Cheering for the Local Kids

texas-world

The Pearland, Texas, Little League Team defeated Washington  7-5 yesterday afternoon to qualify for the US finals of the Little League World Series tomorrow. 

They will meet either the team from Columbus, Georgia, or the team from Hawaii for the US title.  The Georgia kids had defeated Hawaii earlier in the competition, and were considered a lock for the championship, but the scrappy Hawaiians came back to beat them last night, by a score of  7-4.  That means Hawaii and Georgia will play an elimination game later today.

China (Tai Pei) and Japan meet tomorrow to determine the international champs, and the winner will meet the US champions on Sunday for all the marbles.
