Iolana Akau, one of two nephews of our classmate Ed Han (pictured above), comes off the field after being hit by a pitch in Waipio's 3-1 win over Shelton, CT at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. Ed's other nephew, Kainoa Fong is an outfielder and pitcher for the team who is currently (as of Monday, August 18th) undefeated in their pool thanks to a 10-2 win yesterday over Tampa, FL. The team is set to play the last team in their pool, South Dakota, later this afternoon.Ed took time off of his job at Pearl Harbor to make the trip to Pennsylvania over the weekend. He joins 10 other members of his family who made the 5,000 mile trek from Hawai'i.
"We hope to make it all the way to the finals on 25th, but we're all here until the 26th regardless of the outcome," Eddie said via email.
Ed was hoping to be joined by classmate, Tommy Thompson, who lives in Binghamton, NY, two and a half hours north of Williamsport.

My family was eating brunch at a local restaurant in Kihei (Blue Moon Cafe) today (8/24) and a game was up on the big screen! Hawaii was beating Mexico 11-3 at the time. We had no way of knowing if the game was live or not and my sons noticed it was a Hawaii team playing! They were awesome! I didn't note the inning but bases were loaded when the Catcher dropped the ball! Hawaii added one more run.
Eddie, hope you and your family are having a good time there. We are cheering for the team!
Aloha ke Akua,
Marie QC
