It was not too long ago that the Saint Louis baseball team was ranked No. 1 in the state. The Crusaders had rattled off six consecutive wins, including an impressive 4-1 victory over Mid-Pacific, and was on top of the ILH halfway through the regular season. Now, the Crusaders are forced to play the waiting game and may have taken the field for the final time on Tuesday in a 6-4 loss to ‘Iolani in the ILH second-round tournament. Saint […]

The Punahou Buffanblu have withstood the turbulence of the high-pressure storm known as ILH baseball. As of Saturday, with a 4-2 win over Saint Louis, the Buffanblu (10-7) find themselves sharing the drivers’ seat of the league’s double-elimination playoff tournament. “This is more like a fresh start to the season,” pitcher/designated hitter Noah Goss said. “We could get back at these guys because they swept us.” It wasn’t just about Geoffrey Moore’s poised performance on the mound or the timely […]

If you notice the Nanakuli catcher looks like a girl, it’s because she is a girl. Cheyenne Lute is her name and she’s batting .429 and fulfilling a role as a team leader for the Golden Hawks (2-9). If you recall her name, it might be from her starring role in Nanakuli’s push to the Division II softball state championship last year. She earned tournament most outstanding player honors as a pitcher. Lute decided to play junior varsity baseball in […]

It was just another Oahu Interscholastic Association West baseball game. Undefeated Pearl City visited Waipahu on Wednesday. The Chargers improved to 10-0 with a 16-7 win after breaking a 6-6 tie with six runs in the sixth, and the Marauders fell more toward the bottom of the standings at 2-7. Both shortstops, however, combined to bat 1.000 at the plate. Let’s start with Waipahu senior Kobie Russell, who was offered and committed to the University of Hawaii when he was […]

There are rivalries that take on a semi-friendly tone. This one was far from it.

It was an exceedingly feisty effort by the Cougars, who won 5-4 in an upset of the fifth-ranked Falcons. Three Cougars were tossed from the game, […]
