Henderson has plenty to cheer about this week as the Paseo Verde Little League All-Stars kicked off their run at the 2026 Little League Baseball World Series (LLBWS) with a thrilling 6-5 victory in their rescheduled opening game. The hard-fought win put the Nevada representatives squarely on the map at one of youth baseball’s most celebrated national stages.

The game, which had been pushed back before finally getting underway, delivered the kind of nail-biting finish that Little League baseball is famous for. Paseo Verde’s squad battled all the way to the final out, edging their opponents by a single run to open the tournament on a high note. Their appearance at the LLBWS has drawn significant attention, with the matchup against Hamilton, Ohio even streaming on Disney+ and generating coverage from outlets including the Las Vegas Review-Journal and FOX5 Vegas.

For the young players, their families, and the broader Henderson community, the moment represents far more than a box score. Reaching the Little League World Series requires winning a series of increasingly competitive district, state, and regional tournaments — a journey that demands months of dedication, teamwork, and heart from players and coaches alike. Paseo Verde’s roster has clearly risen to that challenge.

Henderson has long been a community that rallies around its youth, and this LLBWS run is giving residents yet another reason to come together with pride. Whether watching from Williamsport, Pennsylvania — home of the LLBWS — or tuning in from living rooms across the valley, fans have been following every pitch with enthusiasm.

With the opening win now in the books, Paseo Verde will look to carry that momentum deeper into the tournament bracket. Henderson is firmly behind them every step of the way — go Paseo Verde!
