West Side Hawaii coach Kallen Hiraishi admittedly didn’t see his team’s go-ahead rally coming.

At some point during Kupa’a Elarionoff’s lengthy and engaging at-bat Saturday against Hilo strikeout artist Kaimana Kuamoo, however, a big inning came into clearer focus.

Elarionoff fouled off pitch after pitch – one drive cleared the fence down the right-field line – until he served a single to right, setting West Side on its way to an 8-4 victory and a berth in Little League Majors District 4 championship game at Walter Victor Complex.
