You're team is getting creamed.
You've just given up a grand slam home run.
It's an absolute blast to dead center field.

How should you react?

If you're a Little League player who just enjoys playing baseball, there is nothing you can do but admire that blast with a smile on your face.

Good for you, kid. That's how baseball should be played at that level.

That reaction is awesome. Thanks for sharing that. It reminds me of what the kids on both Little League teams did in games I coached when one of our players started going yard. Everybody was jazzed on both sides.

Is it just me or is the kid that hit the grand slam about as big as an 18 year old?

No, they use smaller umps in the Little League World Series.
