HILO, Hawaii - San Rafael Pacifics short stop, Danny Gonzales, singled home the go-ahead runs with a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Pacifics beat the Hawaii Stars, 6-4, on Thursday night at Wong Stadium in Hilo, Hawaii.
After allowing a 4-0 lead to disappear, Pacifics first baseman Johnny Woodard was hit by a pitch to lead off the ninth inning. After Kyle Dhanani singled, and Morgan Mickan struck out, Gonzales singled up the middle with two strikes to drive both runners in.
