Little League World Series Champions

The boys from Ewa Beach, Oahu won it all for my island brethren. They came back from a 3-run deficit in the bottom of the sixth to send it into extra innings, and won it on a walk-off home run to start the seventh. 7-6 over CuraƧao. Highlights:

Vonn Fe'ao pitching for Hawaii in the top of the 7th, throwing 77 mph and sporting a game face so mean it looked like he might put a ball in some kid's earhole just for the hell of it.

One of the Hawaii dads couldn't get time off work, so he borrowed a large sum of money for travel expenses, quit his job, and came out to PA. Such a powerful tribute to a parent's love of his son and total lack of fiscal responsibility.
