Wisconsin will have to keep waiting for its first appearance in the Little League World Series.
The Whitefish Bay team kept battling back, as it did throughout the tournament to crown the Midwest representative, but bowed out with a heartbreaking 7-6 loss to a squad from Davenport, Iowa, on Aug. 14 in Whitestown, Indiana.
Iowa will send a team to the Little League World Series for the 16th time, by far the most the Midwest region.
Whitefish Bay had a good chance to be the first Wisconsin team to break through and get to Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
At first, it looked like Bay would be stymied by Davenport starter Cooper Thissen. The left-hander, seen as one of the top prospects in his age group, got his first 13 outs on strikeouts. Bay put the ball into play only three times against Thissen.
