It may be the Little League World Series, but the plays being made are nothing short of major.
Brendan Hanley of Massapequa Coast, N.Y., Little League provided a heck of a web gem on Monday, laying out in right field to make an incredible catch in the fifth inning. The snag was so good, even the batter gave Hanley some kudos, tipping his helmet as he headed back to the dugout.
Hanley's heroics helped Massapequa Coast take down Fairfield, Conn., American Little League 7-5 to advance to the Metro region championship game.
Former MLB All-Star Todd Frazier was on the call for the game and was clearly impressed by the youngster's clutch catch. Frazier knows a little something about making big plays in the LLWS after all, as he starred on the Toms River East, N.J., American Little League team back in 1998, leading them to the LLWS championship.
With some luck, maybe Hanley follows in Frazier's footsteps and leads his squad to glory as well.
