The Metro region team earned its spot by beating Summerlin 7-3.

Nevada took a 3-0 lead in the 1^st inning thanks to a 3-run home run by Cache Malan, Malan becoming just the second player with multiple HR in this year's LLWS.

Metro got on the board with three runs in the 3^rd to tie the game. The All-Stars gave up another run in the 5th to allow Metro to take a 4-3 lead, and Connecticut brought in three more runs in the 6th.

Thursday's game is shaping up to be a redemption rematch as the All-Stars previously beat the Southeast region team by edging South Carolina 1-0 in extra innings on Monday.

First pitch is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN.
