TRENDING NOW: Beaned Little League batter consoles upset pitcher

Talk about sportsmanship.

At a Little League playoff game in Waco, Texas this week, a pitcher hit the batter right in the head when the toss got away from him.

The batter shook off the beaning, and took first base but noticed the pitcher was in tears.

He walked over, gave him a hug and said: "Hey, you’re doing great. Let’s go."

The crowd was so moved it rose for a standing ovation.
