SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Everything seemed to be going Texas’ way.
The Southwest region champ was ahead 4-0 over Florida in the third inning Saturday in the U.S. bracket title game at the Little League World Series. Starting pitcher Julian Hurst hadn’t given up a hit, much less a run, and had beaten the team from Florida last Monday.
Then things got crazy. Three lead changes later, Florida is headed to LLWS championship on Sunday. Luis Calo hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning as Lake Mary, Florida, beat Boerne, Texas, 10-7 in a semifinal matchup.
“We’ve prepared for this, we’ve worked for this,” manager Jonathan Anderson said. “It’s been our summer.”
