Little League World Series games are entering the region championship round all across America, with the ultimate goal being a trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, for the finals.
On Tuesday, teams from Texas and Oklahoma provided a touching moment of sportsmanship during a high-stakes game.
Getting hit in the head by a pitch is a hitter’s worst nightmare. But, it can also be hard on the pitcher mentally to injure a competitor.
As you can see below, when an Oklahoma player got hit in the head by a pitch, the Texas pitcher was distraught. That led to a great moment where the hitter came over to console the pitcher:
