The Hilo Bronco All-Stars survived to play another day, and if all goes as planned Sunday will be another long one in Whittier, Calif.
Hilo moved within a win of the championship game Saturday at the PONY West Zone 12U tournament courtesy of two victories, including a 6-5 triumph against Torrance, Calif., an increasingly familiar foe.
Hilo and Torrance will meet for a third time in three days Sunday morning for the right to quickly turn around and face North City (San Diego) in the winner-take-all final. North City went 3-0 on the other side of the bracket.
