Baseball Drops Series to Concordia on Thursday Tripleheader

WAIPAHU - The Hawaii Pacific University baseball team took one game of a triple header on Thursday at Central Oahu Regional Park.

The Sharks (8-6, 5-2 PacWest) and the Golden Eagles (8-10, 3-4 PacWest) were forced to play a near tripleheader after rain postponed the beginning of the series on Wednesday. 

Game One
The teams left off in their initial game in the top of the sixth inning as the Sharks had climbed out to a 3-1 lead before the game was called off. Junior pitcher Jack O'Brien had six strikeouts before the weather ended his outing. Freshman reliever Dylan Honda started the postponed game fresh and delivered his longest outing of the season with strong three innings. He allowed only one hit, no earned runs, and added three more strikeouts. Finishing out the final inning was Kainoa Holt finished out the ninth not allowing any runs either as HPU took game one 7-1.

Graduate Richard HIga had a smoking hot bat raking in three hits with two RBIs in the contest. Four other players also had multi-hit games with DJ Stephens had the only other multi-RBI game with a two-run blast in the second.

Game Two
Round two looked like it was going to be a slugfest with each team scoring runs in the first frame, but then the bats went quiet on either side. Finally in the sixth inning the Sharks found themselves with a runner in scoring position where they went with some small ball to move runners over. Stephens found himself on the otherside of another RBI, this time in the form of a sac fly that tied the game 2-2.

With the game coming down to the final two innings Concordia got hot and put up a five spot in the eighth and one more in the ninth while shutting down any HPU offensive attack for a 8-2 win.

Junior pitcher Andrew Hauck got the nod in game two where he went 5.2 innings and allowed two runs on seven hits, while he tallied a season-high nine strikeouts.

Senior Nicholas Jio and freshman Noah Hata each collected a pair of base knocks.

Game Three
With the series win on the line last-minute heroics propelled CUI to a win.

An explosive second inning highlighted the barnburner of a game. The Golden Eagles put up their second five spot of the day with five hits. The Sharks bounced back in the bottom of the second starting with a Kota Suzuki single. Stephens followed him up with a single to the right, before Chase Taylor doubled and scored the first run. Higa flew out for a sac fly and advanced Taylor to third. Taylor would score on a balk during the next at bat as the Sharks got three back making it 5-3 after two innings.

Another scoring inning started with the first three batters reaching safely loading the bases for Taylor, who reached on a fielder's choice and scored two runs on an error tying the game at 5-5.

Headed to the final inning self-inflicted errors put Concordia on top after a runner reached base by error and got moved over to third on a single through the right side. During the next batter a passed ball allowed the runner to score edging CUI ahead 6-5 as HPU did not convert in the seventh.

The Sharks are off until Monday when they continue their multi-month homestand with Azusa Pacific starting at 2:00 p.m. HT.
