Texas’ comeback fell short Friday in the Little League World Series. Boerne was down 2-1 early against Washington but tied the game and almost took the lead late but was thrown out at home twice in a 4-3 loss. Despite the defeat, Texas plays again Monday afternoon and can stay alive if they beat Ohio, from the Great Lakes region. Ohio opened its LLWS with a 6-5 loss to the Mountain Region winner, Nevada. But boys from Hamilton kept their season alive with a 10-0 win over Massachuttes. Follow along here for live scoring updates of Monday’s game, Southwest vs. Great Lakes:Texas vs West Side LL: Live updates from 2026 LLWS This information will be filled in when the game begins. West Side LL lineupThis information will be filled in when the game begins. Boerne LL lineupKase Yarbrough, PWalker Yost, SSMerritt Cude, 1BCase Greco, CFChandler Schramek, CCarson Patrick, 3BKasen Martinez, LFPreston BairdAnders Paulson, RFLawson Belden, 2BLyle FisherBoone BlalockHow does the Little League World Series work?The LLWS is made up of 20 teams with 10 from the United States and 10 international teams.
