On one hand, it was Chinese Taipei’s 18th Little League World Series title, the most of any team aside from the United States. But it was also its first since 1996, making it one that will stand out in their country and in World Series lore for years to come.

Lin Chin-Tse retired the first 13 batters he faced and allowed just one hit in five innings as Taiwan beat Nevada 7-0 in the Little League World Series championship Sunday, ending a 29-year title drought for the Taiwanese.
