42-1

Hawaii has outscored opponents 42-1 during its time in Williamsport. That's absurd.

Two of Hawaii's three Little League World Series games have ended early due to the mercy rule.

There was the 11-1 demolition of Washington in the opening game of the Little League World Series, a game in which Sakamoto showed off his impressive two-way ability. Hawaii's (other) ace whiffed six in three innings. He also drove in the game's first two runs at the plate.

Then there was Lancaster and Sakamoto's no-no. While the pitchers got all the shine, Hawaii was potent at the plate, too; the Honolulu-based ballers combined for a whopping four home runs in just five innings of work, two of which came by Kekoa Payanal.

“I have this routine,” Payanal said. “Basically you take a deep breath and stare at your bat to focus. That’s what works for me.”

One thing about Hawaii's dominance in the 2022 Little League World Series: It's been more or less evenly-distributed throughout the roster.

Names like Lancaster, Sakamoto and Payanal get all the shine. But it's a workman-like approach to baseball, one that ensures a host of players get involved in the action. No statistic shows that more than this one: Five Hawaii players have recorded a hit in every game this Little League World Series.

It's a mindset that comes from theMLB Small Jewelry top; Hawaii has relied on a "We > Me" motto that has served them well so far, says interim manager Keith Oda.

“What we pound in the heads of these kids is that it’s not about you, it’s about the team,″ Oda said. “Whatever it takes for the team to do well. Even if you aren’t starting, be the best cheerleader to your fullest for the team.”

That translates to the dugout, too. Oda wasn't initially supposed to be in charge of the te atlanta braves chipper jones jersey am. That responsibility is typically undertaken by his brother, Gerald. But Gerald caught COVID-19. Keith Oda stepped up in his absence. And now, Hawaii is on the doorstep of another Little League World Series title.

“We tell t atlanta braves jersey jones hem to attack every pitch and they work hard at it,” Oda said. “Their hard work shows up in the games.”
