Vulcans split with Sea Warriors

Gerika Pantohan
The University of Hawaii at Hilo rallied from a run down to beat Hawaii Pacific University 7-6 in a Pacific West Conference game in Kaneohe, HI.
 
The Sea Warriors won the first game 4-3 in 11 innings.

[Game 1]   [Game 2]
 
Down to their last at bat and trailing by one, the Vulcans (18-18 overall, 12-11 PacWest) loaded the bases with one out. Asha Prithviraj tied the game with a single to right field. Then Emily Greene hit the game winner through the left side.
 
Greene was 4 for 4 with a pair of RBI in the game while Gerika Pantohan and Collette Aubrey collected two hits each.
 
Though hits were scarce in the first game, they were big. Trailing 1-0, Aisha Sueda's fourth inning two-run homerun gave the Vulcans a lead. But the Sea Warriors (23-17, 15-9) would come back with a run in the fifth.
 
Scoreless until the 11th-inning and playing with the international tie-breaker, the Vulcans put a run up on Bryanna Hardy's single. But the Sea Warriors answered with two in their half to take the game.
 
Amber Waracka went the distance for the Vulcans giving up nine hits and six walks while striking out three.
