Summary
A five-run second inning and four-run fifth carried Nevada to a 12-2 run-rule win over Ohio's Hamilton West Side in the Little League World Series U.S. final.
Nevada seized control after Ohio briefly tied it 1-1, then piled up 13 hits while turning three double plays to blunt the tournament's highest-scoring offense.
The loss ended Hamilton West Side's five-game elimination-bracket streak, which followed a 6-5 walk-off defeat to Nevada in their tournament opener.
Nevada claimed its second straight U.S. championship and will face Curaçao in Sunday's world title game, while Ohio meets Japan in the third-place game.
