Honu Use Extra Effort To Complete Sweep of CaneFires

October 14, 2007 - Hawaii Winter Baseball 2 (HWB 2)
North Shore Honu News Release


North Shore collected ten hits-seven of which went for extra bases-as the Honu routed visiting West Oahu 9-3, and completed the three-game sweep of the CaneFires this afternoon at Waipahu's Hans L'Orange Park.

Mat Gamel moved into a tie for the league lead in home runs (4) with a solo shot in the second inning to give North Shore its first run. Teammates Chris Valaika and Stephen Chapman added back-to-back solo home runs in the third inning to give North Shore (9-4) its first lead that would not be relinquished. Jonathan Lucroy supplemented the North Shore offensive attack with two doubles, while Jeramy Laster doubled and drove in three runs.

Brett Sinkbeil (1-0, 1.64 ERA) gained his first victory of the year, allowing an earned run on three hits in five innings and striking out two. CaneFires starter Erik Stiller (1-1, 3.00 ERA) allowed all three solo home runs, and was saddled with the loss.

West Oahu (2-10-1) got its pop at the plate from first baseman Ian Gac who crushed a two-run homer in the seventh inning off reliever Sean Walker. Catcher Brian Jeroloman led the CaneFires with two hits.

North Shore and the Honolulu Sharks open a three-game set tomorrow at Hans L'Orange Park, with first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. The CaneFires come back to Hans L'Orange Park tomorrow at noon to open a three-game series with the Waikiki BeachBoys.
