Taiwan defeats Nevada to win 2025 Little League World Series

A 12-year-old baseball player from New Jersey has been suspended for flipping his bat for a home run celebration.

For the first time since 1996, Taiwan are the champions of the Little League World Series. 

Tun-Yuan Little League, representing the Asia-Pacific region, defeated Summerlin South Little League from Nevada, representing the Mountain region, to win the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania on Sunday by a score of 7-0.

A high fly ball from Nevada’s Griffin Vargas to left field was the final out, as celebration ensued for Taiwan on the field.

Lin Chin-Tse was the star for Taiwan as he has been throughout this tournament.

On the mound, he was unleashing fastballs equivalent to 98 mph by MLB pitchers, and Nevada had a hard time keeping up over his five innings pitched. Lin let up just one hit while striking out four Las Vegas batters over his 58 pitches, with 45 going for strikes.

Meanwhile, at the plate, he tallied three RBI thanks to a bases-loaded triple that put the game out of reach for Nevada in the bottom of the fifth inning. 

For a team as buttoned up as Nevada has been throughout their time in Williamsport, they struggled to start the game with wild pitches and errors that ultimately came back to bite them.
