Softball Succumbs to No. 22 CUI in Close Contests

Hawai‘i Hilo fell to Concordia University Irvine, 3-0 and 3-2, on Friday.

IRVINE, California – The Hawai'i Hilo Softball battled tough, but No. 22 Concordia University Irvine managed to squeak away with the doubleheader sweep, 3-0 and 3-2, Friday afternoon in Pacific West Conference play at the Golden Eagles Field.

The Vulcans couldn't quite get the timely hits to land to score runners across as they were shutout in Game 1. The clutch hits fell for the Vulcans in the second game but defensive miscues allowed CUI to slip away with the win.

GAME 1: HAWAI'I HILO 0 - NO. 22 CUI 3
  • It was scoreless through three and a half innings before hit-less CUI collected four consecutive base hits to bring across the first run of the game. Still, Vulcans starting pitcher Chloe Sales stood strong to induce back-to-back outs to put out the fire.
  • Hawai'i Hilo perhaps had two ample opportunities to score after putting two runners on in the fifth and sixth innings, but it couldn't quite cash in as they were left stranded on the basepaths with zeros left in the scoring columns.
  • The Golden Eagles added a pair of runs with a two-run homer by Tessa Jerue in the bottom of the sixth. CUI kept it going with back-to-back singles, but Linsea Straugh entered the pitching circle and shut the threat down with a strikeout and a flyout.
  • The Game 1 loss marked a consecutive shutout defeat for the Vulcans, having previously fallen to Azusa Pacific also by a score of 3-0.
GAME 2: HAWAI'I HILO 2 - NO. 22 CUI 3
  • Hawai'i Hilo got on the scoreboard early as Jayda Favela led the game off with a base hit. Dyoni Garcia followed up with an RBI double to put the Vulcans up, 1-0.
  • CUI responded by capitalizing on a Vulcans defensive error in the bottom half of the opening inning as Mary Baccay made her way around the diamond before stealing home to even the score. The Golden Eagles gained the lead an inning later with consecutive base hits to plate another run across.
  • Favela led off the top of the fifth with a triple to deep center field and later came home on a RBI single from Rayna White to tie the game at 2-2. The shortstop also made a defensive highlight with a leaping snag on a liner up the middle in the bottom of the fifth.
  • Concordia University Irvine again capitalized on a Vulcans defensive miscue with Rylie Rohr starting the inning in scoring position after a grounder up the middle was thrown low, allowing Rohr to advance to second on the error. A RBI base hit later brought her home for CUI's second unearned run of the ballgame.

UP NEXT

Hawai'i Hilo moved to a 10-8 record (5-7 PacWest) while Concordia University Irvine moved to 12-0 in conference (19-4 overall). The two teams will be back at it Saturday for another doubleheader.

The Vulcans will continue on against Biola (March 18-19) before playing six contests as part of the Tournament of Champions, presented by the City of Turlock (March 21-24).

Next home games are March 29-30 against Academy of Art.
