The Little League team from 'Ewa Beach won the US LLWS Championship game today. They play the winner of this evening's Curaçao - Japan International Championship game for the world title tomorrow.

There are always some fun stories in the papers when local kids do well at something, and this time is no exception. One of the local columnists puts it well:

You don't have to know an infield fly from a dragon fly to cheer this band of 11- and 12-year-olds in their quest to bring a world championship back to 'Ewa Beach.

Heck, you don't even have to know how to pronounce 'Ewa correctly. ESPN's announcers didn't for the first couple days and it didn't get in the way of their enthusiasm for this team.

The fun these kids are having is a joy to watch.
