In a thrilling rematch for the U.S. championship at the Little League World Series, Florida defeated Texas 10-7, securing a spot in the final against Taiwan, the international champion. Texas, represented by Boerne Little League, had previously beaten Florida in the tournament, but Florida's resilience led them to this victory. Star pitcher Julian Hurst from Boerne had an impressive tournament, accumulating 20 strikeouts, but Florida's offense found a way to break through. This year's tournament marked a significant achievement for Boerne, a team that had never previously reached the state championship. Florida advances to face Taiwan, which seeks its first LLWS title since 1996, while Texas ends its remarkable run as the Southwest champion.
