The ILH baseball championship is at stake in this afternoon’s matchup at ‘Iolani School field. Weather is fairly good: hazy (voggy?) sky, trades 5-10 mph. Not very humid at all, and though there are gray clouds near the valley, I don’t think it’s going to rain. Yet. Saint Louis (14-5) won the regular-season title and Mid-Pacific (14-3-1) won the double-elimination tournament to set up this final. The game was originally scheduled for Monday, but was pushed back to today (Wednesday). […]

At Mid-Pacific’s Damon Field, the Raiders (10-8) came through […]

Hopes for an ILH title and state-tournament berth are on the line for the Kamehameha Warriors and ‘Iolani Raiders this afternoon at Mid-Pacific’s Damon Field. Weather is picture perfect: Sunny, almost cloudless sky above, gentle trades 5-10 mph. The winner stays alive in the ILH’s double-elimination tournament. The loser is done for the year. Kamehameha has beaten ‘Iolani three times in three games during regular-season play. On the mound: Caleb Duhay of ‘Iolani against Keenan Lum of Kamehameha. Live updates […]
