🧢 Little League, big feels

Tensions were high as 12-year-old Isaiah Jarvis stepped up to the plate during his team’s Little League World Series qualifying game.

• As the pitch zoomed in, Isaiah couldn’t move out of the way quick enough. The ball hit him on the head, knocking off his helmet as he fell to the ground.

Luckily, Isaiah was okay – he quickly brushed himself off, and proceeded to take first base. However, the opposing pitcher, Kaiden Shelton, was shaken up.

⚾️ Time out… Kaiden’s head hung low as he tried to regain focus and continue pitching. That’s when Isaiah walked right off the base and straight to the pitchers mound, giving Kaiden a hug and reassuring him that everything was alright.

• “It felt like he cared,” Kaiden said when asked about Isaiah’s hug. “I also cared about him, and that just showed that baseball is sportsmanship – there’s a lot of sportsmanship in baseball.”
