West Oahu CaneFires News Release


West Oahu scored seven runs in the fifth inning followed by five more in the sixth inning as the CaneFires defeated the visiting North Shore Honu, 12-2, this afternoon at Waipahu's Hans L'Orange Park. The CaneFires (10-19-1) racked up eight hits, but were aided by three North Shore miscues which led to six unearned runs.

Joshua Bell and Ryan Rogowski-both Los Angeles Dodgers prospects-each slammed a three-run home run in support of West Oahu. Teammates Anthony Hatch and Chad Tracy each added a double and two RBIs in the romp.

CaneFires reliever Keisaku Itokazu (3.13 ERA) improved to 4-1 on the season after allowing one hit and no runs through two innings in relief of starter Steve Johnson.

Brad Corley paced the Honu hitters, going 2-4 with a double and two RBIs in defeat. North Shore (20-10) starter Shinya Nakayama (3.57 ERA) fell to 5-2 on the season, surrendering five runs on four hits through 4 1/3 innings while striking out six.

Both squads return to Hans L'Orange Park tomorrow at noon (Hawaii time) for the finale of the three-game set.
