HILO, Hawai`i—On a Friday night at Wong Stadium, the Hawai`i Hilo Vulcans spent all day getting their field ready, another two hours taking a 4-1 lead and less than ten minutes to watch all that work fade away.

Visiting Concordia scored eight runs in the top of the seventh inning to stun and pass UH Hilo on their way to a 10-7 baseball win. Rain and a saturated field pushed the start of the game back two and a half hours to 6:30 pm. The second game was set to begin at 10:30 pm.

Tomorrow, two games will be played, but at Kamehameha School in Keaau (turf field). Start time for the twinbill is 11 a.m.

Drew Ichikawa was nails through six innings, in just his third start of the season. He threw only 48 pitches, allowed just three hits and no earned runs as the Vulcans took a 4-1 lead.

Meanwhile, the Vulcans gave Ichikawa what appeared to be plenty of run support. They scored a run in the first inning when Jaryn Kanbara doubled home Kyle Yamada, who had walked. The home team added a run in the fourth when Kila Zuttermeister singled with two outs, and then scored all the way from first on Edison Sakata's double just inside the left field line to make it 2-1.

In the fifth, Jonathan Segovia laced a base hit and Phillip Steering followed with a double to the deepest part of the park in right-centerfield to send Segovia to third. Kanbara then drove in his second run of the day with a single to left field to make the count, 3-1. Steering would later score on a balk, to give UH Hilo a 4-1 margin.

But things came unrivaled for the Vulcans in the seventh. The Eagles pieced together three hits in a row to end Ichikawa's night, but they didn't stop there. Eight hits and eight runs later, Concordia took a large lead against four different Vulcan pitchers. Bailey Collins led off the inning with a double and added a three-run homer later in the inning. In all, 15 batters came to the plate for the Eagles in the fateful inning.

The Vulcans got three runs back in the eighth inning. Sakata singled, Dylan Sugimoto walked, Yamada singled and Jonathan Segovia doubled home two. Kanbara's ground ball and third RBI of the night brought the Vulcans to within two runs at 9-7.

That would be as close as the home team would get. More rain brought the tarps out in the top of the ninth, causing another rain delay (25 minutes). Then the Eagles added an unearned run to take a three run lead into the bottom of the ninth.

Sam Reed closed things out with a six-out save. The left-hander didn't give up a hit and struck out three.

Collins had three hits for the Eagles, scored three times and had three RBI. Kanbara had two hits and drove in three runs for the Vulcans.  UH Hilo had 14 hits in the game, two each by Yamada, Segovia, Mano Manago, Sakata and Sugimoto.
