The team from Needville, Texas, was just two wins away from a Little League World Series berth in 2021.
Finally holding the lead, Texas shortstop Dalyn Martin, who said he was “nervous the whole game,” laid out for a grounder and threw to first from his knees to end it. Runners were left on second and third.“We’re just gonna keep going and going and going,” McRae said. “It could be 10-0, we’ll still keep going.”
Back in 2021, when the LLWS included only American teams because of the coronavirus pandemic, Needville qualified for the Waco Regionals but was unable to compete because of a player’s positive COVID-19 test. Two years later, the team is in contention to claim the U.S. crown. Easton Benge allowed three hits and struck out six across 6 1/3 shutout innings on Wednesday before Easton Ondruch — who also drove in the game-winning run — gave up one hit over the remaining 2 2/3 innings.
