Hawaii Tribune-Herald
They build them big in Dixie, Utah, where the Little League sluggers there are much larger than the average 11 to 13 year old.
Utah out-clubbed Hilo 12-6 in the semifinals of the West Regionals on Friday in San Bernardino, Calif., where coach Baba Lancaster’s club couldn’t stop an offensive onslaught.
It was a good run. Hilo (2-2) won the Big Island’s first Little League state championship since 1987. The team was unbeaten in districts (Big Island) and states.
Oahu’s Ewa Beach (2005) and Waipahu (2008) captured the state’s only Little League championships.
