Maddox Burr - Kentucky 3B
Nicknames that aren't really nicknames
South Carolina
Kip Johnson - "Kipper"
Braden Buffington - "Buff"
Bradley Lewis - "B-Rad"
Kentucky
Tayshaun Jones - "Tay"
And let's not forget Karl Ravech

Quite a day for Emmanuel Rodriguez, the center fielder for the Dominican Republic. Rodriguez hit a pair of solo home runs and went 4-for-4 in DR's 7-3 victory in a consolation game. In three tournament games, Rodriguez went 5 for 6 with four walks in 10 plate appearances.
* During the top of the third, commentator Kyle Peterson said "get on board the bacon train", and we obviously can't let him get away with that.

Little League World Series opening round
August 21 at Volunteer Stadium in Williamsport, PA
ESPN
The first little league game of the year here at 300 Game Season and it was an excellent one. Daniel Zaragoza was dominant on the mound, then delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the sixth as Mexico won 1-0.
New Webb Bobo All Star Raul Leon started the sixth with a triple and scored the winning run when Zaragoza slapped a single through the hole between third base and shortstop.
Canada starter Matt Wilkinson was also outstanding, striking out 16 in just five innings.
* Prior to the top of the first, ESPN was going through the Canadian lineup and each player was saying who his favorite MLB player. One player's reply: Justin Smoak.
Justin Smoak?!
Are you his son/his nephew/a member of his boy scout troop?!
I understand Canadian baseball fans cheer for the Bluejays, but JUSTIN SMOAK?
