Asia-Pacific vs Canada record at LLWS
Kuei-Shan Little League (Asia-Pacific)
Kuei-Shan Little League from Taoyuan, Chinese Taipei, is heading back to Williamsport for the second consecutive year and the fourth time in the league's history.
In their LLBWS run last year, Kuei-Shan Little League advanced to the International Championship round but was defeated by Curaçao, who eventually became the World Series runner-up. However, they bounced back to win the third-place game with a decisive 10-0 victory over the Southwest Region.
This will be the third year in a row that a team from Chinese Taipei represents the Asia-Pacific Region, with Fu-Lin Little League from Taipei earning the spot in 2022. This year’s participation marks Chinese Taipei’s 32nd overall appearance in the LLBWS, dating back to their first in 1969 when they captured the World Series title.
Whalley Little League (Canada)
Although they were shut out in their first game of the regional championship, Whalley LL finished with an impressive 64 runs.
This marks Whalley Little League's seventh journey to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and the 11th occasion that a team from Surrey has secured a spot in the LLBWS.
British Columbia has now represented Canada at the tournament 27 times, more than any other province in the nation’s 64 appearances. Whalley LL last appeared at the LLBWS in 2018, where they lost their opening game but staved off elimination for two more games before being defeated in Game 21.
