What happened: The Atlanta players tried the well-known descent during their visit to Williamsport. The hill proved harder to navigate than its appearance suggests.

Why it matters: The pregame stop brings major leaguers into the Little League World Series setting. Sunday’s matchup is the ninth MLB Little League Classic.

What to watch: The Braves shift to Historic Bowman Field for the nationally televised game.
