Lil Soljahs made another memorable appearance at the state PONY League tournament, only this one didn’t end with a happy ending.
The Kona Broncos led going into the bottom of the seventh Sunday, but Kapolei tied the game on a controversial collision at the plate, one misplay led to another, and Lil Soljahs was bounced 9-8 at Walter Victor Stadium.
But neither the eventful final inning nor home runs by Kona’s Isaac Kaku or Kapolei’s Earl Lopes and Keila Kamoku provided the most dramatic at-bat of a game that was chock full of them.
That honor belonged to Shaylann Grace.
