Florida rallied to a wild 10-7 win over Texas on Saturday and will represent the United States in the Little League championship game against Taiwan.
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Luis Calo hit a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning as Lake Mary, Florida, beat Boerne, Texas, 10-7 on Saturday in a wild game that sent the Southeast region representative to the Little League World Series championship.
Florida will take on Taiwan, a 4-1 winner over Venezuela, on Sunday afternoon. It will be the first appearance by a Florida team in the title game since 2003, when East Boynton Beach fell 10-1 to Musashi-Fuchi of Japan. Texas seemed in control after Doc Mogford hit a two-run double past the outstretched glove of Jacob Bibaud, making it 4-0 in the third inning.At that point, Florida had not scored a run or had a hit. It finished with 10 of each, and the lead changed three times in the final two innings.But Jacob Bibaud hit a ground ball that bounced through the infield, bringing in James Feliciano and cutting the lead to 7-6. A sacrifice fly from Liam Morrisey brought in Garrett Rohozen to tie the score.
After Luis smacked his go-ahead hit, Liam -- in as a courtesy runner -- stole third and went to score when an error left the ball loose down the third base line.
