{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two Little League baseball players had no idea their heartwarming display of sportsmanship would go viral, amassing millions of views after being shared on Twitter.
During the Little League World Series Southwest Regional Championship, Oklahoma player Isaiah Jarvis was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Texas East's Kaiden Shelton.
Jarvis immediately fell to the ground but was able to get up and walk to first base. Although he was OK, Shelton was visibly shaken. That's when Jarvis did the unexpected.

"So I got on to first, and then I saw Kaiden getting emotional on the mound a little bit," Jarvis told "America Reports" Wednesday. "So I wanted to go out there and try to give him comfort… I wanted him to know that I was OK and I will be OK."
The pair then shared a hug on the mound before returning to the game.

Jarvis called the clip's popularity "pretty crazy" while Shelton added their parents are "very proud" of them.
