Reversal of Results on Day 2 as Softball Splits Series Against APU

Hawai‘i Hilo fell to Azusa Pacific, 3-2 and 3-0, Wednesday evening.

AZUSA. California – It was a reversal of results from the first day of the series as the Hawai'i Hilo Softball team fell to Azusa Pacific, 3-2 (8 innings) and 3-0, Wednesday evening in Pacific West Conference play at the Cougar Softball Complex.

The two teams split the series after the Vulcans claimed victories in the first two games — first a shutout followed by a win in extra innings. Wednesday's encore saw similar results but flipped for the other side.

GAME 3: HAWAI'I HILO 2 - AZUSA PACIFIC 3 (8 INNINGS)
  • APU's Katie Korstrom managed to bring in the game-winning walk-off run in the bottom of the eighth inning with a two-out two-RBI single up the middle. The Cougars previously got two runners on with base hits to set up two runners in scoring position. Korstrum was also their starting pitcher, going the full 8.0 innings with seven strikeouts while surrendering four hits and one earned run.
  • After the Cougars got started early with an unearned run in the bottom of the first, Hawai'i Hilo's Dyoni Garcia slammed her first solo bomb of the season to tie the game in the fifth inning. Both teams got two runners on the basepaths in the sixth inning but ended up leaving them stranded.
  • Kanoe Piltz and Jayda Favela singled in the top of the eighth to set up a gifted run on a two-out fielding error by APU, giving the Vulcans the 2-1 lead.
  • Tehani Seto got the start for Hawai'i Hilo and went the whole 7.2 innings, scattering 10 hits for just two earned runs in her first loss of the season.
  • Kiani Nakamura recorded five assists and four putouts at second base.
GAME 4: HAWAI'I HILO 0 - AZUSA PACIFIC 3
  • The Vulcans were shutout for the first time this season, mustering up five hits with seven total runners left on base — only three of them were stranded in scoring position.
  • APU managed to combine for seven base hits in the fourth and sixth innings to plate three runners across.
  • Jayda Favela racked up five assists and three putouts at shortstop. Favela also had four assists and two putouts in the first game, along with going 2 for 4 at the plate. Through the early parts of the conference season, Favela leads the PacWest with 46 total defensive assists. Makena Nera follows behind with 32 as Dyoni Garcia tops the number of putouts with 118.
