Tweedt Provides Offense as Baseball Splits PacWest Opener with CUI

Bryce Tweedt factored into all six runs in a Game 1 victory over Concordia University Irvine.

HILO, Hawai'i – Bryce Tweedt was an offensive juggernaut for the Vulcans in Game 1 as the Hawai'i Hilo Baseball team split its Pacific West Conference season-opening games with Concordia University Irvine, a 6-3 win and a 5-0 loss, Sunday evening at Francis Wong Stadium.

Tweedt drove in four runs and factored into all three of the Vulcans' scoring plays.

In Game 2 of the doubleheader, CUI got the better of Hawai'i Hilo in a pitching duel.

GAME 1: CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY IRVINE 3 - HAWAI'I HILO 6
  • Bryce Tweedt was all over the scorebook for the Vulcans, finishing 2 for 4 with four RBI, a triple, a run scored, a stolen base, hit by pitch and four putouts on defense. The center fielder scored Hawai'i Hilo's first run, coming across on a two-run Cody Min homer in the third inning to tie the game at 2-2. In the sixth, Tweedt delivered the game-winning hit with a two-strike two-out triple to right field to drive in two runs. The lead-off batter then added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth with another two-strike two-out two-RBI hit.
  • Bradyn Yoshida helped set up Tweedt and got the rallies going with a base hit and a ground-rule two-bagger in the sixth and eighth innings, respectively. The left fielder batted 2 for 4 with a stolen base and two runs scored.
  • Vance Oshiro recorded six assists and two putouts at second base. At the plate, he drew two hit-by-pitch at-bats with an additional third in the nightcap game.
  • Eamon Velarde got his first win of the season, throwing 6.0 innings with two strikeouts and giving up seven hits, two walks and two earned runs. Sebastian Garcia, John Navarro and Jake Liberta each pitched scoreless innings as the latter recorded his second save of the season and 10th of his career.
GAME 2: CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY IRVINE 5 - HAWAI'I HILO 0 (7 INN.)
  • CUI pitcher Jake Covey managed to put together a complete-game shutout, giving up just three hits and one walk while nabbing six strikeouts.
  • Matthew O'Brien also went the distance on the rubber with six strikeouts while allowing eight hits, two walks and three earned runs.
  • The Golden Eagles batched together four hits to plate three runs in the top of the second. Jordan Bolden added insurance runs with a two-run homer in the seventh inning.
  • Hawai'i Hilo threatened late in the final frame of action, priming the bases loaded with two outs but Covey managed to end the game with a backwards 'K' to split the series at one apiece.
