West Oahu CaneFires News Release


West Oahu broke a 2-2 tie in the tenth inning on Mark Hallberg's two-run double to left field as the CaneFires went on to score six in the inning, and down North Shore, 8-2, this afternoon at Hans L'Orange Park.

Hallberg paced the West Oahu offense with three RBIs on two hits, while Kyle Peter went 4-5 and improved his batting average to .393. Teammate Caleb Gindl drove in two runs in the 10th to help the CaneFires improve to 12-10 on the season.

West Oahu got on the board first, picking up two runs in the sixth frame when Hallberg's RBI single scored Logan Schafer, and Chris Hatcher came home on a wild pitch.

Matt McBride narrowed the deficit to 2-1 on a solo home run, his third long ball of the season, in the home half of the inning. Then in the eighth frame, Kyle Martin plated Kurt Mertins with a sacrifice fly to right field off reliever Moises Robles, and knotted the score at 2-2.

McBride and Jordan Parraz led North Shore (8-14) with two hits apiece in the losing effort.

West Oahu starter Chris Cody held the Honu scoreless through five innings, allowing two hits and striking out four in the no-decision. Robles (1-2) notched the win after tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings and striking out two.

Jose Capellan matched Cody as the North Shore starter blanked the CaneFires through five frames, and gave up two hits while striking out three. Brett Hunter (0-1) took the loss after surrendering all six CaneFires runs in the tenth inning.

The squads return to Hans L'Orange Park tomorrow at 3 p.m. for the second game of a three-game set.
