SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Chin Ou struck out eight, Tang Fu Cheng homered and Taoyuan, Taiwan, advanced to the international final at the Little League World Series with a 5-2 win Thursday over Willemstad, Curacao.

Taiwan will play Mexico on Saturday for the right to move on to the World Series title game. Curacao was eliminated.
Curacao finally broke through with its two runs in the sixth off Ou when Shair Lacrus hit an RBI double to left-center and Claycandy Hariquez singled home Lacrus.
Ou was lifted with two outs, and reliever Wen Hua Sung ended the game with a strikeout.
