0.35 ERA... WOW!!!!! Congrats to Hawaii for an exceptional performance. Enjoy your well deserved title. Also congrats to S. Korea for being good sports and made it to the finals.

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]

Thats why pitting is soo important when it comes to Little League and High School.

[@SquidJoe]

@@yellowflamegaulent3902 You mean Pitching, right? (Typo on comment?)

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]

@@SquidJoe Yeah sorry about my spelling.

[@moegerms]

@@yellowflamegaulent3902 - pitching is important at any level of baseball. It wins and loses championship in MLB.

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]

@@moegerms Yes but I dont think alot of teams realise how important pitching really is especially when its in Little League.

Damn the LLWS gets more attention than the WNBA Playoffs

[@moneybagz8292]

Audi aka Lil Wet Spot YIKES 😬😬😬 Somebody commented the same thing on the NBA 2K tournament.

[@adrianelias2365]

I'm more interested in LLWS than basketball...

[@mandalorianlegion576]

Wnba sucks that’s why

[@Oscar-jp4jb]

Sshhhhh ...don’t say that. You’ll upset the feminists.

[@robertbrett3350]

Little League WS can be traced back to August 1947. The WNBA formed in April 1996.

[@savino3109]

Congratulations to Hawaii for winning the title for the USA! They were the best team with the best coaches, and all the players and their families were extremely humble and respectful throughout the tournament.

Zenigundam stfu Racist fuck

[@mtn7836]

Zenigundam Hawaii is U.S state you troglodyte. What a stupid comment.

[@ericvansickle4305]

You do know that Hawaii is a state. That's why they were in the U.S. bracket, not the international bracket.

When you just got hit with a volcano and a hurricane, there's alot to play for. Or, you got nothing to lose.

[@eddiea1120]

@@RobbieStacks90 chill dude. He didn't say the kids were soldiers in a war, its LLWS. Yes, we are fine thank you. I believe it was a category 5 at one point. As for that last statement, we are one of those stars on that USA flag. It's spelt HAWAIIAN BTW...cheeeehoooo🤜😵🤙

[@thejcb8]

Well then how is Hawaii the 50th state of the USA?

[@nickstoli]

Love the sportsmanship. And kudos to those South Korean players who comforted the batter who made the last out. Winning isn't everything. Being a good person is way more important.

[@mickavellian]

I LOVE ALL of these guys ALL.. of them are such an honor to humanity .... But HAWAI .. MAN that is just plain AWESOMENESS! ANd stopping Japan from the finals .. is UTTERLY amazing

[@724fingers]

I love news stories like this. It is such a great and welcome distraction from politics. Too bad it has to end.

[@jeffreyhouse1306]

Congrats to Hawaii! Unfortunately Hawaii as a whole doesn’t get much sports attention. Good job Hawaii!

[@etuiniakina3544]

Zenigundam bruh you know nothing about Polynesian culture or Hawaii.. Nothing but horse shit of facts

[@nachkommevongraf4734]

@@etuiniakina3544 Bruh, you sound offended. He never claimed to know shit about Hawaii, all he said was their football team sucks (which is true) and that they're more conected to whatever culture they're from (like everyone is.) Someone born in the filipines that moves to the mainland will carry on that culture for at least a generation, till their kids/grandkids (born in America) adopt to American culture more and more. Somebody born in Hawaii however, whether they be Hawaiian/polynesian/Samoan/Japanese/Filipino/White whatever it is, will slowly adopt whatever culture is prevalent (Hawaiian culture.) Even though Hawaii is a state, most natives see it as occupied and would rather it be independent from the US. What did he say that was horse shit or signifies his understanding of the Hawaiian culture? Because you're insinuatig that he knows nothing, when he could possibly live there.Even if he's never been to the Islands he could have a much deeper understanding of the History and roots than somebody born there with all Hawaiian ancestors. Happens all the time.

[@Bongaboi151]

They just beat Colorado State. Where the hell have you been brah?

[@casshernsins8333]

Zenigundam lol "American culture". America culture is a mixture of all the various immigrants culture that came to America. Why are you commenting false narratives?

You need to fuck off immediately before I really lose my temper and beat you to a pulp do I make myself clear?!

[@spunky2006]

You need to butt out because this doesn't involve you at all. Now I'm giving you a choice either butt out or else I will do to you what I will do to two other KZbin users in other words Ryan and Zenigundam do you understand?

Hawaii stays producing athletes!

[@bsweeney7512]

Amazing. When I saw this team play in the West Regional, I said to myself, “this team is gonna win the whole thing”

[@JaredHumphers]

B Sweeney Same! I figured it would be either the team from New York or Hawaii to win the whole thing!

[@juniorkawai6131]

Nope. I felt Georgia was going to meet Hawaii in the U.S. final. Unfortunately for them, they had to deal with Hawaii's Aukai Kea yet again. Nuff said.

They need to grt rid of the midwest region and give Cali there own so we can see Hawai'i in this tournament more

[@stephen2865]

Yeah, the Mid-West is usually trash, I think they should just add it to the Great Lakes and rename it.

The only problem with that is there are so many states that wouldn't even have chance at being represented.

Ewa Beach from ‘05 bro

[@2livecrew799]

Yellow Flame Gaulent - Actually Ewa Beach Hawaii from 2005 does. Hawaii is the reason they made the new rule for the field being extended from 200 to 225. Each Hawaii team that made it to little leagues World Series would hit an average of 30-40 homers. Chula Vista would of gotten crushed by any of the Hawaii teams. Each year teams from Hawaii went, they completely dominated every one of their opponents.

[@yellowflamegaulent3902]
