The Little League World Series crown is heading back to Hawaii as the team from Honolulu defeated international champion Curacao, 13-3, in four innings on Sunday afternoon in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
It was a mercy rule walk-off for Kama Angell, who collected his sixth RBI of the day to win it for his team.
Hawaii has been dominant since arriving in Williamsport, clearly looking like the favorite to take the title at the end of the tournament. They lived up to that by hitting back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the first inning after the team from Willemstad, Curacao, went up 1-0 on a wild pitch.
