productive you can be when you do get out.
01:39:07 That and these kind of games can be such a difference maker.
01:39:12 All the pressure on Torres.
01:39:14 Outer half strike, nothing and one.
01:39:17 Juan Torres looking for some redemption.
01:39:21 Has struck out swinging twice in this game
01:39:24 in the second and the fourth.
01:39:25 Bunts the 0-1 up behind the dish,
01:39:32 and the catch is made by Moba.
01:39:35 (crowd cheering)
01:39:36 The catcher comes up clutch for Nebraska Gold.
01:39:40 With runners it's second and third with two gone,
01:39:43 the defense comes through again.
01:39:45 Great awareness by Mobock, she clamps it in.
01:39:50 And Nebraska Gold will have their turn of the play
01:39:52 in the bottom of the sixth,
01:39:53 so we come back here in the Winners Bracket Final.
01:39:56 (gentle music)
01:39:58 (upbeat music)
01:40:01 (upbeat music)
01:40:04 (upbeat music)
01:40:06 (upbeat music)
01:40:26 (upbeat music)
01:40:32 (upbeat music)
01:40:34 (upbeat music)
01:40:37 (upbeat music)
01:40:40 - It all continues in the Winners Bracket Final
01:41:05 World Fast Pitch Championship 16-0.
01:41:07 Nebraska Gold will send nine in the order,
01:41:11 Megan Marshall back up to the plate.
01:41:13 She was up in the prior inning,
01:41:16 and Warner was caught stealing after a single.
01:41:20 Slater and Jensen battling it out today in the circle.
01:41:26 Side of third, moving on to.
01:41:31 (crowd cheering)
01:41:33 This is a Moho Lewis team.
01:41:44 They have won nine of their last 10,
01:41:50 seven and one in this bracket
01:41:52 in the World Fast Pitch Championships.
01:41:54 Nebraska Gold.
01:41:58 (crowd cheering)
01:42:02 Trying to stay unbeaten in Kansas City.
01:42:04 (crowd cheering)
01:42:08 One, two.
01:42:15 Marshall takes in the dirt.
01:42:18 This is critical here in the sixth
01:42:22 when you have the nine hole hitter leading off.
01:42:26 Retiring her, not letting her turn it over
01:42:29 to the top of her order with a runner.
01:42:32 That is paramount for Slater in this moment.
01:42:34 The two-two is up high for ball three.
01:42:39 (crowd cheering)
01:42:44 (crowd shouting)
01:42:47 I think some miscommunication
01:43:02 between pitcher, catcher, and signaler
01:43:04 did not appear to be on the same page.
01:43:13 The payoff pitch is blasted in the air
01:43:16 into left and out of play.
01:43:18 This has been a good at-bat to start for Megan Marshall.
01:43:25 Struck out in the third swing.
01:43:28 This is only her second played appearance so far.
01:43:30 Comes in the bottom of the sixth.
01:43:32 Another three-two.
01:43:43 It was darted foul again.
01:43:44 Tension rising here in the sixth.
01:43:58 Both teams straining for some kind of offense in this game.
01:44:02 Slater deals on three-two.
01:44:08 Ground ball, left side.
01:44:12 That is absorbed by Cathy in the throw to Pittman in time.
01:44:15 Five-three, a big first out for Moho Lewis.
01:44:18 Such a battle in this at-bat.
01:44:24 Just keep looking, trying to find that pitch
01:44:26 to induce a ground out.
01:44:28 That's a great job.
01:44:29 Five-three on the out.
01:44:31 That's a big one.
01:44:40 Give an opportunity for the flex hitter.
01:44:42 First pitch, a pop-up.
01:44:46 Not playable.
01:44:47 This is the pitcher, Slater.
01:44:51 Has not produced a hit yet.
01:44:54 Grounded out in the third.
01:45:09 (crowd cheering)
01:45:12 That hit her.
01:45:15 A hit by pitch in the 10 spot,
01:45:21 and the pitcher is aboard.
01:45:22 You can see that just clips her wrist.
01:45:34 (crowd cheering)
01:45:37 So M. Johnson is aboard, beg your pardon.
01:45:48 This will be a runner, an M. Ermer.
