'Bows Walk it Off Again Vs. Vulcans

GAME ONE BOX

GAME TWO BOX

HONOLULU, Hawai`i- Scotty Scott hit a walk-off single in the opener and host Hawai`i got two solid pitching performances to defeat Hawai`i Hilo on Saturday in a non-conference doubleheader at Les Murakami Stadium.

The Rainbow Warriors claimed the 3-2 and 6-2 verdicts, inproving to 7-2 on the year. The games were the season openers for the Vulcans, who just like last year, gave their bigger brothers a good run. 

Before the pandemic struck a year ago, the Vulcans had leads late in both games, eventually losing one of those on a walk-off homer. This time in the opener, it was Scott's single (his fourth hit of the game) that sent the 'Bows scampering to the field in celebration.

Earlier in the game, pitching was the impressive factor on both sides. UH ace Aaron Davenport dueled with UH HIlo's Brandyn Lee-Lehano, with Davenport throwing six shutout innings and fanning eight. Lee-Lehano gave up only one earned run, scattered eight hits, walked only one and struck out three.

But UH still had a 2-0 lead until with one swing of the bat things changed in the eighth. After Trey Yukumoto had singled, Chris Aubort brought him home with a homer to tie it at 2-2. On the mound, Aaron Davies came on in relief of Lee-Lehano and pitched a scoreless inning, but in the ninth the 'Bows chased the winning run home against Christian DeJesus with a hit batter, a single and Scott's game winner.

Yukumoto and Casey Yamauchi had two hits apiece for UH Hilo, who had seven total in the game.

In the second contest, Hawaii built a 3-0 lead through three innings, scoring two of those runs unearned. UH Hilo battled back in the fifth and sixth innings with a run each, both times using hits by Yukumoto and Bradyn Yoshida to help move a runner across the plate, but the Rainbow Warriors would add two more insurance runs in the sixth to settle for the 6-2 final. 

Yukumoto, the Hawaii Pacific transfer, was 4-for-7 on the day. Scott had four hits in the first game for UH, and Tyler Murray had three hits in the nightcap.

The two squads will wrap up the three-game series on Sunday afternoon with a 1:05 pm start.
