Texas batted first and scored 181 runs in their batting stint and only 6 of their players got out, so they were 181 for 6. LA only got 112 runs and all* of their players got out, all out for 112. The score was thus 181/6 to 112 and Texas won by 69 runs.
In this form of cricket there's only one inning. So one team bats and then the other team bats. Players keep on batting until they're out. But in 20-20 there's a hard limit of 20 overs. Each over has 6 legal balls bowled (pitched). So you face 120 balls total, unless you're all out first.
So cricket's a big chase. The first team batting puts up a total and the second team tries to chase it down before being all out or running out of overs.
Compare to where Washington put up 144/7 first (144 runs, 7 outs/wickets). Then Seattle chased it down in 19.4 overs 144/5. In that case it's said that Seattle won by 5 wickets, because they stop batting once they chase the total down. More important here is the 19.4 overs - they chased it down with only 2 balls remaining in the last over so it was a really close call.