01:45:57 (crowd cheering)
01:46:00 Flashes butt and misses, ball one.
01:46:20 So now back at the top of the order, it is Trevorrow.
01:46:25 Runner at first.
01:46:28 After the hit by pitch, M. Johnson.
01:46:31 Shows bunt again, takes a strike this time.
01:46:39 You just feel like one of these teams
01:46:46 needs that big swing with runners on.
01:46:49 The issue hasn't been getting them on base,
01:46:52 it's been getting them in.
01:46:55 This bunt is just foul up at third.
01:46:58 Just the runner at first.
01:47:18 M. Johnson, pitch to Trevorrow,
01:47:24 is grounded out to the left side.
01:47:26 Has the lead runner and no chance to turn two.
01:47:29 So Johnson retired.
01:47:32 Excuse me, the pitch runner, Ermer, retired.
01:47:35 That will be the second out of the inning.
01:47:40 And Trevorrow is safe on a fielder's choice.
01:47:42 Now it is a pitcher on pitcher matchup.
01:47:53 Two gone, and he was sixth.
01:47:55 Lexus Jensen, a two-way player,
01:47:58 takes a bending strike on the outer edge.
01:48:00 Only fitting that if the pitchers do all these two
01:48:04 keep seeing each other.
01:48:05 Jensen looking for her first hit,
01:48:12 a strikeout and a fly out only so far.
01:48:14 Bryce ball upstairs.
01:48:17 (crowd cheering)
01:48:20 One-one pitch.
01:48:33 He's hiding away, runner takes off,
01:48:35 and the throw, not in the right spot.
01:48:37 But Trevorrow is in scoring position.
01:48:41 Second stolen base of the game for Nebraska Gold.
01:48:47 Slid in underneath it.
01:48:49 It is a throw you work on as a catcher.
01:48:54 It takes years to perfect it.
01:48:58 Two-one, darts into the high outside corner,
01:49:04 just clips enough for strike two.
01:49:06 (crowd cheering)
01:49:09 Slater's two-two pitch.
01:49:18 Did she go?
01:49:21 They will appeal.
01:49:24 They'll say no, Jensen stays alive and the count is full.
01:49:28 A runner in scoring position,
01:49:35 trying to take advantage.
01:49:36 She got her for strike three.
01:49:53 Sophia Slater, her fourth strikeout,
01:49:58 and that may be the biggest in the sixth.
01:50:02 Just gets enough of that outer black,
01:50:04 strikes out the opposing pitcher,
01:50:07 and the pitcher's duel continues on to the seventh
01:50:10 in a scoreless matchup.
01:50:12 (ball bouncing)

01:50:25 Be a hitter.

01:51:22 Top of the seventh, Moho Lewis up to the plate
01:51:25 in the first pitch swing.
01:51:26 And bottom of the order, it's Ruby Collins who leads off.
01:51:30 0 for 2 today, Jensen, now the one
01:51:33 distributing the pitches after striking out in the sixth.
01:51:38 She had a tough go of it today.
01:51:40 Stellar on the defensive side.
01:51:42 She has racked up strikeouts.
01:51:48 Has nine to this point.
01:51:49 Worked out of a second and third jam in the sixth.
01:51:53 2-0 is sliced up foul.
01:51:59 The 2-1.
01:52:17 Popped a foul back, 2-2.
01:52:18 2-2 pitch, cut on for strike three.
01:52:41 Make it 10 for Alexis Jensen.
01:52:43 - Pick it up, pick it up.
01:52:45 Come on, right here, baby.
01:52:46 Stay on.
01:52:46 - Just look at the placement by Jensen.
01:52:52 That great curve, bending in on a bit of a screw
01:52:56 towards the shins.
01:52:58 That's a great out pitch.
01:53:00 Double digit strikeout day for Jensen in the circle.
01:53:08 Her arm has been trusted.
01:53:11 It's Nebraska Gold team.
01:53:15 Allie Norvell on the first offering, up in the air,
01:53:17 foul territory.
01:53:19 No shot for it as it sails out of play.
01:53:21 Nebraska Gold on the other side will
01:53:26 have the heart of the order to work with 3, 4, and 5.
