Lin Chin-Tse wasn’t quite perfect.<\/p>\n
But he was more than good enough with a dominant performance on the mound on Sunday to lead Chinese Taipei to a 7-0 win over Nevada in the Little League World Series championship game. The LLWS title is the first for an International team since Japan won in 2017.<\/p>\n

Chinese Taipei advanced to Sunday’s final via dominant pitching in South Williamsport, paced by Lin’s effort on the mound. The trend continued on Sunday against a previously hard-hitting Nevada team that advanced to the final with an 8-2 win over Connecticut Saturday for the U.S. championship.<\/p>\n
But Nevada’s bats were no match for Lin on Sunday. Lin was perfect through four innings before Nevada secured its first baserunner via a squibber through the infield that allowed Garrett Gallegos to reach first in the fifth. But it made no difference on the scoreboard.<\/p>\n
By then, Chinese Taipei had secured a 2-0 lead. And a double-play ended the inning without a Nevada run. Chinese Taipei’s bats then exploded to blow the game open in a five-run bottom of the fifth inning.<\/p>\n
Chen Qi-Sheng took over to pitch a scoreless top of the sixth inning to secure the Chinese Taipei victory. Lin pitched five scoreless innings in the victory with four strikeouts while allowing just a single baserunner on Gallegos’ fourth-inning single.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lin Chin-Tse wasn’t quite perfect.
