Why is Texas playing Nevada?

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.
