A four-run deficit in the first inning wasn’t going to slow down the Kaiser baseball team.
The Cougars scored in every inning and plated at least three runs in all but one frame in a 17-7 mauling of OIA East rival Kalani in six innings on Saturday at Kaiser’s home field.
Christian Reasoner tripled twice and was one of two Kaiser players to drive in four runs as the Cougars moved to 2-0 in league play following Thursday’s win over Moanalua.
The Kaiser offense is off to a monster start with 25 runs in two games. Brock Perreira matched Reasoner with four RBIs against the Falcons (0-2) and Calvin Lime went 2-for-4 with four runs scored.
The top six hitters in the Cougars lineup all had at least two hits and the top four in the lineup — Jesse Stroede, Landon Shigeta, Lime and Reasoner — combined to score 14 runs.
Kaiser starter Pono Lyman struck out six in four innings after giving up four runs in the opening frame.
Kaden Stremick doubled and scored in the first inning and then hit a three-run homer in the fifth to lead Kalani at the plate.
