It's the perfect championship game matchup at the Little League World Series. 

Curacao went unbeaten through the international bracket and the Mountain Region champions from Henderson, Nevada, did the same on the U.S. side, setting up a much-anticipated showdown in Sunday's final. 

Nevada's only close game in the tournament was its opener, a walk-off 6-5 squeaker of the Great Lakes representative from Hamilton, Ohio. Those two got reacquainted in the U.S. bracket final with Nevada rolling to a 12-2 mercy-rule win in five innings. 

A year after a different Nevada Little League reached the final, Henderson will try to bring home the state's first championship Sunday, while Curacao will look to do the same. The islanders are in the final for the fourth time in seven tournaments but have yet to take the hardware.

Will this be their year? Here's when and where to watch.
