Aruba of the Caribbean Region eliminated Australia in emphatic fashion Monday, cruising to an 11-0 mercy-rule victory in four innings at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

The game had been suspended in the top of the second inning on Sunday due to inclement weather, with Aruba leading 3-0 at the time.

The contest ended on Arnold Martha's two-RBI double to left-center field. Martha also started the game for Aruba, striking out five in 2 2/3 innings. Nishant Toledo went 2-for-2 with a home run and four RBIs.

Aruba will face the loser of Monday's Japan-Venezuela game on Tuesday. Australia was eliminated with its second loss of the tournament.
