Tennessee hit a grand slam in the first inning that shook things up, in which Pearland never recovered.
Pearland’s Manager Aaron Cummings told KPRC 2 that the team will likely return to Houston on Saturday but official plans are not set yet.
“Every kid on that team through this journey affected that team in a positive way,” parent John Kahn said. “Tonight wasn’t our night. And that’s gonna happen. That’s okay.”
Little Leaguer Jacob Zurek said, “It’s been super fun. I’m glad for the experience with my team. And sad it’s over but let’s move on.”
