Game Summary
-
The ‘Bows took an early lead when Matthew Miura scored from third base due to Andrew Kirchner’s failure to handle Chris Hernandez’s pickoff attempt at first base. Ben Zeigler-Namoa then drove him home with an RBI single, giving Hawaii a 2-run advantage going into the top of the second inning.
-
In a four-run rally during the fourth inning, Kamana Nahaku hit a go-ahead pinch-hit homer, along with another double and scoring twice. Matthew Miura also excelled with back-to-back doubles, including one that cleared the bases for two RBIs, bringing his total to six RBIs for the week.
-
Cal State Fullerton struggled throughout the game, leaving fourteen runners stranded on base. They faced challenges, particularly when they had bases loaded, thanks to defensive plays by Hawaii players. Notably, Tyler Tuffin made a crucial catch of a foul ball down the right field line, preventing an extra-base hit, and later threw out a runner attempting to steal second base.
This victory marks a significant achievement for the Hawaii baseball team as they continue to build momentum in their season.
