Hilo native and St. Joseph alum Edgar Barclay had a homecoming he’ll always remember, and one the team on the other side would like to forget.

The Cal State Bakersfield junior hurled a shutout against Hawaii on Sunday in a 2-0 win for the Roadrunners. Barclay took a perfect game into the sixth inning and finished with 10 strikeouts while surrendering just one hit and a walk.

“It felt good to be at home. Our team had a chance to win the series, with me being on the mound. I tried my best to help us win the series,” Barclay said to the Star-Advertiser’s Stephen Tsai.


CSU Bakersfield (12-10) took three out of four games in the series from Hawaii (9-11).
