Paseo Verde from Henderson, Nevada, is absolutely tearing it up at the Little League World Series. These West Coasters have been on a rampage, outscoring opponents 25-12 across their first three matches and punching their ticket to the U.S. championship. They are looking to extend their Williamsport journey even further, and honestly, based on how they’ve played, it feels like they could totally pull it off.
No One Can Stop This Mountain Region Squad
Paseo Verde didn’t just stumble into Williamsport. They rolled through their district and state tournaments, then went undefeated in the Mountain regional in San Bernardino, California. Five straight wins there, no sweat. After that, they blitzed through the Great Lakes, Northwest, and Midwest representatives to land their spot in the U.S. Championship. This team is legit, full of gifted talents, and they’ve shown it at every single step.
Carsynn Meyer Is Ready to Make LLWS History
But here’s the kicker: this squad is spearheaded by Carsynn Meyer, one of only two girls playing in this year’s LLWS. If Paseo Verde clinches the LLWS championship, it would be the first time a girl has been on a winning team in the Little League final since Sayaka Tsushima did it with Japan back in 1998. That’s nearly three decades! Manager Cory Edwards gets it, telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “I know she likes the attention in terms of being an inspiration to the kids all over the country, or the world. You don’t see a lot of girls out here playing baseball. Her love for baseball just gives her the passion to be that inspiration.” You just gotta love that!
Meet the Team Making Nevada Proud
This Paseo Verde roster is deep, rocking 13 players who can pretty much play anywhere. Guys like Adrian Cruz, Peyton Guzman, and Brooks McFarland are making plays, with Logan Edwards, son of manager Cory Edwards, also a key part of the lineup. The whole coaching staff is led by fathers too, including Bill Senne and Lynn Cowley. Nevada has never had an LLWS champion before, with two previous teams finishing as runner-ups. This Paseo Verde crew has the chance to totally make state history.
So, these kids from Henderson are gearing up for the U.S. Championship game. They’ve got the talent, the momentum, and a shot at bringing home Nevada’s first-ever LLWS title. Talk about high stakes! Let’s see if they can finish this incredible run.
