My friend was coaching on the Ewa Beach team that won the World Series in 2005 and I've enjoyed watching this years Waipio team and the stories behind them. I didn't think that they'd be in tomorrows game, especially after the 5th inning today, but they showed the "never give up" spirit that champions are made of. Unfortunately I only got to hear the game today as I don't have a TV at my nursery. I was able to watch them earlier in the week and might need to find a TV for tomorrow's World Championship. Having played and coached in this same all-star tournament, although not as successfully as these teams, I really appreciated the effort and character that these kids have shown. Great representatives for Hawaii!!! Thanks Dave for alerting us about these keiki from Hawaii.
