Hawaii advances to U.S. title game at Little League World Series

Hawaii’s big bats helped carry the boys from Waipahu to the U.S. title game of the Little League World Series. The Waipahu, Hawaii, team rallied from four runs down against Columbus, Ga., and scored all its runs in its final three innings at bat in a wild 12-5 win Friday for the West region champs. The Little League World Series final four is finally set after rain earlier in the week forced the schedule to be pushed back. Hawaii will play Pearland, Texas, in the U.S. championship game Saturday, while Japan and Taiwan will meet for the international crown. Associated Press reports.
