WAILUKU — It was, perhaps, the hidden-ball trick heard around the world. Or, at least, Wailuku. In a game that featured a recurring leg cramp to a key player, a flying bat and loosey-goosey baserunning tactics all in the name of eking out just one more valuable run, it was the mindcraft of an infielder that helped save the night for Kailua. The Surfriders’ 10-1 win over Maui in the opening round of the Wally Yonamine Foundation/HHSAA Baseball State Championships […]

WAILUKU — The Waiakea Warriors saw their BIIF title hopes sink last week with a loss to Hilo. They responded on Saturday with a 9-0 win over Leilehua in a play-in game for a state-tournament berth. On Wednesday, they showed again that the past is just the past, storming past Saint Louis 9-4 at Iron Maehara Stadium.

Wally Yonamine Foundation/HHSAA Baseball State Championships Iron Maehara Stadium Opening round Wednesday, May 8, 2019 Final: Kailua pulls out a strange, borderline insane 10-1 win over Maui in nine innings. Bot 9: Ah Yat, who replaced Ewaliko on the mound to start the eighth, is back to finish. Kokobun leads off for Maui with a triple to right. Ah Yat retires the next three, game over. What a wacky game. Kailua advances to the quarterfinals and will play BIIF champion […]

Five neighbor-island teams are ranked in the latest Honolulu Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10 released today.

Kamehameha-Hawaii, the top seed in the Division II state tournament beginning Thursday, is No. 4 for the second straight […]
