**Nevada Advances to Little League World Series Final with 8-2 Victory**
In an exciting semifinal match of the Little League World Series, Nevada triumphed over Connecticut with an 8-2 score on Saturday, paving the way for a championship showdown against Taiwan on Sunday. Garrett Gallegos played a pivotal role in the victory, contributing both a home run and five solid innings on the mound.
The game began with a strong performance from Nevada, highlighted by Grayson Miranda’s crucial at-bat during a three-run first inning. With the bases loaded and an 0-2 count, Miranda demonstrated remarkable resilience, fouling off multiple pitches. Following a wild pitch that allowed Nevada to score its first run, Miranda delivered a two-run single to right field on the 12th pitch of his at-bat.
As the game progressed, Connecticut found itself trailing 4-2 in the fifth inning, managing to place runners on first and second with one out. However, a critical rundown involving Ben Herbst at third base halted their momentum. Gallegos then struck out his eighth batter, effectively ending the inning and maintaining Nevada’s lead.
In the sixth inning, Nevada extended its advantage by adding four more runs, with Cutter Ricafort’s two-run single standing out as a highlight.
In the international semifinal held at Lamade Stadium, Taiwan secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Aruba, thanks to Liu Wei-Heng’s impressive 5 1/3 innings of shutout pitching. The only run of the game was scored in the third inning after Chen Shi-Hong earned a walk, advanced on a passed ball and a single, and ultimately crossed home plate due to an errant throw from Aruba’s third baseman.
As Nevada prepares for its first title attempt, Taiwan aims to capture its 18th championship, seeking redemption after losing the title game to Florida last year.
