PA = Plate Appearances. I.E. total batters sent to the plate by the team.
* Actual Innings column: Integer Inning
(Fractional inning if not the same)
For Fractional inning:
N (no decimal): Inning ended with final out in the bottom of the inning
(Visiting team wins)
N.5: Inning ended with final out in the top of the inning (Home team wins)
N.6: No outs in the bottom of the inning when the winning run scored (Home team
wins)
N.7: 1 out in the bottom of the inning when the winning run scored (Home team
wins)
N.9: 2 out in the bottom of the inning when the winning run scored (Home
team wins)
"winning run" could be home team going up by 1 or more runs in the bottom of the
7th or later inning, or run which causes the 10 run rule (5th or 6th inning) to take
effect.
Following the "winning run", any run that scores in the play does not count
unless the ball was hit over the fence as a home run (in which case all runs
count assuming they come around and score).
B7 = Bottom of the 7th win.
All times are PDT (Pacific Daylight time) which is UTC-7.

2014 Umpire Jerseys: some games Black, some games Light Blue
See this page on the Little League website for the Umpire selection process. Umpires are volunteers. They stay at the same hotel as the players.
There is an Umpire section on the Photos site for the World Series. It is organized per game. I take photos of umpires making calls throughout the world series. These will be posted in the normal photo galleries for each game, then just the photos showing umpires will be copied to the Umpire section. This might occur slightly later, as there are only so many hours in the day.
World Series stats and Information per year
This Section has be moved to a separate
web page. (Click Here)
With columns for each year, it became too wide, and made the entire web page
difficult to view from a phone.
General Intermediate stats |
|
Distance between bases | 70 feet |
Distance, Pitchers rubber to the plate | 50 feet |
Team sizes | Typically 14 players, but can be fewer. |
Innings played | 7 |
Age Group | 11-13 year olds |
Max runs per inning | no limit. |
10 Run Rule | If a team is behind by 10 or more runs after they have batted in the 5th
inning the game is over. If a team achieves a 10 run lead in the bottom of the 5th or 6th inning, the game is over. If a team achieves a 10 run lead in the top of the 5th, 6th, or 7th inning, the bottom of that inning is played and the game will end at the end of that inning if the lead is still 10 or more runs. |
Max Baer 1 Specifics |
|
Distance from the plate to the outfield fence | About 260 feet (Max Baer 1 distance) |
Outfield Fence Height | About 10 feet (Max Baer 1 distance). |
Fence | The field is completely surrounded by a chain link fence about 10 feet high. It is much higher behind the plate (see photo below). |
Dogs | Dogs are NOT permitted. However, there is a dog park 60 feet beyond the Left Field fence with a view of the games. |
Bull Pens | Bull pens are down the 1st and 3rd base lines. |
Name of the Park | Max Baer Park is named for the boxer Max Baer. Born in 1909, his family moved to Livermore when he was 15. He became the Heavyweight Champion of the World in 1934. His son, Max Baer Jr. is an actor, director, and producer known mainly for playing Jethro Bodine on The Beverly Hillbillies. Max Baer Sr. also did some acting. While in Livermore, he lived in a house that is within the current park, near where the pre-school building is now, by Max Baer 2 field, on Murdell Lane. |
Some basic rules |
|
Playing off, stealing | Playing off and stealing are permitted. |
On Deck Batter | On-deck batters are allowed. |
Substitution | There is unlimited substitution (a player may go back in after exiting
the game). There are rules about where they can be inserted in the batting order. I.E. you can't keep batting a player over and over. |
Special Pinch Runner | One Special Pinch Runner (SPR) may be used by each team each inning. A Special Pinch Runner may run for another player who is on base. |
Pitch count limits | 13 year olds are limited to 95 pitches. 11-12 year olds are
limited to 85 pitches. If they reach the limit during a batter, they
may finish the batter. Pitchers must also observe days of rest until they may pitch again based on the following table: 1-20 pitches thrown: 0 days rest (may pitch the next day) 21-35 pitches thrown: 1 days rest 36-50 pitches thrown: 2 days rest 51-65 pitches thrown: 3 days rest 66 or more pitches thrown: 4 days rest If a pitcher reaches a specific limit while facing a batter, he may finish the batter and still be considered to be within the range. A pitcher removed from the mound may return provided that he has played a different defensive position since pitching (was not removed from the game). He can return only once. A player who has played as catcher for 4 or more innings may not pitch that day. |
Minimum # of games | All teams will play a minimum of 3 games. Some team's 3rd game may be a "Goodwill Game", having already been eliminated. |
