"After 15 years of facing them, don't really get over them," he said. "They're devious. They're the only players in the game allowed to cheat. They throw illegal pitches, and they sneak foreign substances on the ball. They can inflict pain whenever they wish.

"And they're the only ones on the diamond who have high 'ground. That's symbolic.

Taiwan won its 16th Little League championship Saturday a 17-3 victory over Spring, in the second-most lopsided final ever.

The team from Tainan, a city of about 200,000, may have gone on to surpass the record set by another Taiwan club in 1987 with a 21-1 victory over Irvine, but Saturday's game was called after four innings because Little League introduced a lOnrun mercy rule this season. "All you can really say is said Manager Don Turley of Spring, a suburb of Houston. "That is the most awesome Little League team in the world, bar none." "Chih Hsiang Lin threw a four-hitter and had two homers, including his sixth of the series to break a 24ryear-old record. ri Shortstop Chia Ming Cheng hit Wardell Starling's third pitch over the left-field fence to lead off and Lin hit a two-run homer later in the first to make the score 3-0. I think I came out flat and struggled," said Starling, who was in the infirmary with a 100-degree temperature Friday.

"We were the best in the United States, what more could you ask for?" Starling got a small ounce of revenge in the fourth inning during Spring's only rally, when he hit a two-run, 250-foot home run to center. Taiwan's last title came in 1991, the year before the Philippines forfeited. After that. Little League began more strictly enforcing rules regarding over-age players and restricting the size of the pool of, players that a team could be chosen from. Taiwan and three other countries were banned in 1993 and an uncharacteristically sloppy Taiwan team went 1-2 in the Series last year.
