Texas and California meet for a berth in the Little League World Series championship
Texas is the lone undefeated team from the U.S. bracket, but its games have been tight. It took the team from Needville, Texas, nine innings to defeat Washington 1-0 on Wednesday — its third game decided by two runs or fewer. Texas also defeated Pennsylvania 2-1 in the opening round, beat North Dakota 6-2 and won 3-1 against its U.S. championship opponent, California, before knocking off Washington from the winner’s bracket.
