Facing an eight-run deficit and with more than 42,000 American fans cheering against them, Tokyo's Kitasuna Little League team staged a rousing comeback to win the Little League World Series in Pennsylvania on Aug. 30.
Playing the U.S. representative team from Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, the Japanese were down by eight runs in the first innings.
But a pep talk from coach Junji Hidaka saw them pound out 22 hits and win by 18-11. (AP)
