Chinese Taipei emerged victorious in the 2025 Little League Baseball World Series by defeating Nevada 7-0 in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This victory ended a seven-year championship streak held by American teams. After a powerful start, Chinese Taipei’s Lin Chin-Tse pitched a no-hitter until the fifth inning, when Nevada finally scored its first hit but failed to capitalize. The game was marked by Nevada’s struggles with wild pitches and walks, leading to their downfall.

The championship game saw Chinese Taipei score two runs in the early innings, followed by a triple from Lin in the fifth that cleared the bases, resulting in three additional runs. With stellar pitching and defense, they maintained a shutout through the final inning, marking their first LLWS title since 1996.

Earlier rounds saw Nevada defeat Connecticut to become the U.S. champions, while Chinese Taipei edged Aruba 1-0 in the international championship. Connecticut secured third place by defeating Aruba, which marked their best performance yet in the LLWS. The tournament spanned 11 days, featuring 20 teams from both the United States and around the world.

How the Little League World Series Works

The tournament operates on a double-elimination basis, with recent changes to championship rules allowing one-time games over the weekend. Matches consist of six innings, with tie-breaking rules in effect if necessary, all while keeping the ages of players between 10 and 12 years old.
