Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans Athletics

Christian Sadler was nearly perfect last weekend in earning the men's Pepsi Athlete of the Week award. On Saturday against Hawaii Pacific, making his first start on the mound this season, the senior righthander had a no-hitter through seven innings of a scoreless game. He walked a batter in the third and then again in the fifth, but otherwise it was three up and three down for the Sharks inning after inning. Finally, in extra innings, he gave up a home run in the top of the eighth but his teammates scored twice in the bottom half to get UHH and Sadler the 2-1 win. He finished with a one-hitter with two walks and five strikeouts. On the season the Hercules, Calif. native is 3-0 with a 1.20 ERA. He has given up just five hits in 15 innings of work.
