Major League Baseball’s fifth annual Little League Classic was Sunday night, with the Baltimore Orioles defeating the Boston Red Sox 5-3 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
The event offers an opportunity for kids playing in the Little League World Series to experience a Major League game in an intimate setting, as the game is held at Muncy Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowman Field, which holds just under 2,500 fans.
The excitement of this opportunity was clearly not lost on one Little Leaguer, who got an up-close look at just how good Orioles closer Félix Bautista’s splitter is on a strikeout of Boston’s Rafael Devers in the ninth inning.
