    Pearland Little League faces elimination after tough World Series shutout

    Houston’s beloved Little League World Series stars are in win-or-go home mode after a tough loss on Monday, August 22. Pearland Little League was unable to score a run against Metro-West champs Honolulu in a 6-0 loss.

     

    That means Pearland, the Southwest Region champs, head to the elimination bracket in a Tuesday, August 23 game against Midwest Region champs, Davenport, Iowa. Locals can catch the game at 6 pm Tuesday on ESPN.

     

    A single loss sends the Pearland team home, but if they win out through Thursday, August 25 — and topple Honolulu, who they would face again — the team could still bring home a championship trophy.

     

    “We said, ‘let’s look on the bright side,'” Pearland manager Aaron Cummings told the Houston Chronicle after Monday night’s loss. “We get to play some baseball.”

     

    This is the fourth World Series trip to South Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 12 years for Pearland Little League; the teams is enjoying the support of a small legion of traveling fans, face time in front of ESPN cameras, and a Major League-style experience.

     

    “I’ve always dreamed about coming here, and now that I actually get to see it, it’s pretty cool,” Pearland shortstop/pitcher Jacob Zurek told CultureMap news partner ABC13’s Jonathan Bruce.

     

    Locals still interested in making a road trip to cheer on the team should check out CultureMap columnist Ken Hoffman’s ultimate guide to the Little League World Series here.

    2 Houston-area counties sail to the top of Texas boat owners

    Ahoy, Houston! With access to bodies of water like Lake Conroe, Lake Houston, and the Gulf, it would make sense that Harris County sails into the No. 1 position for the most boat owners in any Texas county.

    Data from Cushman & Wakefield Recreational Property Advisors shows 48,015 boat registrations in Harris County — leaving the state’s 253 other counties in its wake. Tarrant County, anchored by Fort Worth, motors into second place with 28,331 boat registrations. Paddling into third place is Montgomery County, with 27,694 boat registrations. Not only is The Woodlands located in Montgomery County, it is also home to the 21,000-acre Lake Conroe.

    Cushman & Wakefield says 632,306 boats are registered in Texas. That works out to 19.85 boats per 1,000 residents — a rate far below boating-obsessed states like Wisconsin, South Carolina, and Michigan.

    The Discover Boating website calls Texas a “perfect” location for boating, thanks to its more than 3,300 miles of coastline, over 7,000 lakes and reservoirs, and 15 major rivers.

    “With a vast network of boat ramps, docks, and marinas, anyone can enjoy the sport of boating [in Texas] — no matter their experience,” Discover Boating adds. “It’s no wonder so many people own boats … there!”

    According to Cushman & Wakefield, these are the top 13 Texas counties for boat ownership, each with at least 10,000 boat registrations. Only one of the 13 counties is outside a major metro area.

    1. Harris County (Houston) — 48,015
    2. Tarrant County (Fort Worth) — 28,331
    3. Montgomery County (The Woodlands) — 27,694
    4. Dallas County (Dallas) — 24,477
    5. Travis County (Austin) — 24,327
    6. Denton County (Denton) — 20,300
    7. Bexar County (San Antonio) — 18,898
    8. Collin County (McKinney) — 15,997
    9. Galveston County (Galveston) — 14,038
    10. Williamson County (Round Rock) — 12,270
    11. Brazoria County (Pearland) — 10,831
    12. Fort Bend County (Sugar Land) — 10,742
    13. Smith County (Tyler) — 10,182
