Southern Nevada rallies behind Paseo Verde Little League
- On Wednesday, the Mountain Region's Paseo Verde Little League team representing Nevada secured a 14-6 victory over the Midwest Region's Iowa squad in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, advancing in the Little League World Series after an explosive late-game offensive performance.
- Iowa manager Mark Erwin pulled starting pitcher Cooper Thissen after 65 pitches to keep him eligible for Sunday's title game, but the strategic move backfired as Nevada immediately scored four runs in the fourth inning.
- Nevada manager Cory Edwards credited his team's success to crafty baserunning rather than power, noting Nevada scored nine runs with two outs over the last two games, including five against Iowa.
- Despite trailing 14-0 going into the final frame, the Midwest Region mounted a dramatic six-run comeback attempt in the bottom of the sixth, though the deficit proved too large to overcome.
- Nevada advances to face Ohio in the U.S. championship game Saturday at 3:30 p.m. CT, while Iowa must play an elimination game at 8 a.m. CT to remain in the tournament.
