Hawaii Tribune-Herald
For those who watched the Hilo Gold Mustang 9s ballclub’s game on huiaumakuasports.com on Monday, one thing was obvious: that Southern Cal foe was a beast.
At the PONY West Zone championship, No. 1 seed Emerald defeated Hilo 13-7 at Walnut, Calif., to earn a berth to the International World Series.
Hilo lost its first game to Southern Cal’s Simi Valley 9-8 on Friday and had to fight its way through the loser’s bracket.
At least, Hilo scored a bit of revenge, knocking off Simi Valley 12-6 in the semifinals earlier in the day.
