A Little League team from Kaohsiung overwhelmed Canada 23-0 on Monday U.S. time to move within one win of reaching the International Championship game at the 2010 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Fu-Hsing Little League team from Taiwan coasted to victory behind a potent attack that pounded out 15 hits and drew 10 walks and near flawless pitching that yielded only one hit and one walk in the four-inning contest. The regulation six-inning game was called early because of the 10-run rule. It was the Taiwanese team's second consecutive shutout win in Pool D, after defeating a team from Saudi Arabia 18-0 on Saturday U.S. time. It will next play the winner of the elimination game between Canada and the Latin American champion from Panama, tentatively set for Wednesday U.S. time. Because this year's Little League World Series is using a double-elimination format for each pool, Taiwan's team could lose Wednesday's game but still win its pool with a victory against the same team in a rematch a day later. If the Fu-hsing Little League team succeeds in winning Pool D, it will play the winner of Pool C -- comprised of the champions from the Caribbean, Japan, Mexico and Europe -- for the international championship. Taiwan would likely play Japan, which has already secured two wins in Pool C and only needs to win one of two games against Mexico to advance. The winner of the international championship will vie with the U.S. champion for the World Series title early Aug. 30 Taiwan time. According to team leader Lee Su-chen, the players' good form and high morale suggest that they should have no problem winning Pool D, and the coaching staff has set its sights on a potential encounter with perennial rival Japan. The last time a team from Taiwan won the Little League World Series was in 1996. Taiwan was long a powerhouse at the annual tournament, winning 17 titles between 1969 and 1996, but it has had a dry spell since then, with this year's club from Kaohsiung only the fourth from Taiwan to even qualify for the World Series in the past 14 years. Last year's team from Taoyuan rekindled local fans' interest in the tournament by reaching the World Series championship game before falling to a team from California.
