Iowa player heard on hot mic hilariously explaining an ESPN fix at the Little League World Series

Iowa made it past Washington to keep its Little League World Series run alive on Saturday despite an ESPN fix on the contest in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

At least, that’s what one Iowa player was heard saying to his pitcher on a hot mic.

The Midwest team, out of Davenport, Iowa, held a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the final inning on Saturday. Despite a pair of outs, however, the Northwest team, out of Washington, had a pair of runners on base — the second of which came after a walk that the Iowa team didn’t agree with much.