Goodwill Games | Two Goodwill games are played. These games assure that every team will play at least 3 games. Both games pair a US team against an International teams. These are the ONLY games other than the Championship game to have a US team play an International team. |
What to expect / Fan Guide |
|
Seating | There are bleachers for about 600 people. Attendance varies based on the game, but the Championship game had about 6650 people attending. Bring lawn chairs or blankets for viewing from the outfield. Outfield viewing had a casual festive atmosphere. It is where It took most of my photos from last year, and provides excellent viewing. The outfield area in dead center field is blocked off so that the batter and catcher have a neutral background and are not distracted. |
Weather | Rain is HIGHLY UNLIKELY. Rain is very rare in Livermore in the
summer. The rainy season is in the winter. It just forgot to
show up this past winter. Temperature: Highs are generally in the mid 80s to high 90s, and sometimes over 100F. Lows are generally in the high 50s to low 60s. For the 7:30 games, it will cool off considerably by the end of the game. Humidity: low. It's great. Livermore, like most of California is currently in a drought. The baseball field itself will be green, but the rest of the grass in the park will be somewhat "golden" brown. The hills that surround Livermore get that way every year. Hence the "Golden State". |
Photography | Photography can be done through the outfield fence with good results.
I took most of my photos from there last year (see
photos of the 2013 finals here). There is a standard chain link
fence all the way around the field, which can be a little challenging for
photographing, but I had pretty good results last year. |
Official Photography | In 2014 I was the official photographer. My photos of every game are available for viewing here. They may be downloaded at no charge. Prints may be purchased at my cost (what is charged by the photo sharing service I use). You may also have prints made from downloaded images at your favorite photo printing service. |
What you may bring |
|
NOT permitted: |
|
Stealing | With the 70 foot bases, stealing is easier than in 80s or 90s. However, at the higher levels of play, while common, it does not happen as often as you would think. This is the shortest base distance where stealing is permitted. |
Home Runs | They definitely happen, but it is very much based on the skill of the pitcher vs. the batter. Many games occur without any home runs, but I have taken photos of players hitting home runs on this field. The 2013 Intermediate world series had about 3 home runs, and at least one ball that hit the very top of the fence. |
Foul Balls in the stands | Foul balls will definitely go into the stands. Be alert, as you
would be at an MLB game. Never grab the fence with your fingers through. Foul tips and foul balls travel at a very high rate at this level. |
First game on the upgraded field in 2013.
Bill Nale of eLivermore.com was the official photographer of the
2014 Little League® Intermediate World Series.
I am one of the many volunteers at the World Series.
As a volunteer, my photos are provided at no cost. You may download the
full resolution photos from the photo site for free.
Prints and other items may be purchased from the site, at my cost. I use a
site called SmugMug. Their rates are reasonable.
It is likely cheaper and faster to download the photos and have them printed at
your favorite location, however.
Photos of all games are displayed in albums on eLivermore.com's
photo
gallery site.
Photos from all previous years are still on the site.
Note that between the 2024 LLIWS and the 2025 LLIWS I have switched photo sites.
The photos are now on SmugMug.
The previous provider provided very poor performance in
showing older year's albums. Sometimes they would never load.
Through late July of 2024, the old site will still
exist at:
https://elivermore.zenfolio.com/lliws
You may use the photos for your own personal use, including on social media. Teams may use the photos on their team websites, etc.
I take photos at all of the games, and of events around the
fields.
I generally will provide photos of every at bat of every game, although I do
miss a few. I take about 1500 photos per game, and choose about 600 to put
on the photo site.
I will also get photos of each team under the scoreboard.
To download an individual photo:
Go to the photo and hit the Dowload icon, which might be below the
photo, or to the left.
Photo should download immediately.
To download an entire gallery:
Go to the gallery that you want to download.
Hit the Download icon, which is generally above the photo icons.
The full gallery will be put in a ZIP file, allowing you to
download it.
SmugMug will ask for your email address, and will send you an email
with the download link when the ZIP file is ready.
If this is the first time that you are downloading a gallery, it
will ask you to verity your email address first.
To Purchase photos on the Photo Gallery site (https://elivermore.smugmug.com/LLIWS):
Feel free to have prints made elsewhere by
downloading the photos.
This may be quicker and cheaper.
