SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- As Ryan Harlost stepped to the mound on Sunday, he took it all in.Chants of U-S-A, U-S-A! droned over his left shoulder as he dipped it to deliver a warm-up pitch. South Korean arms and flags waved furiously to his right. Little kids who asked for his autograph earlier in the week used makeshift sleds to slide down the hill toward most of the 22,000-plus fans who packed Lamade Stadium.The Endwell, New York, pitcher admitted it made him uneasy. He sure didnt show it.Harlost led New York to the Little League World Series title, striking out eight and limiting South Korea to five hits in six innings in a 2-1 victory. He scored the deciding run on a passed ball in the fourth inning.I was a little nervous at first in front of a lot of people but its just another game and I felt confident going in, Harlost said.But it was more than just another game.Endwell snapped a five-year championship drought for U.S. teams on Little Leagues biggest stage and gave New York its first title since 1964. Huntington Beach, California, won in 2011 and Mid Island from Staten Island won New Yorks last World Series championship.Conner Rush had the New York teams only RBI to give Endwell a lead it wouldnt relinquish in the bottom of the fourth. Harlost (2-0) scored the deciding run on a passed ball a batter later.I was just thinking get it in play any way you can, Rush said. Once that happens, you never know what can happen.For a while, it didnt look like New York hitters would be able to hit anything.Junho Jeong (1-2) gave up two runs on four hits and struck out nine for South Korea (4-2). He was unflappable for most of the afternoon, working the outside of the plate masterfully for 3 1/3 innings of no-hit ball before Jude Abbadessa broke through in the fourth.Waking to the plate as Endwell fans along the first base side bellowed Juuude! Abbadessa broke up the rightys no-hit bid with a single to center. Harlost followed with a liner to the same spot and Rush plated the go-ahead run with a hit that fell in behind the shortstop. Harlost raced home to give New York a 2-0 lead one batter later.Its just been amazing, Abbadessa said. Just coming here would be amazing and then our team doing well is even more amazing. Its been fun the whole week and were glad that it turned out this way.Yoomin Lee homered for the Asia-Pacific champs from Seoul to halve New Yorks lead in the fifth. Harlosts precision and a stingy New York defense prevented further damage.In the second, right fielder James Fellows made a running grab at the warning track to rob Sangheon Park of an extra base hit. With a runner on first an inning later, Harlost snagged a hard-hit liner at the mound, tossed to first to get the putout and escape the third unscathed.Later in the fifth after Yoomins blast halved the score, Abbadessa scooped up a grounder that took an awkward bounce and threw to first for final out of the inning.The Mid-Atlantic team is a really good defensive team, South Korean manager Heesu Ji said. Im really proud of my team.Minho Choi struck out with runners on first and second to end the game.Harlost turned toward his dugout on the first-base side but didnt make it there as his teammates rushed out to dogpile on him near the base line.Most of New Yorks players had been on other teams together before. More than half of them were on the team that fell to last years World Series runner-up Red Land in the Mid-Atlantic Region Championship, leaving them one win shy of qualifying for a trip to South Williamsport.It was all of our last years of Little League, Rush said. So its just awesome to know that we all came together to be the best team in the world. Ronald Seikaly Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. Dan Majerle Jersey . According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington. https://www.cheapheatonline.com/317h-dwyane-wade-jersey-heat.html . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. Stitched Heat Jerseys . After Martin Skrtel put the Reds in front from close range at Stamford Bridge after only four minutes, Hazard hit back in the 17th with a superb strike. Etoo gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th. Daryl Macon Jersey . LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Back in the day, before thigh pads came into common use, towels (and a Readers Digest) were pressed into service for leg protection. Even so, this photo (above) of Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe walking out to bat at The Oval in 1930 is surprising with its naked thumbs (and partially exposed fingers) on their left/top hands. The oppositions bowlers werent all that fast - Tim Wall and Alan Fairfax were Australias opening quicks - but the gloves still look more suitable to motorbike-riding than batting in a Test.Even today the thumbs of top-hand gloves arent padded, but the rest of the fingers get solid protection, if you go by MS Dhonis hamburger-style bite here.West Indies keeper Carlton Baughs glove flies off, presumably after he took it off to grab the ball and throw it - just a glimpse of the multitasking that is routinely expected of wicketkeepers.Not only do they multitask, they are also multiskilled. Reserve keeper Chris Read (right) helps mend Alec Stewarts gloves inn Cape Town, 2000.ddddddddddddSometimes even umpires need protection.Brian Lara indulges in some glove love with Runako Morton, Mumbai, 2006. Matthew Hayden had a story about the Australians disdain for such fancy behaviour. He writes in his autobiography: For years, Australian teams had taken the rise out of the glove-touching fad, and to the mirth of the boys, Ricky Ponting became the first one to do it when he batted with Brian Lara in the tsunami game at the MCG. Brian raised his gloves and Ricky had nowhere to go. He knew hed cop it from the rest of us, and he wasnt disappointed. Right then, so youll do it with Lara and the rest of us get brushed - is that the deal, we said.No mirth for Ponting here as England use the delaying tactic of calling for gloves in order to bat out a draw in Cardiff, 2009. Share the (g)love, guys, thats what we say. ' ' '
