South Carolina rallies to walk-off win and stay alive in LLWS US championship

South Dakota carried a 1-0 lead into the seventh and moved ahead to 2-1 on a one-out run. A Connor Felderman line drive for the second out seemed to end the rally, but South Dakota added four two-out runs to stretch the lead to 6-1.
South Carolina answered with a furious bottom-of-the-seventh rally. Three runs before the first out, a bases-loaded walk cut the gap to 6-4. Brady Westbrooks drew another bases-loaded walk to make it 6-5, setting the stage for Andrew Bogan to drive the ball down the right-field line for the walk-off win as the team celebrated on the field.

This comeback shows how in youth baseball, a game can flip in a single inning and redefine a season. It highlights patience, selective hitting, and the power of taking advantage of every at bat when pressure climbs.
The moment also spotlights the role of small programs in the LLWS ecosystem. A late surge can lift a town and ripple through a community long after the scoreboard fades.
