SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Defence, finesse, power and poise. As usual, Japan has it all, and it is returning to the Little League World Series title game again. Takuma Gomi led off the top of the sixth inning with a tiebreaking home run, and Tokyo beat Tijuana, Mexico, 3-2 on Saturday to win the international title. It was the 11th win a row in the international bracket for Japan, which hasnt lost a game since 2009. Japan will make its sixth appearance in eight years in the World Series finals and will play Chula Vista, Calif. on Sunday. Japan and Mexico have faced off 15 times in World Series history, and Japan improved to 10-5 against its rival when Gomi homered over the wall in right-centre field. "I was happy when I hit it -- not because I hit a home run but because it gave our team the lead," Gomi said. "I was just trying to get on base, so I let the ball come in deeper. Thats why it went to right field." Mexico was after a payback of sorts, having dropped a 5-2 decision to Japan on Wednesday. The Tokyo team confounded Tijuana manager Francisco Fimbres, powering to the victory behind home runs by starting pitcher Kazuki Ishida and Seiya Nishin, and hitting three doubles. "We thought Japan would play small ball, and they changed strategy," Fimbres said. "They were free-swinging it. I think its important to have a lot of patience. Our pitchers may have to be a lot smarter. Two mistakes cost us two home runs." Another huge mistake on Saturday cost Mexico again. With the score tied at 2, Brandon Montes led off the bottom of the fifth with a double down the left-field line. The next batter, Martin Gonzalez, was fooled for strike three but reached base when Japan catcher Ryusei Hirookas throw pulled the first baseman off the bag. Montes moved to third, and Mexicos vociferous fans chanted, Lets go Mexico. Keita Saito relieved and struck out Mendoza. Japan then got a huge break. Saul Favela slammed a high fly to deep centre, and Montes took a few steps toward home, stopped, and didnt have time to go back and tag up. He was stranded at third when Brandon Meza struck out as Fimbres boiled. "I think the nerves got to him," Fimbres said. "Its a play weve practiced all summer. It was the perfect setup for a sacrifice fly. He knew he was supposed to run. Hes 13 and hes human. Hes going to make mistakes. Im still proud of him. We have to remember these are still kids." Moments later, Gomi put his team ahead with a homer off reliever Jorge Romero. He was then mobbed by his teammates. "I was relieved when the game was over," Japan manager Masumi Omae said. "It was a nerve-racking game with all the pitching decisions and the pressure. We told the kids going in that we would go all out to win. Every pitcher had to be ready to throw "I really thought he (Montes) was coming home on that fly ball. When he didnt, I felt really fortunate." Mexico threatened one last time in the sixth but was foiled by Japans stout defence. Jorge Rodriguez led off with a single and was forced at second on Romeros sacrifice attempt. Luis Manzo then hit a grounder into the hole at shortstop, and Sho Miyao gloved it and got the force at second on a close play. Mexico challenged the call, but it stood. Miguel Artalejo grounded to short to end it. Mexico trailed 2-0 but tied it in the third against reliever Kensuke Tsuchida. Martin Gonzalez led off with a single, and Ramon Mendoza hit a screaming line drive over the centre-field wall. He was congratulated by his teammates after crossing the plate. Japan starter Nishino had pitched only one inning in the World Series, and starting first baseman Tsuchida was warming up before the games first pitch. Japan scored a run in the top of the first on just one hit. Miyao walked, took second on a wild pitch, and scored on a single to right field by Shunpei Takagi. Mexico starter Manzo settled down after that, striking out four of the next five batters, two looking and two swinging. Tijuana left fielder Alexander Artalejo was hit hard on the left elbow leading off the second, and Mexico quickly threatened. Rodriguez followed with a sizzling liner to left, and the runners moved up on a passed ball. Nishino then walked Romero to load the bases with nobody out and was relieved by Tsuchida. Playing the sound fundamental ball it is known for, Japan escaped with its 1-0 lead intact. Manzo hit a dribbler in front of the plate, and Tsuchida flipped the ball to Hirooka for the force at home. Artalejo then hit a sharp grounder to short, and Miyao got another force at home. Montes, who had four home runs in the World Series, struck out swinging to end the inning. Japan made it 2-0 in the third. Ishida singled hard up the middle, and Miyao followed with an infield single off Manzos glove, putting runners at first and second with one out. Ishida was caught trying to take third on a pitch in the dirt that Mexico catcher Favela made a terrific backhand stab on. Shunpei Takagi singled to right to keep the rally alive, sending Miyao to third. Miyao scored on a passed ball for a 2-0 lead, barely beating the throw as he eluded Favelas tag. Corey Grant Jersey .

