When will Texas play in the U.S. championship game at the Little League World Series?

Needville’s Little League baseball team continued their unbeaten streak in the Little League World Series beating Seattle, Wash., in a thrilling 1-0 victory in extra innings.

Needville took the lead in the top of the ninth inning with a sacrifice fly that scored the only run of the game.

Texas will make its first appearance in the U.S. title game since 2017.

The victory sends Needville to the U.S. Championship game to play El Segundo, Calif. who they beat 3-1, earlier in the tournament.

Needville will play El Segundo in the U.S. Championship at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and can be watched on ESPN App and streamed on ESPN.

A win in the U.S. title game would earn it a trip to the World Series championship against the International champion on Sunday, Aug. 27 at 2 p.m.
