Waikiki and West Oahu played to a 1-1 tie in ten innings this
afternoon at Honolulu’s
Les Murakami Stadium.
Waikiki (6-7-1) struck
early as first baseman Yonder Alonso drew a two-out walk in the top of the
first inning and proceeded to steal second base. Todd Frazier took advantage of
the runner in scoring position, and drove in Alonso with a double off the top
of the wall in left-center field.
West Oahu (6-7-1) knotted
the score at 1-1 in the eighth inning when Mark Hallberg ripped a double down
the left field line to plate Chris Hatcher from second.
With one out in the home half of the tenth, West Oahu’s Brian Friday doubled to left-center field off
reliever Jeremy Papelbon. After Hatcher was intentionally walked, Papelbon got
Greg Burns to strike out, and retired Hallberg on a soft grounder to second to
end the game.
BeachBoys starter Mitsuo Yoshikawa tossed five scoreless
innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out three.
Kyle Cody threw five frames of one-run ball for the
CaneFires, allowing a line hit to Frazier and striking out two.
The teams have a scheduled day off tomorrow, and the
coaching staffs will spend Monday on the Big Island
for an around-the-island tour.