01:53:31 You've got some of your best hitters scheduled.
01:53:33 You can get through this inning unscathed once again.
01:53:37 Give yourself an opportunity to walk it off in the home match.

01:56:57 for both pitchers, Alexis Jensen has racked them up.
01:57:01 She has 10.
01:57:02 And you can see the pitch selection up in the zone,
01:57:04 down in the zone, whether it has been that outer half
01:57:07 or that inner half.
01:57:08 She has had it today.
01:57:10 And meanwhile, on the other side,
01:57:11 Sophia Slater has been elite on her own right,
01:57:14 picking up four strikeouts and has come up
01:57:17 with defensive plays for Moho Lewis.
01:57:19 Tennessee Moho trying to advance to the next round
01:57:22 and into the championship.
01:57:23 Nebraska Gold as the home team with an opportunity
01:57:26 to walk it off in this inning.
01:57:28 Both teams have had their opportunities offensively.
01:57:32 Both have had runners on the doorstep at points,
01:57:34 but none have been able to scratch them across.
01:57:37 The closest anybody came was this Moho Lewis team.
01:57:41 [CHEERING]
01:57:45 A play was made at home plate to keep them off the board.
01:57:50 Moboc will lead off.
01:57:51 She has reached in both her appearances
01:57:53 single in the first and four pitch walk in the fourth.
01:57:56 Moboc, Morgan, and Rue Piper all scheduled here in the seventh.
01:58:04 Fly ball down the left field line into foul territory,
01:58:07 and nobody can get to it.
01:58:08 [CHEERING]
01:58:33 Moboc stands it.
01:58:38 Slater sends a 1-1 pitch.
01:58:41 And he's popped a foul for strike two.
01:58:43 [CHEERING]
01:59:08 Slater's two strike pitch is bounced out
01:59:11 to short on a couple of hops for Erringdale.
01:59:15 And it's in time to first.
01:59:16 Big first out takes some pressure off,
01:59:22 brings in CJ Morgan.
01:59:23 [CHEERING]
01:59:44 Morgan in this game has reached once on a walk.
01:59:51 Fly ball foul.
01:59:53 Out of play left side.
01:59:54 0-1 on the way.
02:00:15 Just outside for goal one.
02:00:17 [CHEERING]
02:00:32 Rocking the 1-1 toss.
02:00:35 In at the knees.
02:00:35 They'll check to see if she went around.
02:00:38 She did not.
02:00:38 Saves the first base on fire.
02:00:40 [CHEERING]
02:00:57 Slater's 2-1.
02:00:59 Cut on for strike two.
02:01:00 [CHEERING]
02:01:19 The 2-2 pitch.
02:01:21 They send in the air out to right field.
02:01:24 Norvell is back, and she's got it.
02:01:29 Two up and two down in the seventh.
02:01:32 This defense is just absolutely stellar today.
02:01:38 Not let the pressure get to them in any spot.
02:01:42 Wind picking up just a little bit.
02:01:44 Has some blow out towards the right field line.
02:01:47 It is Rue Piper who steps up.
02:01:52 First pitch is screaming grounder to second.
02:01:58 And a routine out will retire the side.
02:02:00 We've got free softball here in Kansas City.
02:02:04 The winner's bracket final is going
02:02:06 to the eighth between Moho Lewis and the Plaska Gold.

02:02:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:03:19 On to the eighth in Kansas City, Lewis Moho and the Plaska
02:03:24 Gold.
02:03:25 Lewis should say, these teams have not been shy of offense.
02:03:29 You see the hits.
02:03:30 They've combined for 12 total.
02:03:33 A pair of errors for Moho Lewis.
02:03:35 But ultimately, the defense has won out when it's needed to.
02:03:39 We've had close plays at home plate.
02:03:41 We've seen gobs of strikeouts, 10 of them
02:03:44 from Alexis Jensen, who will now go into the eighth.
02:03:48 And that's today's starter and only pitcher
02:03:51 we have seen from the Plaska Gold.
02:03:55 Popped up on the first offering and two opportunities.
02:04:00 Nobody can get to it.
02:04:03 Part of the tiebreaker is runners at second
02:04:05 here at extra innings.
