Canada stuns South Korea 5-1 to advance in Little League World Series

Williamstown - Shortstop Cruz Krpan contributed two hits and one run scored as Canada emerged victorious over South Korea 5-1 in a Little League World Series match. The win secured Canada's advancement to the quarterfinals with a spot in the next round up for grabs. Canada will face Japan in the upcoming round with a coveted quarterfinal spot at the line.

In the win, Canada recorded seven hits while holding South Korea to a mere three. Jean Ramos delivered the win for Canada, pitching two innings of impeccable one-hit ball, only allowing a run on four walks. Barring any specific hits, Kian Sandhu came on to replace Ramos in relief, going four innings and striking out five. However, Sandhu permitted seven walks and two hits without any runs being scored.

This marks the first time a Canadian team has made it to this stage of the Little League World Series since 2017.
