Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans Athletics

Vulcan senior outfielder Vevesi Liilii provided the most memorable moment during UH Hilo's 6-1 season-opening victory over Hawaii Pacific on Sunday. With two runners on base in the third inning with two outs, the 5-foot-7 centerfielder battled Shark starting pitcher Malia Torres to a full-count, and then mashed a change-up about 10 feet over the left field fence to give her team a 3-1 lead. The Vulcans would go on to score six in the inning, and Vevesi would finish with two hits in the game. The Iolani High School alum (Aiea) led the Vulcans in last year's shortened season with four home runs.
