Hilo baseball rules the world.
At least in the senior division of little league baseball.
A team comprised of 15 and 16 year olds from the Big Island town claimed the senior league world series Saturday in Bangor, Maine.
They racked up 11-runs on 16-hits in the championship game, against a squad from Tyler, Texas.
Big Island mayor Billy Kenoi will join friends, family and supporters at Hilo airport Sunday evening to greet the World Campion Hilo All-Stars team as they return after their victory in Bangor, Maine.
The homecoming will include a water cannon salute by the Hilo airport state fire department crews, and entertainment by the Hawaii County Band.
