Chinese Taipei captured the 2025 Little League World Series title with a 7-0 victory over Nevada, ending a six-year US-champion streak and marking the first international crown since 2017. Lin Chin-Tse flirted with a no-hitter into the fifth as Taipei’s pitching and defense stifled the Mountain Region. Early runs and a bases-clearing hit in the fifth iced it, while Nevada’s miscues and wild pitches amplified the gap. Aruba’s international run and Connecticut’s bronze finish highlighted a 20-team event that showcased a new generation of global youth-ball talent.

Mark Vientos sparked a Mets comeback bid in Atlanta with his third homer in two days, signaling a power resurgence as New York nudges its wild-card hopes.
