Kamehameha and the loser on Friday will open the state tournament at Iron Maehara Stadium on Maui on Wednesday in the first round.It was quite the birthday, indeed, for ‘Iolani outside hitter Anuhea Hauanio Lore. They are a really great club and they will be dangerous in the state tournament."įriday's winner will earn the seeded berth in the state tournament and not have to play until the quarterfinals on Thursday. I'm proud of them for believing in each other and hats off to Kamehameha. "Kaleb has really stepped up, " Miyahira added. "They are really dangerous so I just had to really focus in and try to get out of there quickly and get my offense back up, " Tenn said. Tenn walked Kiai Kawai with two outs and was pulled for reliever Izack Takasawa despite his plea to face one more batter. That's it."Īfter giving up a two-out RBI single to Sylvester in the third inning, Tenn retired 10 of the next 11 hitters before Jace Souza's one-out single in the seventh. We ran into a hot team and they won, bottom line, no if's, and's or but's, " Kamehameha coach Daryl Kitagawa said. Sophomore right-hander Blade Paragas, who entered the game 4-1 this season, allowed two earned runs in 4 2 /3 innings with six strikeouts, but was hurt by two errors behind him. Kamehameha scored 13 runs in its first three innings against 'Iolani on Monday but managed only one run over the next 11 innings. "Me being more aggressive is beneficial to our team." "I wanted to be way more aggressive because before this run we went on, I was a little more passive in my at-bats and I think that's been a pretty big factor in why I haven't been getting as many hits as I am now, " said Lau Kong, a freshman who has already committed to play at Hawaii. Lau Kong added a two-run single in the top of the sixth for the final margin. 'Iolani added two more runs on a walk and a hit batter with the bases loaded after a Kamehameha error kept the inning going.

It's fun watching them have fun and get after it every day. "We just happen to be fortunate these last few games. "Baseball is a funny game, " 'Iolani coach Kurt Miyahira said. The Raiders clinched the league's third berth into the state tournament with a win over Punahou on Saturday and then won the league tournament by erasing a six-run deficit in a win over Kamehameha on Monday and then holding the Warriors to four hits on Wednesday. Nobody believed this was possible for the Raiders after they ended the regular season losing 10-0 to Kamehameha in five innings and then getting blown out at Mid-Pacific, 12-4, to start the tournament. "I just wanted to mix it up, work ahead, believe what my pitch caller was calling me and believe in my catcher behind the dish and the defense behind me." "We've just got to believe and trust each other, " said Tenn, who struck out three and allowed just one hit after the third inning.
