LIVE: Follow updates, highlights from Texas vs. California in LLWS United States final
The United States side of the LLWS bracket wraps action on Saturday, as it all comes down to Texas against California in the U.S. final at Williamsport.
Texas (Southwest) is a perfect 4-0 at the tournament, including a win over California (West) already. The team has been powered by its dominant pitching, allowing just four runs so far at the competition. A dramatic 1-0 victory over Washington on Wednesday propelled the Needville Little League group to the final.
On the other side, California has won three consecutive elimination games after dropping its previous matchup against Texas. The group is led by Louis Lappe, a 6-1 two-way threat who has terrorized pitchers in this tournament. Most recently, the El Segundo Little League crew eliminated Washington 2-1 on Thursday to set up a rematch with Texas.
The victor this time advances to the LLWS championship against Curacao (Caribbean) on Sunday.
