Trent Allianic gave up no runs, walked one batter and struck out 10 in Kaua‘i High School’s game one win over Kapa‘a High School yesterday, 1-0. Kaua‘i would also win game two, 7-6.
“It was one of the finest games in the KIF played this season,” said the Kaua‘i Interscholastic Federation’s official scorekeeper Glenn Mickens. “It was a crime to see anyone have to lose that game.”
There were no errors recorded for game one.
The only run scored came in the first inning, when Ryson Sakamoto scored off a Schyler Arakaki hit.
Kapa‘a’s pitcher Cody Goias was 2-for-3, posting both of Kapa‘a’s hits.
Game two, on the other hand, had a few errors which caused it to be just as exciting as the first.
Kaua‘i‘s Jordan Leanio, Schyler Arakaki, Aaron Soong and Jahga Calves all went 2-for-3. Leanio had a triple and a single, with 4 RBIs. Arakaki also had a triple, a single and 1 RBI. Aaron Soong, the league’s leading hitter scored 2 runs. Calves scored the winning run.
