Fielding errors, base running errors, hit batters…all contribute to the W or L. Hilo committed five errors that cost them a spot in the semi’s. Kalani had a number of unexplained brain farts on the bases. St. Louis made costly errors that helped the momentum swing in Maui’s favor. Can’t ask for a better scenario for the final four MIL, BIIF, OIA and ILH. PLAY BALL!

(a) An earned run shall be charged every time a runner reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice bunts, a sacrifice fly, stolen bases, putouts, fielder’s choices, bases on balls, hit batters, balks or wild pitches (including a wild pitch on third strike which permits a batter to reach first base) before fielding chances have been offered to put out the offensive team. For the purpose of this rule, a defensive interference penalty shall be construed as a fielding chance.

(1) A wild pitch is solely the pitcher’s fault, and contributes to an earned run just as a base on balls or a balk.