(AP) -- The head of the committee that developed Major League Baseballs plan to expand instant replay says he is optimistic the system will be in place this season, even though owners and unions for players and umpires have yet to approve.BOSTON -- CC Sabathia provided a lift for the New York Yankees depleted rotation. First, Ivan Nova decided to have season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery. Then Michael Pineda was suspended for 10 games for using pine tar. After those developments were announced Thursday, Sabathia went out and threw six solid innings in his second straight strong start and New York beat the sloppy Boston Red Sox 14-5. "Hes taken the mindset since spring training he needs to be the ace of this staff," Yankees catcher Brian McCann said. "He gave us a great outing." He had plenty of help from both teams. Yangervis Solarte drove in four runs, Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and three RBIs and Mark Teixeira hit his first homer of the season. Bostons contributions included five errors, 12 walks -- five by knuckleball throwing utilityman Mike Carp in the ninth -- three wild pitches and a passed ball. The Red Sox also allowed three stolen bases, all in the third inning. "The sooner we move past this one the better," Boston manager John Farrell said. Sabathia (3-2) struck out eight while allowing two runs on three hits in six innings as the Yankees rebounded from a 5-1 loss Wednesday night in which Pineda was ejected in the second inning for having pine tar on his neck. "It felt good to get a win. I just wanted to have a good outing," Sabathia said. "I know our bullpen has been taxed." After allowing at least four runs in each of his first starts, he rebounded with a one-run, seven-inning performance at Tampa Bay a week before facing Boston. "CC can be a guy to get on some rolls," New York manager Joe Girardi said. The costliest stretch for the Red Sox was the first three innings when they fell behind 7-0. They made four errors, allowed three stolen bases and had a wild pitch and passed ball. "Every team goes through slumps hitting, goes through slumps defensively," Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts said. "Its part of the game. Were definitely going to get better. Thats not the kind of team that we are." Felix Doubront (1-3) retired the first two batters of the game before Carlos Beltran reached on an error by Bogaerts and scored on a double by Alfonso Soriano. The Yankees added three runs in the second. Brett Gardner led off with a walk before second baseman Dustin Pedroia dropped third baseman Brock Holts throw for an error, allowing Brian Roberts to reach first.dddddddddddd. Solarte then doubled in two runs, took third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch. Teixeira started the three-run third with his homer before Gardner reached on Doubronts error. Gardner stole second and third and scored on Brian Roberts single. Roberts stole second then made it 7-0 when Ellsburys single drove him in. Ellsbury took second on centre fielder Jackie Bradley Jr.s error but was stranded. Boston cut the lead to 7-2 in the third on a sacrifice fly by David Ortiz and an RBI double by Johnny Gomes. New York added five runs in the seventh when all nine batters against Craig Breslow reached base, including Beltran on a forceout at second. Solarte and Derek Jeter had two-run singles and Ellsbury doubled in a run. Boston cut the lead to 12-5 in the bottom of the seventh, scoring on a double by Bogaerts, a sacrifice fly and a passed ball by McCann. Carp made his major league pitching debut in the ninth and allowed one run on five walks. "It was definitely a cool experience," he said, "unfortunately, a bad situation to come into." NOTES: After the game Holt was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket. 3B Will Middlebrooks is expected to be activated from the disabled list Friday. ... Boston RF Shane Victorino made his 2014 debut after being activated from the disabled list before the game. He had been sidelined with a hamstring injury and the flu. ...
