Another solid outing for Kalaheo pitcher Kaina McAllum.
The AJA league’s finest hurler pitched another complete game – allowing six hits and striking out nine – in a 12-5 drubbing of Makaweli last Sunday at Vidinha Stadium.
The Kalaheo bats were hot all day.
Casey Oketane scored the game’s first run on Lance Higashi’s sacrifice fly. Les Obatake scored on Scott Serizawa’s infield hit, and Kalaheo led 2-0 after two.
Makaweli answered with five runs in the bottom: Issac Castillo scored on an error, Mike Ishibashi clobbered a triple to right field to drive in Trent Shimabukuro, Rielly Shirai and Reid Tanita, and Mike Ishibashi scored on Brandon Ishibasi’s basehit up the middle.
McCallum wouldn’t allow another run.
Kalaheo would cross home plate 10 more times, and there was nothing Makaweli could do to stop the hot bats.
Kalaheo improves to 3-0 on the season, Makaweli falls to 1-2.
Hanapepe 10, Kapa’a 10
Hanapepe and Kapa’a battled in a teeth-clenching showdown last Sunday, but a 10-10 stalemate was all that would come of the hard fought battle on Vidinha’s token diamond.
Hanapepe’s Levi Maeda scored from second on a Kapa’a error and Wendall Nonaka scored on a pass ball to give the west-side club a 2-0 lead after one.
Kapa’a scored three runs at the bottom of the inning on a Stan Morinaka three-run blast over the right-field fence, driving in Shannon Masada and Robin Lore.
Maeda tied up the game with an RBI single to drive in Russel Ijima and Clifford Matsusaka in the second. And Hanapepe would score three more through the top of the sixth to bring its lead to 8-3.
Kapa’a rallied.
Evan Gibson scored on Ryan Silva’s basehit, Masada drove in Derek La Ca Den and Silva to close the gap to 8-7. La Ca Den scored again in the eighth, Hanapepe scored two more in the ninth, and Kapa’a notched three runs – off Stan Morinaka’s RBI bringing in Lore, and later Keoni Nakano’s RBI bringing in Morinaka – to tie the game at 10 apiece.
*Correction from last week -The suspended game reported in last week’s Garden Island has been officially written in the books.
Hanapepe was leading Lihue 10-8, and since the official rulebook says the game is officially over is halted past five innings, last week’s game stands.
Hanapepe officially gets the win.
