Canada has pulled off another upset at the Little League World Series. <\/p>\n
The Canadians stunned the favoured South Korea with a 5-1 win on Tuesday in an elimination game.<\/p>\n
Canada, represented by Vancouver’s Little Mountain, got off to a hot start with four runs in the top of the first inning. <\/p>\n
With a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the fourth, Canadian pitcher Kian\u00a0Sandhu\u00a0was able to escape a bases-loaded jam to preserve the lead. Sandhu then had to escape another bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the sixth with the tying run at the plate.<\/p>\n
Jean Ramos earned the win for Canada, pitching two innings of one-hit ball, allowing a run on four walks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The win Tuesday was a little bit of revenge for the Canadians, as they fell 7-0 to South Korea in the tournament opener. <\/p>\n
Canada will move on to face Japan on Wednesday with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line. It’s the first time a Canadian team has advanced this far at the Little League World Series since 2017.<\/p>\n
Tuesday marked the second straight upset for the Canadians, as they also won a thriller over Panama in extras on Monday despite being no-hit through regulation. <\/p>\n
Now 3-1, it’s the first time since 1998 that Canada has won three games at the annual tournament in Williamsport, Pa.<\/p>\n
