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).
All times are PDT (Pacific Daylight time) which is UTC-7.

12 | Khaku Dudoit | 12 | West | Hit the yellow plastic at the top of the fence, denting it. See below. |
This is how close the Honorable Mention was.
The ball made a dent in the yellow plastic on the top of the fence.
The dent is still there.
A few inches higher and it would have bounced over.

2016 Umpire Jerseys: Light Blue
See this page on the Little League website for the Umpire selection process. Umpires are volunteers. Starting in 2015, they receive a $400 travel stipend to help offset the costs for them to attend the World Series. They stay at the same hotel as the players.
There is a 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.

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 900 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. 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 night 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 in 2013 (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 in 2013. | |||
Official Photography | In 2016 I am once again an official photographer. My photos of every game will be available for viewing on this website. 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.
