SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — The team from Honolulu is just a couple of wins away from securing its second Little League World Series championship since 2018 and the fourth for Hawaii in 16 years. The team has been in a COVID-19 bubble since Aug. 6, just before the start of the West regional tournament in San Bernardino, California.
