Loreto Siniscalchi struck out 13 in 5 2/3 innings and Canada upset Tokyo 10-4 on Friday to snap Japan's 23-game opening round winning streak in the Little League World Series. It was Japan's first loss to open a LLWS since 1965. Siniscalchi scored on a passed ball in the third and Sean Coventry crossed home on a wild pitch to make it 4-0. Cristian Santarelli smashed a two-run homer over the centre-field wall in the fourth for a 6-0 lead. Japan got on the board in the fourth when So Hirao scored from second after a throwing error to first.
