Lin Chin-Tse's Stellar Performance

In a dazzling display of talent, Lin Chin-Tse led Chinese Taipei to a resounding 7-0 victory over Nevada in the Little League World Series championship game. His one-hit pitching performance was crucial, marking a significant milestone for the team.

Breaking New Ground After 29 Years

This title represents a monumental achievement for Chinese Taipei, capturing their first International championship since 2017 and their remarkable 18th overall. It's their first win in the LLWS since 1996, breaking a 29-year championship drought.

Dominance on the Mound

Lin's mastery on the mound was evident as he delivered a flawless four-inning stretch, allowing only a single groundball hit to spark a Nevada baserunner in the fifth. By that time, Chinese Taipei had already built a solid 2-0 lead.

A Game-Changing Fifth Inning

The game's momentum shifted dramatically in the bottom of the fifth inning when Chinese Taipei unleashed a five-run barrage. Lin's outstanding performance was complemented by the team's offensive firepower.

Unmatched LLWS Stats

Lin's dominance extended throughout the tournament, pitching an impressive total of 11 scoreless innings and striking out 20 batters, yielding a mere two hits. His fastball reached velocities equivalent to 107 mph in Major League Baseball terms, astonishing for a 12-year-old.

A Joyful Celebration

"I'm very happy," Lin expressed through an interpreter after the game. "It's been 29 years of drought. And finally, we've got a championship." His emotional remarks echoed the team's joy and relief.

Solid Contributions from the Team

Chinese Taipei's bats were equally impressive, reaching base 14 times with a mix of seven hits and seven walks. The scoring began with a wild pitch from Nevada’s starter, leading to the first run and setting the tone for the rest of the match.

A Historic Shutout Victory

The shutout victory marked the fourth time in five games that Chinese Taipei held their opponents scoreless, tying a tournament record. Lin not only excelled as a pitcher but also contributed as a hitter, driving in three runs during the championship match.
