MEDIA RELEASE
They got hits but couldn’t push across the runs as the University of Hawaii at Hilo dropped their season opening Pacific West Conference doubleheader to Hawaii Pacific University 8-1 and 4-2 (9) at Wong Stadium in Hilo.
“We just didn’t play very well the whole day,†said UHH head coach Joey Estrella. “I don’t know if we’re trying too hard, not trying hard enough or not executing but we have to play a lot better than these two games. When you have a chance to win it in your half of the inning, you’ve got to do it. We didn’t take advantage of any opportunities they gave us.
“We just didn’t have it tonight. We’re hoping to come back tomorrow.â€
The Vulcans are 3-5 overall and 0-2 in the PacWest while the Sea Warriors are 2-0 overall and 2-0 in the PacWest.
In game one, Ronnie Loeffler was off to another good pitching outing before a ball, lost in the sun, fell in for a double. That led to a 5-run, 5-hit inning for the Sea Warriors aided by two errors. Of the seven runs Loeffler allowed only two were earned. He finished with five strikeouts.
Ronel Trias pushed across the Vulcans run with a two-out single in the fifth. Trias and Kalehua Moniz collected two hits each in the game.
Game two’s starter Kekoa Lee had seven strong innings before turning the mound over to Tyler Simao. Lee gave up just two hits on six hits while striking out three. Simao (0-1) gave up just three hits over the final two innings.
Shane Kessel had two of the Vulcans’ seven hits. The Vulcans stranded six hits.
