North Shore picked up three runs in the sixth inning and held on for the 3-1 victory over Honolulu this afternoon at Les Murakami Stadium.

The Honu (12-15) snapped a 15-inning scoreless streak that spanned three games with a three-run sixth inning to take their first lead of the game. Corey Brown blooped a double to right field to plate Adam Davis, and Yamaico Navarro followed with a sacrifice fly to deep right to score Ronald Rivas. Matt McBride capped the scoring spree with a single on a sharp line drive up the middle that scored Brown.

Honolulu (14-13) brought a run across in the eighth inning on a Greg Veloz groundout that allowed Jordan Abruzzo to come in from third. The Sharks were presented with ample scoring opportunities throughout the game, but stranded 14 runners on base.

Chris Carter paced North Shore with two hits on the afternoon including a double.

Bradley Emaus, Michael Taylor and Shintaro Masuda each notched two base hits in support of Honolulu.

Matt Meyer (2-1) picked up the win for North Shore after holding Honolulu scoreless through 1 2/3 innings. Brett Hunter retired the final batter in the ninth for his first save of the season.

Honolulu starter Kyle Drabek (0-1) took the loss, surrendering three runs on three hits through 5 1/3 innings. The Philadelphia Phillies prospect struck out a game-high five batters and walked one.

Both teams have scheduled days off tomorrow, and return to action Tuesday.
