A Goodletsville Little League team knocked off a Texas squad last night to head to the U.S. Championship game in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Down by one, Goodletsville scored two runs in the final inning, then put away Texas with a double play, which got slow motion treatment on ESPN. Goodletsville now plays for the U.S. Championship Saturday afternoon. A win would take the Little League team to the World Championship on Sunday.
