WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Canada is moving on to the next round at the Little League World Series.
Yi-An Pan pitched five innings and added a home run Monday as the team from Langley, B.C., upset Taiwan 5-3.
The victory improved Canada’s record to 2-1 and earned it a spot in the next round, where it will face either Japan or Saudi Arabia on Tuesday afternoon.
Pan allowed two earned runs on nine hits over five innings of work before leading off the top of the sixth with a homer to give Canada a two-run lead.
Cole Cantelon recorded the final three outs to get the save.
It was the first time Canada beat a team from Taiwan at the Little League World Series in 17 tries.
