By Jerry Campany on March 23, 2020

From its inception in 1909 to the present day, every game during the ILH baseball season seems to matter.  Iolani’s Nathan Aipa struggled on the mound but made up for it with his bat as the Raiders knocked Saint Louis from the unbeaten ranks on this date in 1972.

ON THIS DATE: Radford’s Reed Anderson makes himself known

By Jerry Campany on March 22, 2020

On this date in 1986, Radford’s Reed Anderson did his best to ensure a newspaper would never spell his name wrong again. Anderson climbed the mound at Aloha Stadium and shut out Mililani over nine innings, only to wake up to find his first name misspelled in the Honolulu Advertiser’s account of the game.  Anderson and batterymate Raul Benitez limited Mililani to two hits and two walks, striking out seven. The only times the Trojans cracked him were a first-inning […]
