Hard to believe the negative comments coming from mainland people. Complete disrespect and even racist comments about our boys. May they stay forever humble and full of Aloha spirit to alllll the haters out there. Great coachs and great young men. IMUA HAWAII

[@brianwalsh1401]

I'm sorry if that's the case but trolls love to start problems on purpose to get a reaction. If they are for real then consider the source and caliber of a person who would make negative comments of any sort about a little league team and don't let it detract from a wonderful team and experience that team is having. Good luck.

Congrats!!! Hawaii!!!

[@khonhlo1476]

@@brianwalsh1401 No some were saying they are cheating because the islands can recruit more people or that some of the kids look late adults. Had they known that Hawaii struggle to get to Williamsport against Southern California really shows West Coast team are on another level.

Disappointed but not surprised by the comments from the mainlanders. I see Hawaii fitting in more as an international team with a completely different culture from their mainland states. They represent for their community and their culture and that is something mainland states should seek to follow.

[@matwol1365]

The Hawaii Little League team has made a great impact on the game due to their focus on teamwork.

[@Kaizen29x]

Those kids have great coaches!

[@lonelypigeon7562]

Imagine if later on, Coach Oda ends up interested in football.........college fb?? Coach Oda and his assts are so darn "down to earth" and REALLY respecful of the state AND the USA! mahalo!!!

As a mainlander myself, I must admit that I've had to overcome some prejudices. Over the years, Hawaiian teams have put on some performances that were so impressive that I remember the games they played to this day. I am anxious to watch any game Hawaii plays in because I know I'm going to see some great baseball. I hope to see you guys whack some big flys today!

[@khonhlo1476]

Have you seen some of the games the Hawaiian team played in regional? It was a battle against Southern California that scared me because I thought this team was weak. To think they are so dominant since day one at Williamsport shows West coast teams are a league of their own. It might have something to do with the weather.

[@bombthechaos3916]

@@khonhlo1476 Yes, I think the weather plays an important role. That's one of the reasons SoCal is always formidable. It's like a clash of the titans when they play for the Western Division. I'm from Arizona, so I have a dog in that fight too!

Honolulu won the LLWS in 2018 so it hasnt been since 2005

[@erincoogan7497]

I said the 4th title- since 2005 :)

[@howzit9397]

It’s amazing that some people don’t know Hawaii is the 50th state and apart of America!! They think we should be playing in the international bracket!! Goes to show they didn’t learn much in history about Hawaii the last state joining the United State’s!! 50 stars on the American flag and Hawaii is one of them stars! Hehehe

[@brianwalsh1401]

Hopefully their not Americans who don't know that, a foreigner I might understand them not knowing Hawaii is a state.

[@lonelypigeon7562]

I bet you because the team has a mixture of asian and polynesian and hawaiian, etc.....that folks assume they are hispanic or some other international culture......aya!!!

[@bamahi7142]

The 2005 team broke the seal. Vonn Fe'au stole the show. Instant classic.

[@lonelypigeon7562]

kitv should do research about ALL the athletes that played LLBB and find out what they are doing now..........

[@64Magick]

*YESSAHH, GOOD JOB U GUYZ!!!*

Congratulations Little Men

i ended up going online to YT and watch live from a blogger.....thank you!

[@binnny1533]

What a game Hawaii!!!

[@BBBoy990]

Typical woke haoles, they're just jealous...because of the success we've had. Need to stay focused, Curcao has a good team especially pitching. Tennessee's pitching gave Hawaii some problems today. Hope Lancaster is well rested and on his game tomorrow. Go Hawaii.

[@jamesmurphy2192]

Hmmm You're the first negative comment I have read here? Go Hawaii! 🤙

[@wilfredespiritu3672]

Always. Even the commentators showed bias..

[@lonelypigeon7562]

if the mainland folks fly over here and see and enjoy the cultural mix of ethnic groups, they will understand why Hawaii is special........on the other hand, if one lo-lo get upset with his wahine.......no be dumb like Brennan and act up and speed!!!! tourists come to enjoy our state, not to ma-ke.

Real journalists would be checking the birth certificates of the Hawaii team. 12yrs old I think not!
