Edited OP title to include other games -
Kind of late to start a topic. The team from Phenix City, Alabama is dominating California. They have a 12 year old girl playing catcher tonight. She is also a pitcher.

“Kinley Rasmus pitched a complete-game shutout with three hits allowed, no walks and eight strikeouts to defeat Tennessee 4-0 in the Southeast regional final.
She hit.750, going 6-for-8, during the regional tournament.
Her performance helped Alabama qualify for its first Little League World Series appearance in 27 years.
Kinley is the daughter of former Major League pitcher Cory Rasmus, who pitched for the Angels and Braves.
Her uncle is former MLB outfielder Colby Rasmus, who played for five teams between 2009 and 2018.”

Definitely has good DNA. Any chance Beth can recruit her?

Can someone please tell me why the city is Phenix City? Like even looking at it online, it always looks wrong. Like what happened to the O? Phoenix is a proper city name. Having your city as Phenix seems like someone forgot the O and they never changed the city name and just went with it.

Kinleigh is the preferred travel ball spelling.

I don’t think it’s exaggerating to say she’s the best female to play in the LLWS.

Alabama should’ve won game one against Washington. She went six innings, eight Ks and only gave up one hit. Had a hell of a catch too when she got moved to SS. She came close to hitting a HR last night. Run ruling California might be enough to get Alabama rolling.

Her last two starts against Tennessee and Washington she’s gone 12.0, no runs allowed, 16 Ks. Not sure how Alabama plays it but you have to think she gets the start tomorrow against Pennsylvania.

I’ve watched that reel a dozen times now. Hilarious stuff.

Rasmus is a certified badass. Like a real life Icebox O’Shea.

She tied Mo'nae's strikeout record, plays solid SS, and hits well....I'll take Kinley.

Why?

I genuinely don’t get this fad on Tigerdroppings.. why is every ‘newish’ name considered a travel ball name? Can you explain?

Colby and Cory Rasmus played on the Alabama 1999 LLWS team from Phenix City that won the 'National' LL Title and lost 'World Championship' game to Japan.

I haven't watched any this year. Do the Japanese players still stand on top of the plate?

I do not know. Stand on top of the plate? When and what are you alluding to? With that said I only saw two innings of last night's game with Penn and Alabama.

While today "Phoenix" is the universally accepted spelling for the mythical bird, "Phenix" was a widely recognized variant in the 1800s. When the original Eagle Mill in nearby Columbus, Ga was burned by Union troops in 1865, its owners rebuilt it with the intention of symbolizing a rebirth from the ashes. They officially named the new corporation the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company in 1866. As the mill grew to become the largest textile plant in the South, its specific corporate branding—and its precise spelling—became dominant across the Chattahoochee River valley. During the Reconstruction and Victorian eras, American and British dictionaries, literature, and major newspapers (including the New York Times) frequently used the "Phenix" spelling. When the mill owners named the factory in 1866, they were using a spelling that was completely normal for their time. When the neighboring Alabama town of Brownville decided to change its name in February 1897, the local citizens wanted to honor the massive industrial powerhouse across the river where many of them worked. Rather than using the classic Greek spelling, the city organizers adopted the mill's exact corporate spelling to cement the community's identity.
