With a second win in his pocket and two days off ahead in Southern California, Hilo baseball coach Baba Lancaster vowed to keep matters all business.

No Disneyland, no fun parks, not even a dip in the pool.

“No attractions,” he said.

With power arms and power bats, his 11- and-12-year-old Little Leaguers are starting to become the attraction – tune into ESPN on Thursday afternoon to see more.

Joshua Ward, Kaynan Kaku, Wailele Kane-Yates and the rest of the rock-‘em-sock-‘em Hilo All-Stars stormed back Tuesday with a 10-run fifth inning and dumped Dixie, Utah, 14-5 in San Bernardino to reach the West Regional semifinals, where a national TV audience awaits.
