Boerne, the representative team from the Southwest region in the Little League World Series, is inching closer to securing a spot in the United States final of the renowned tournament. With two wins under their belt, Boerne has proven their dominance on the field, only allowing their opponents to score a single run thus far.

In their first LLWS matchup against Newtown, Pennsylvania, Boerne triumphed with an impressive 9-0 victory. The game reached its crescendo in the fifth inning when Kole Newson hit a grand slam, solidifying Boerne's lead. Notably, starting pitcher Caden Guffey, who had previously hit a solo home run, showcased his prowess by allowing only two hits and striking out three Newtown players in just two innings pitched. Ace pitcher Julian Hurst was a force to be reckoned with, recording ten strikeouts during the match. Boerne outshined Newtown with a hefty 12-2 hit count.

The team's momentum carried through to their next game against Lake Mary, Florida, in the U.S. Little League World Series bracket quarterfinals. Boerne emerged victorious with a 4-1 win, largely thanks to the exceptional pitching skills of Hurst, who struck out ten batters in a complete game. Boerne's significant breakthrough occurred in the third inning, scoring two runs and taking advantage of Lake Mary's defensive struggles after their ace pitcher left the mound.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Boerne all-stars are set to face off against the Henderson, Nevada team in a thrilling bout. Both teams have a flawless record in the LLWS, with two wins and zero losses. The high stakes match will determine which team can maintain their undefeated status in the tournament. Notably, a loss for either squad would not result in immediate elimination.

Henderson's path to this crucial game has also been commendable. While being outhit by Wailuku, Hawaii, in their previous game, Henderson showcased resilience and held onto a tight 3-2 victory. Their standout performance came in a convincing 9-1 win against Staten Island last week.

Sports enthusiasts can catch the highly anticipated matchup between Boerne and Henderson at 2 p.m. CST on ESPN. Both teams' determination to secure a place in the LLWS final promises a gripping and exhilarating game that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
