Yes I was way off on my assessment, Hawaii came to play. Is baseball there the most popular sport? I believe a couple of teams from Hawaii have won in recent memory.

It is taken VERY seriously at the LL level there.  Year round, it’s rare to see an unoccupied ball field in the afternoons.  Kids are always playing and practicing.

Hawaii  3    Korea  0  

Congrats to   Hawaii  2018 LLWS Champions

 

 

Great pitching performance.     I was really impressed with Hawaii's plate discipline,  relaxed,  knew ump's zone and did not go outside the zone for bad pitches.

Hawaii pitching was otherworldly. Back to back shutouts against this competition is crazy.

 

Yeah, if winning the LLWS wasn't enough, back to back shutouts in the US championship and World Series championship games is amazing.

Hawaii won in 2008 and lost in 2010 in the championship. They are definitely a LL powerhouse.

Hawaii is also a regular contender in the PONY League World Series. They won the PONY world Series a few years ago and placed 2nd a couple years before that.

Polynesian Ties FTW!!!

The former president's home state. I'm guessing that he will travel to the island in the near future and meet the little kids.

That Hawaiian coach was also a bad ass. Did anyone see him snag the foul ball out of the air when he was the 3rd base coach yesterday?

Really impressed with how well schooled those Hawaii kids are in all aspects of the game.

=Two earned runs in the 5 games of the tournament. That kid that pitched today threw hard enough but his command was superb.

=Every at bat their kids competed. When most LLWS teams have one of their 4 foot 10, 87 pound kids at the plate you can pretty well assume they are overmatched and a strikeout will come quickly. Hawaii did not donate a single at bat all day today. Every kid that went to the plate had aggressive swings. 

=Tremendous defense for the entire tournament. Routine plays really were routine. Tough plays were made to look a lot easier than they were

=They knew they were good but were not arrogant about it. It is easy to enjoy what you are doing when you are really good at it but they played the game with smiles on their faces even during tight moments/games

Congrats on a well earned title!!
