It has been a remarkable week for baseball in Davenport as the Davenport Northwest Little League team has been turning heads — and making history — at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

The team opened the tournament in stunning fashion when pitchers Cooper Thissen and Anthony Johnson Jr. combined to throw a no-hitter against their opponents from the West region, according to the Quad-City Times. A no-hitter in Little League World Series play is an extraordinary feat, and the dominant performance sent a clear message that Davenport Northwest had arrived on the national stage ready to compete.

The momentum did not stop there. A late rally carried the squad into the regional finals, according to the Dispatch Argus, demonstrating the kind of grit and never-quit attitude that makes a team easy to root for. Then, in what KWQC described as a historic win, Davenport Northwest defeated New Jersey in a game that further cemented the team’s place in the record books.

Radio station 98.1 KHAK confirmed that Davenport Northwest continued to make more history at the Little League World Series, though the full details of that latest milestone were still emerging as of Monday morning. Games have been available to watch on Disney+ and ESPN, giving Quad Cities fans near and far a front-row seat to every memorable moment.

For a community that loves its baseball, these young athletes from Davenport Northwest have given the entire Quad Cities region something to celebrate. Their combination of pitching brilliance, clutch hitting, and late-game resilience has captured the imagination of fans across Iowa and beyond. The city of Davenport is cheering loudly — and with very good reason.
