Hilo Little League's minor league All-Star team captured the Minor League Hawai‘i District 4 Championship over Kona on Monday at Pualani Park, winning the clinching game 9-3. West Hawaii Today and Hawaii Tribune-Herald incorrectly reported in Tuesday's paper that Kona won the championship. Both papers regret the error, and would like to congratulate Hilo on taking the title home! (Hilo Little League/Courtesy Image)
