Hilo rained on the baseball diamond, and it wasn’t just from the skies. In the feature game at the Senior Little League Tournament, Hilo’s bats rained hit after hit against the visitors from Central Maui. After a scoreless first inning, Hilo started its scoring in the bottom of the second with two runs. Hilo continued scoring by plating four runs in the third inning and seven runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Hilo starter Bradley Waiki got the shutout win with relief help in the fifth inning. The game was ended at the top of the fifth inning due to a ten run mercy ruling. Hilo won the game 13-0 over Maui.
Games will continue on Saturday with the Championship Game 10:00 a.m. on Sunday at the Walter Victor Stadium.
