Major setback for Utah team at LLWS

Easton Oliverson pictured above played outfield and pitched for Snowy Mountain Little League team out of Utah. He was a major contributor to his team's success to getting to the Little League World Series.

Easton was never able to play one inning in the tournament that every little league player dreams of and works so hard to get too. Young Easton was sleeping in the dorms like everyone else when he fell out of the top bunkbed and fractured his skull and cheek bone. Had his teammate not heard him fall and alerted adults this story may have a different ending.

Young Easton only twelve was taken by ambulance to the hospital, then airlifted to a nearby Childrens hospital. After having surgery to remove a piece of bone that was causing bleeding, during the night he pulled out his feeding tube.

He asked his father what day it was, and his dad told him, Easton wanted to go play in the World Series Tournament that he had worked so hard to achieve. His father told him he had already been replaced on the team roster. Easton became upset at hearing this news. His dad said meet your replacement and in walked his little brother Brogan.
