Taiwan stuns Samurai Japan to capture Premier12 title

Samurai Japan is used to being the star attraction in international games — especially at home.

In the Premier12 final, however, the world’s No. 1 team was reduced to a supporting role on what might be the greatest night in Taiwanese baseball history.

Lin Chia-Cheng hit a solo home run and team captain Chen Chieh-Hsien connected on a three-run shot as Taiwan claimed the Premier12 title with a 4-0 upset of Japan at Tokyo Dome on Sunday night.
