Biloxi entered Sunday on the brink of elimination from the Little League Baseball Southwest Regional in Waco, Texas. One more loss in pool play and the dream of a trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the Little League World Series was over.

After losing Game 1 Friday night to Texas West, Biloxi knew today's game against Tulsa was a must win.

Biloxi broke things open in the top of the 4th. Trent Gill scored on a fielder's choice and Tyler Roch scored on a passed ball. They added another run in the fifth on a Mason Berkowitz solo home-run. Biloxi held on to win 3-2.
