Overview

Click Here for the eLivermore.com Photo Site

The Little LeagueŽ Intermediate World Series was held at Max Baer Park in Livermore California from July 30 through August 5, 2013.
This is the first year of the Intermediate World Series.
Note: This page is provided by eLivermore.com. This is NOT the official website for the World Series. Click here for the official website.

The Intermediate Division consists of ages 11 to 13, but will mostly be 13 year olds.
The division is also knows as "50/70" as the distance from the pitching rubber to the plate is 50 feet, and the distance between the bases is 70 feet.
Rules are very similar to the Jr. 80s Division (80 feet between bases) in that playing off and stealing bases are allowed.

Note that the more well known Little LeagueŽ World Series is the "Majors" world series held in Williamsport, PA in August.

Color Key:
International Bracket Game	US Bracket Game	Goodwill or Exhibition Game	World Championship Game

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.

Note: The US and International Championship games are single elimination, even though one of the teams enters with 1 loss and other with 0 losses.
There is NOT an "if necessary" game if the team from the elimination bracket wins. The winner of the Championship games goes on to the finals.

Distance, Pitchers rubber to the plate	50 feet
Team sizes	Typically 14, 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. Three team's 3rd game may be a "Goodwill Game", having already been eliminated. Originally a US team might have played only two games, but an additional Goodwill game has been added which prevents this.
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
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
