Nevada beat Connecticut 8-2 in the Little League World Series semifinal on Saturday, setting up a title game against Taiwan on Sunday.

Garrett Gallegos homered and pitched five strong innings to lead Nevada to the win.

Grayson Miranda had a key at-bat in Nevada’s three-run first inning. With the bases loaded and an 0-2 count, Miranda fouled off several pitches. After a wild pitch let in Nevada’s first run, Grayson — on the at-bat’s 12th pitch — drove in two more with a single into right field.

Down 4-2 in the fifth, the Fairfield, Connecticut, team put runners on first and second with one out. But Ben Herbst, rounding third, got caught in a rundown. Garrett then recorded his eighth strikeout, ending the inning.
