Davenport Northwest hammered by Nevada at Little League World Series

Davenport Northwest rolled the dice during its Aug. 26 Little League World Series game against Nevada, and the gamble backfired.

Iowa pitcher Cooper Thissen was in control through 3 2/3 innings Wednesday, striking out 10 batters and allowing no hits or runs. His coaches elected to take him out of a scoreless game to keep him eligible for Sunday's LLWS championship game, and Nevada took full advantage.
