Silverado captured the 11-12 Nevada State Little League Tournament defeating Carson City 9-6 on Monday night.
Silverado defeated Carson twice in the tournament, winning a 15-14 game on Friday.
On Sunday, Carson kept its season alive behind solid pitching from Kyle Krebs. Krebs tossed a complete game, earning the 4-3 win. He struck out seven without allowing a walk.
Carson jumped out to a 2-0 lead when Jayden DeJoseph walked and then scored on a two-run home run by Jace Keema. Cheyenne cut the lead with a run in the third inning. Krebs would add the deciding runs with his own two-run homer to score DeJoseph, who had walked.
Krebs would hold off the defending two-time state champions.
