By James Briggs
Special to The Advertiser
Numata, a right-handed pitcher, threw a strike to start today's game against Texas. Six innings later, Numata — playing shortstop — fielded a ground ball and delivered it to first base for the final out of a 4-1 victory, sending Pearl City to its first Junior League World Series (ages 13-14) title game since 1984.
Pearl City plays the Philippines today for the world championship.
"It feels great beating Texas," Numata said.