02:04:09 Trying to decide this one.
02:04:10 So the last who is up to the plate will run.
02:04:13 The runner at second is currently Hannah Smith.
02:04:17 [CROWD CHEERING]
02:04:19 Bunt is popped up and a diving catch is made.
02:04:27 The throwback to second not in time.
02:04:29 What a play by Bryant.
02:04:31 This is the bunt pops up into a tough spot.
02:04:41 Wow.
02:04:44 That is a plus plus play out at third by Autumn Bryant.
02:04:50 Diving in makes the squeeze.
02:04:53 Tried to turn it back to two to maybe get
02:04:55 Smith off the short end of the bat.
02:05:00 That is a clutch play by the third baseman.
02:05:03 So Bailey retired.
02:05:07 It is the top of the order for Moho Lewis.
02:05:10 Now it is Audrey Cathy who comes up.
02:05:14 [CROWD CHEERING]
02:05:16 Rise ball misses upstairs.
02:05:18 1 and 1.
02:05:20 Those kind of plays just fire you up as a team.
02:05:25 You've had Jensen who has collected strikeouts today,
02:05:27 but the defense has made some stellar plays.
02:05:30 The 1-1.
02:05:36 Float up in the air.
02:05:37 And this is playable for the second baseman, Ermer.
02:05:42 And there's two outs in the inning.
02:05:44 Those are two big outs against the top of the Moho Lewis
02:05:50 order here in the eighth.
02:05:53 Now you spend the three spot hitter here.
02:05:57 You have Hannah Smith who's running.
02:05:58 So it's all on Stockwell to try and get some two out production.
02:06:10 First offering is hired away.
02:06:12 1-0.
02:06:25 It's outside for ball two.
02:06:27 Graske goal will have an opportunity
02:06:33 in the home half of the inning.
02:06:36 6, 7, and an 8 scheduled for the team in black.
02:06:40 [CHEERING]
02:06:42 And Stockwell lets it wave outside for ball three.
02:06:45 Understandably, want to be careful with Stockwell.
02:06:50 She struck out in the first, but since, a grounder
02:06:53 will double and a single.
02:06:55 3-0.
02:06:57 That's hired away for ball three.
02:07:00 So a four pitch walk in the eighth
02:07:01 with two gone for Stockwell.
02:07:04 You don't want to say it's inconsequential, of course,
02:07:07 but I think you're more than happy to give her
02:07:09 first with the most important run at second
02:07:12 and two outs of the inning.
02:07:14 You have somebody on deck in Pittman
02:07:16 who has had a single in her most recent at that,
02:07:18 but also has struck out once.
02:07:21 That was in the fourth.
02:07:21 This will be a pinch runner again.
02:07:28 [CHEERING]
02:07:31 Here's Russell, who is running.
02:07:41 Check swing on it, and that's a strike all the same.
02:07:57 This is where you want your cleanup hitter to be.
02:08:01 Runners on base, a premium spot in the game.
02:08:06 Left that short, and that is going to be a ball.
02:08:09 It's now thrown a ball in five of the last six pitches.
02:08:12 Oh, you wonder if the walk to Stockwell
02:08:14 was an unintentional, intentional walk.
02:08:18 Just trying to be careful with her, giving her production.
02:08:22 The 1-1 comes Platewood.
02:08:26 Here's your check swing foul.
02:08:28 Playable out at second for Ermer.
02:08:30 That will retire the side.
02:08:32 Nebraska Gold, another opportunity
02:08:34 to walk it off this time in extras.
02:08:37 They will have Brewpipe running at second with 6, 7, and 8.
02:08:41 Two up in the bottom of the game.
02:08:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:08:45 [CHEERING]
02:09:15 One thing that I always look for is the grip
02:09:18 and how good it is.
02:09:19 Another thing, too, is how big the sweet spot is.
02:09:22 Just knowing, like, even if I do get jammed,
02:09:24 if I have a big enough sweet spot,
02:09:25 I could still possibly get away with something.
02:09:28 The mantra sweet spot will give people that extra oomph
02:09:31 that they need in the ball.
02:09:35 Nothing sounds better than a mantra
02:09:36 when you make solid contact with it.
