The Hilo All-Stars started with simple contact, spraying the ball over the field, and by the second time through the lineup they started connecting for power.
When North Hawaii tried to pitch around Hilo’s hitters, they were happy to be patient and take their base.
The spectacle Sunday at the Little League District 4 tournament at Walter Victor Stadium made Kaimana Kuamoo’s second at-bat of the second inning seem unfair. Kuamoo managed just a little squibber between home plate and the mound, but even in an instance when North Hawaii made a great pitch, the ball wasn’t hit hard enough to be fielded and it went as a hit.
