By Paul Honda on April 2, 2019

He doesn’t say a whole lot with words, but Justice Yamashita certainly knows how to figure out a problem or two. The Maryknoll senior found himself in a jam against Pac-Five on Tuesday night. After leading by five runs, the Spartans saw the Wolfpack cut the lead to two, 9-7. As usual, the right-handed ace kept his wits and kept working. Yamashita finished with four strikeouts and just one walk issued as the Spartans held on for a 10-7 win […]

By Paul Honda on April 1, 2019

The spirit of a winning team can be complex. Catcher Liana Heshiki knows this well, so she aims to be consistent on and off the field. Heshiki went 4-for-4 and drove in five runs as No. 2 Punahou extended its winning streak to 10 games on Monday, rallying past No. 4 ‘Iolani 10-4 at the Buffanblu’s middle field.

By Paul Honda on April 1, 2019

Each of the last two years have ended with neighbor-island teams in the state final and in the top two spots of the final Honolulu Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10. So it should be no surprise that this week’s Top 10 features the same two teams — Baldwin and Waiakea — who met in the 2018 state final. Yet it is, kind of.
