On Sunday, the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees faced off in the seventh iteration of the Little League Classic in Williamsport and put on quite the show. The Tigers walked off the Yankees in extra innings in a cool comeback win in front of many young ballplayers in town for the Little League World Series.
Yankees closer Clay Holmes blew a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth, allowing Jace Jung to knock in the tying run with two outs. New York went up 2-1 in the top of the 10th but Mark Leiter Jr. wasn't able to hold the lead and Detroit scored two runs in the bottom of the frame to win it. After Parker Meadows' game-winning hit, his Tigers teammates mobbed him as fireworks soared into the Pennsylvania air and the Yankees trudged off the diamond.
