Sharks End Slide, Halt Honu

Honolulu Sharks News Release
Four Honolulu hurlers combined to one-hit North Shore as the Sharks posted a 2-1 victory tonight at Les Murakami Stadium. The win snapped Honolulu's seven-game losing streak, and pulled the Sharks to within a half game of Waikiki's Hawaii Winter Baseball East Division lead.
Honolulu starter Scott Shaw tossed five innings through which he allowed a run and struck out six, bud did not factor in the decision. Junior Guerra (1-1) notched the win after chipping in 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, and Kaimi Mead pitched a perfect ninth frame to nail down the victory for his second save of the season.
The Honu (11-15) took a 1-0 lead in the second frame as Corey Brown scored from third on Shaw's two-out wild pitch.
Honolulu (14-12) rallied in the sixth inning, however, as Honu reliever Jun Ho Ha (0-1) walked the bases loaded, and Jordan Abruzzo took advantage, ripping an RBI single up the middle to score Bradley Emaus. Sharks catcher Lars Davis then drove in Michael Taylor on a sacrifice fly to deep center field to put the purple-clad squad up 2-1.
Jim Rapoport and Abruzzo each led Honolulu with two hits apiece, while Brown notched North Shore's lone hit in defeat.
The squads return to Les Murakami Stadium tomorrow for the finale of a three-game set.
