Taiwan Little League Fight into the World, Earns Trip to Williamsport for the 75th LLBWS
Introduction
Fu-Lin Little League defeated South Korea 1-0 on July 4th and will now represent the Asia-Pacific Region at the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport this August. Taiwan has not participated in the game in seven years.
Little League Baseball World Series was first held in 1947 by Little League Baseball and is held every August in South Williamsport.
In 1968, Taitung Red Leaves swept 7-0 to beat an all-star youth team from Japan. This win is commonly cited as the starting point of baseball fever in Taiwan, resulting in the win of the Taichung Golden Dragons the following year at the 1969 Little League World Series in South Williamsport.