02:09:39 You just hear the--
02:09:39 [MAKES BALL SOUNDS]
02:09:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:09:46 Another opportunity for Nebraska Gold
02:09:50 to advance the championship game in walk-off fashion.
02:09:54 It has been a pitcher's duel through and through today.
02:09:58 Moho Lewis has come up in the big spots
02:10:01 as Nebraska Gold has.
02:10:04 All it will take is one run, and that could be the winning one
02:10:07 right there.
02:10:08 [CHEERING]
02:10:11 As is the rule, pinch runner to start the inning.
02:10:16 First offering is bunted back towards the circle.
02:10:19 Kathy grabs it, and the throw to Pittman
02:10:22 is in time for the out, but it's productive.
02:10:24 Moves the runner down to the doorstep.
02:10:26 [CHEERING]
02:10:29 Mack Harrington.
02:10:41 Runner on the doorstep for Briley Hurd.
02:10:44 [CHEERING]
02:10:47 It's a perfect 5-3 ground out.
02:10:51 Gives an opportunity.
02:10:52 Anything to the outfield ends the game.

02:11:24 Well, you have a place to put her.
02:11:26 The only run that matters for Moho right now is at third.

02:13:04 Struck out in the fifth.
02:13:05 [CHEERING]
02:13:08 It was a timely hit on her bones here.
02:13:11 Bottom of the eighth.
02:13:12 Winning run is on the doorstep.
02:13:13 [CHEERING]
02:13:18 Slater's payoff pitch.
02:13:20 [CHEERING]
02:13:21 Is rifled in for strike three.
02:13:26 Clutch K is K number five for Sophia Slater.
02:13:29 [CHEERING]
02:13:34 Boy, just drops that into the upper half of the zone.
02:13:38 Sophia Slater, that was masterful on a long at bat.
02:13:43 And once again, when her team needs her,
02:13:46 she rises to the occasion.
02:13:47 [CHEERING]
02:13:54 Five strikeouts on the ledger for number nine.
02:13:56 [CHEERING]
02:13:59 You still have the winning run in third,
02:14:01 but now you need an honest base hit out of Walden.
02:14:03 [CHEERING]
02:14:11 Waller stares it down.
02:14:13 On a rise for ball one.
02:14:14 [CHEERING]
02:14:25 The 1-0 pitch.
02:14:27 Swing and a right drive through the left side.
02:14:30 That's ball game.
02:14:32 Harrington into score.
02:14:33 And Nebraska Gold walks it off into the championship game.
02:14:38 [CHEERING]
02:14:46 A pitch on the inner half.
02:14:47 That was a ball in on the hands.
02:14:50 Skips it through the left side.
02:14:52 And it's all smiles for the team in all black.
02:14:57 A hard fought pitcher's duel in the eighth.
02:15:02 Waller the hero for Nebraska Gold.
02:15:04 A game winning RBI single scores Harrington.
02:15:10 That'll do it for us, for our producer Alex,
02:15:12 our entire USSSA crew.
02:15:14 We'll see you back in a little bit as the world's fast pitch

02:15:32 wins it 1-0 over Moho Lewis.

02:39:40 In Kansas City for our second game of the day in the 16-U
02:39:43 World Fast Pitch Championships.
02:39:46 This time, it's the Aces Black against the Moho Lewis team,
02:39:50 who we just saw in the prior game, an eight-inning marathon
02:39:54 that ended in a Nebraska gold walk-off.
02:39:56 As they await the winner of this one on the losers' final side.
02:40:01 All set to get it going in the circle, it is Kate Landwe.
02:40:06 She will spin it for the Aces.
02:40:12 They're ready to get going here.
02:40:15 Our second game from Kansas City.
02:40:17 Moho will be the away team for this one.
02:40:27 We'll take you down the order here in just a moment.
02:40:30 This is the losers' bracket final, so of course,
02:40:37 an opportunity at redemption for Moho.
02:40:40 Landwe spins one high.
02:40:56 Down the order for Moho Lewis is Haley Bailey,
02:41:00 who leads things off.
02:41:01 Second baseman back in the same spot
02:41:06 as she was in the prior game.
02:41:08 She'll have an infield single.
