Chinese Taipei's overwhelming dominance continued at the International Championships.
Thanks to another strong performance from pitcher Yi Sung-hee, the team won 4-1.
Chinese Taipei scored in the first, third and fifth innings. They only allowed three hits but still managed to score. Chen Shi pitched 5.1 innings, allowing only three hits, one run and striking out 12 batters.
Chinese Taipei reached the final for the first time since 2009.
Florida was consistently losing, but it never lost.
Lake Mary's boys team avenged a loss to Southwest with a 10-7 victory to claim the U.S. title. Florida was down 4-0 after the third inning and 4-1 going into the fifth inning, but the team scored nine runs in the final two innings to take the win.

The Little League World Series Championship Game is scheduled for Sunday at 3pm ET.
