2009 Little League Base Ball
Semi-Final Game
Team Southeast versus Team West
ESPN at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Savings Time




Team West - Chula Vista, California

Team Southeast, Warner Robins, Georgia

I suspect that almost every television set in Middle Georgia and all sets in Warner Robins will be tuned to ESPN at 8:00 P. M. this evening as the twelve young men from Warner Robins take on the twelve young men from Chula Vista, California in a Semi-Final Game of the 2009 Little League World Series from Williamsport, PA.
I believe that everyone will recall the 2007 World Championship Game where the young men from the Same Little League Association in Warner Robins won the World Title and how they displayed true Sportsmanship to the young men from Japan as the team from the Southeast U. S. A. became the World Champions in Williamsport, PA.
This evenings game promises to be an interesting game to watch. I remain impressed with all the teams from the U. S. A. and from around the World. The Human Interest stories that the ESPN staff have obtained from the players has certainly increased the interest of viewing the games. Additionally these efforts has allowed everyone in the World to appreciate the fact that no matter what country you are from, that baseball and young men playing the game crosses all barriers.

In a well played game the young men from Warner Robins, Georgia displayed awesome sportsmanship and certainly represented them selves, their families, their community, their state and the Southeast Region very well.

Unfortunately the young men from Chula Vista, California out performed them in the last inning.

Congratulations and Well Done to these fine young men from Warner Robins, Georgia. You certainly can be proud of your accomplishments and your 2009 record.
