The Louisiana team hopped out to an early lead in the bottom of the second inning with an RBI double, but the Boerne players were not phased.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Doc Mogford drilled a go-ahead grand slam to left field to help Boerne storm back. Boerne scored six straight runs to close the inning.
Starting pitcher Julian Hurst recorded 10 strikeouts in the win for Boerne, holding Louisiana to just three hits all game.
Once the victory was secured after the final out, Boerne’s coaches and players ran out onto the field, embraced each other, and showed excitement while the crowd cheered.
The Texas West team was crowned Southwest Regional Champions with the win.
Boerne will go on to play the Mid-Atlantic Regional Champions on Thursday, Aug. 15, in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
