Sharks, CaneFires Play To Scoreless Tie
November 5, 2008 - Hawaii Winter Baseball 2 (HWB 2)
Honolulu Sharks News Release
Offense was hard to come by this afternoon at Hans L'Orange Park as Honolulu and West Oahu played to a 0-0 tie in nine innings.
The game was ended after both coaching staffs mutually agreed that their pitching staffs, which include hurlers limited to strict pitch counts, could not handle the extra work if the game were to continue.
West Oahu starter Fumikazu Kimura was nearly perfect through five frames as the Saitama Seibu Lions hurler allowed one hit and struck out four through five innings. Reliever Harrison Bishop tossed the game's final 2 2/3 innings, allowing a hit and striking out three.
Honolulu starter Johnny Venters tossed five scoreless innings through which he scattered three hits and struck out five. Roy Merritt, Austin Chambliss and Chris Kissock combined to shut out the CaneFires through the remaining four innings on two hits.
Cyle Hankerd posted a game-high three hits in support of West Oahu (14-14), all of which were singles.
Kala Ka'aihue paced Honolulu (14-14) with two of the squad's four hits on the afternoon.
Both squads have a scheduled day off tomorrow, and return to action on Friday.
