Joy in Waipio!

Jeepers. The Waipio Little Leaguers scored six runs in the top of the sixth and blanked the Lake Charles kids in the bottom of the inning to win the US Little League Championship.

They were down 5-1 going into the sixth, but got a string of hits to get close. The tying run scored on an infield single, which was a charitable call -- it should have been an error. The first baseman knocked it down but couldn't find it behind him and the hitter reached first.

They go on to play Mexico tomorrow for the World Championship.
