Baseball Drops Series to Fresno Pacific

HILO, Hawai'i – Hawai'i Hilo Baseball fell to Fresno Pacific twice on Saturday afternoon to start the Pacific West Conference season with an 0-4 record.

Vulcans pitchers cut the number of free passes to first base in half, giving up five walks in each game of the doubleheader but just one hit batsmen — pitchers combined for nine walks and nine hit-by-pitch in Friday's series-opening twinbill. Still, FPU managed to rack up 24 total hits.

Defensively, the Vulcans improved from their season-opening series against Sioux Falls where they committed 11 total errors, including six on opening day. The Vulcans had just one error against the Sunbirds.

At the plate, Hawai'i Hilo had just four hits in each of Saturday's contests.

Hawai'i Hilo moved to 0-4 in the PacWest (2-6 overall) as Fresno Pacific moved to a 4-4 conference record (9-6 overall).

GAME 1: FRESNO PACIFIC 13, HAWAI'I HILO 1 (7 INNINGS)

  • Nate Gray Jr. drove in the lone Vulcans run of the game after Arthur Soto lined a lead-off double to start the bottom of the fifth. After advancing on a wild pitch, Gray Jr. flied out to left field to score Soto for the sacrifice fly.
  • FPU managed to hit three home runs to account for nearly half of its runs with a solo homer by Chris Clement, a two-run shot by Trent Mallonee and a three-run home run by Micah Barkenhagen — the latter of whom seemingly set the tone earlier with a first-pitch homer in Friday's first game.
  • The Sunbirds were able to post a seven-run top of the fifth frame on five hits.
  • Tyrus Stephens got the start for the Vulcans on the pitching mound, going 3.0 innings with three runs allowed while tallying four strikeouts.

GAME 2: FRESNO PACIFIC 8, HAWAI'I HILO 1 (7 INNINGS)

  • Hawai'i Hilo jumped on the scoreboard early as Noah Lane smacked a two-out single to left field to score Vance Oshrio, who led off the inning with the first of his two base hits.
  • The Sunbirds again managed to put together a single big inning of runs, getting six hits to score eight in the top of the fourth.
