SECOND PHOTO: Wailuku’s Maliko Amberg, 4, hits a baseball off a tee while working on his game with dad Jeremy Amberg last week at Keopuolani Park in Kahului. Maliko said he was a member of the Pono Braves and he had a red uniform. He has been playing T-ball for two weeks. “It’s about teaching him baseball, but more important it’s a bonding experience for us,” his dad said.
