If Texas wins beats Nevada, it moves to the U.S. final Saturday — the opponent wont be determined until two elimination bracket games are played. Teams from the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania), West (Hawai’i), Southeast (Florida), Metro (New York) regions have all suffered a loss, but can still make the final.
If Texas loses, it heads to the elimination bracket, but would still be just one win from the U.S. final.
MEET THE PLAYERS: Texas roster in 2024 Little League World Series
The LLBWS has two brackets, one for the 10 United States regional champions, and one for the 10 International Regional champions.
Boerne is about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio and 90 miles southwest of Austin. It’s the seat of Kendall County and has a population of more than 20,000.
The Boerne Little League Majors All-Star Team won the Southwest Region on Aug. 6 by beating Louisiana, 6-3, on the strength of a grand slam, according to the Boerne Star.
Texas has only made the finals of the LLWS once since 2001, with Lufkin LL finishing as the tournament runner-up in 2017. The last time Texas won the title was in 1966 with Westbury LL, a team based out of Houston. Last year, the Needville, Texas team lost in the U.S. finals.

FULL LLWS SCHEDULE: Bracket update for Boerne
Nevada, like Texas, is 2-0. The Northwest Region reps first beat the Metro Region (South Shore, New York Little League) on Thursday, 9-1. Henderson Little League then squeaked past Central East Maui Little League on Monday.
With the game tied 2-2 in the sixth inning, two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases for Nevada. Noah Letalu drew the third walk of the inning to bring in the game-winning run. Hawai’i had a baserunner in the sixth, but he was thrown out trying to advance on a drop-third strike, ending the game on a double play. Nevada right-hander Gunnar Gaudin pitched a complete game, allowing nine hits and striking out five.
He will not be able to pitch vs. Texas. Texas will be without its top pitcher vs. Nevada after Julian Hurst dominated Florida for a complete-game victory.
Paseo Verde Little League has allowed just three runs over its last five games, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
No player can toss more than 85 pitches in a day and no player can pitch three days in a row, regardless the number of pitches thrown. Here is how much rest is required for Little Leaguers ages 14 and under:

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A string of deadly crashes in and around Pahrump has prompted Nye County Sheriff Joe McGill to push for more safety measures along dark, sidewalk-free roads.
“The worst penalty is death, if you consider that,” McGill said.
The recent deaths include a single-vehicle rollover on State Route 160 during the morning hours of the last Wednesday in January that killed one person and injured another.
Then, into February, two pedestrians were killed in less than three days.
The first was a 7 p.m. crash on Quarter Horse Avenue. Investigators believe a 2006 Jeep Liberty was driving on the street when it hit a pedestrian, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
A few days later, this last Saturday, state troopers responded to a crash just after sundown at Charleston Park Avenue. A sedan hit a pedestrian, who was also pronounced dead at the scene.
Nevada State Police investigators are still investigating both pedestrian cases before more details are released.
McGill said the recent crashes were enough to spur action.
“When the third one came out, I was sitting at home and watching TV. I looked at my wife and I said, ‘We got to do something about this,’” McGill said.
McGill is responding with a reflective vest giveaway, pointing to limited infrastructure as a possible factor. He noted a lack of street lights off State Route 160 and no sidewalks inside the community.
“The only light that you have is the ambient light from houses and cars so it is really dark,” McGill said.
John Treanor of AAA Nevada said poor visibility can quickly turn dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians.
“It is very easy to be confronted with a situation that you cannot see coming because the visibility might be bad,” Treanor said.
Treanor encouraged pedestrians to carry lights and drivers to be prepared if they end up outside their vehicles in dark conditions.
“Having lights on you. Even carrying a flashlight allows something where a driver can see it,” Treanor said. “If you are a driver, make sure you have the right stuff in your car, in case you do get in a situation where you are on the side of the road and now you are in dark. Make sure you have a kit with some reflectors, some lights. Anything the trunk of your car in case you need it.”
McGill said vigilance is important even in daylight.
“Any time of the day, you have got to be vigilant. You have to keep aware of your surroundings if you are a walker or on a bicycle or if you are the driver,” he said.
Authorities also urged caution as more people may pull off roads in rocky areas along the route toward Death Valley National Park during springtime blooms, increasing the need for drivers and pedestrians to stay alert.
A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.
