Description


---
This was shot in the 9th inning of the championship game of the 2012 Carpenter Cup Classic, in the Phillies' Stadium.
-----
This boy's team had just left three men on base in the 8th inning, pretty much killing their chances to tie the game.
----
There would be no Championship joy, as the Team, which had been STELLAR went down one-two-three in the Ninth.
-----
The boy is gazing up at the scoreboard here.
