Each of Honolulu’s nine hitters collected at least one base knock as the Sharks pounded out 12 hits on the evening. First baseman Bradley Emaus went 2-4 with a triple and two RBIs to help the Sharks improve to 4-1-1 on the season. Teammate Tony Cruz also chipped in two RBIs.

Tyler Henson paced North Shore (4-2) with two of the team’s four hits.

Sharks starting pitcher Satoshi Nagai (2-0) struck out five through five scoreless innings as the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles hurler lowered his ERA to 1.00.

Timothy Bascom (0-1) took the loss for West Oahu, surrendering eight runs on four hits and three walks through 1 1/3 innings.

Both squads return to Murakami Stadium tomorrow at 7 p.m. for the second game of a three-game series.
