On Waipio Little League and another milestone

What a meltdown by Lake Charles, Lousiana in the US Championship Game of the Little League World Series. I mean, you are three outs away from meeting Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and you give up six runs in top of the sixth! Oy vey. One of the greatest collapses in Little League history! Whoa. Gunner Leger just gave what could be the entire World Series to Waipio of West Waipahu, Hawaii.

They paid the price, with Minami of Edogawa Ward in Tokyo downing them, 4-3 in the consolation game.

Waipio became the second team from Hawaii to win the Little League World Series, crushing Matamoros, 11-3. The first to do it was Ewa Beach in 2005. There are some local boys who can smack the horsehide around down there. There's one now, scouts. Go get 'em.

It's number 50 for K-Rod! Francisco Rodriguez gets his 50th save as the Angels defeat the Twins, 5-3.
