In one of the more commanding runs in Little League World Series history, Hawaii (West Region) capped off another championship over Curacao (Caribbean Region) on Sunday afternoon.
The young men from Hawaii were so good over their time in Williamsport that they routinely paced ahead of their opponents. Hawaii went undefeated over six games, scoring double-digit runs on four occasions. And when it came time to secure the state’s fourth-ever Little League World Series over Curacao in the championship game, the young players from Hawaii left no doubt.
By the bottom of the fourth inning, it was already 12-3 in favor of Hawaii. Then Kama Angell — four-for-four with a homer and six RBIs (!) — hit a shot to left field with two players on base. By the Little League’s rules, Hawaii essentially ended the game on a walk-off in the fourth inning by virtue of having a 10-run lead:
Hawaii has won the Little League World Series!

Man, look at all the pure joy from the players from Honolulu! Even if they cruised to the Little League title — ending with a 13-3 win — it definitely wasn’t as easy as they made it look. A job well done all around to this spirited group of young players in a wonderful tournament.
Fans were in awe over an elated Hawaii's dominance in the Little League World Series

That must be one heck of a pitching staff if they gave up three runs in this game. https://t.co/Sx7C8lndgb

Averaged scoring 10 runs a game while giving up less than 1 game is insane https://t.co/vxqMXGzNaj
