A day after celebrating on the field, the Boerne Little League baseball team said it plans to compete in the 2026 Little League World Series despite twists and turns off the field.

Boerne received stellar pitching to defeat the Ascension Parish team from Gonzales, Louisiana, 4-1 Monday in Waco.

Approximately an hour before Monday's game, Little League International announced that the team from Tulsa, Oklahoma, was disqualified from competition after using an ineligible player.
