Have you ever been watching your kids play anything from soccer to baseball and witnessed one of the kids do something during the game that likely was a faux pas found in the gamer’s handbook? When it’s young kids playing these sports, you might just pretend like you didn’t see something or just let it slide because they’re still learning. Now, what if they were playing in a the Little League World Series?
An eleven-year-old player’s surprisingly cheeky behavior at a Little League World Series baseball game while they were up to bat has caused quite a stir online as people discuss everything from proper sportsmanship to where exactly the strike zone rests when someone is up to bat.
Seriously, should this be allowed?
According to BroBible.com, during an elimination game at the Little League World Series between Panama and Canada, there was a play that happened during the fourth inning that has caused quite a stir.
The outcome of the game was Canada defeating Panama in a final score of 3-2, but people are still talking about an incorrect ball four being called.
It was eleven-year-old Ianne Salcedo, who’s no taller than 5 feet and about 90 lbs soaking wet who was up at the batter’s box and proceeded to wiggle around and dance while holding his bat like he was going to lay down a bunt.
As the pitcher on the Canada team wound up to throw the ball, Ianne yelled something out at the mound and ducked super low below the pitch which resulted in a ball four. Panama was able to walk even though the ball crossed the plate because the umpire was confused by Ianne’s little dance break. Does this all seem like fair gameplay to you?
