The right situation came up and the execution was flawless as the University of Hawaii at Hilo beat 2nd-ranked Hawaii Pacific University 1-0 in the second game of a Pacific West Conference doubleheader on the UHH Softball Field.

The Vulcans (31-14 overall, 19-9 PacWest) fell 2-0 in the first game.

With one out and runners on first and third, third base coach James Hirayama gave the signal for the squeeze bunt. As the pitcher began her wind up, Jessica Schatz turned to face the ball. On the release, Nicole Alconcel broke for home. Schatz killed the ball just past the plate between the pitcher and first baseman. Alconcel tagged home plate just as the catcher caught the toss from the pitcher.

Sarah Weisskopf, in her final home game as a Vulcan, tossed the five-hit shutout with one strike out and no walks.

Alconcel was the only batter to pair hits.

The Sea Warriors (37-6, 22-4) jumped out with a 2-run first inning before Vulcan pitcher Amber Waracka shut them down on three hits and four strikeouts.

“It came down to their two walks and two singles in the first inning,” said interim head coach Fred Entilla. “We hit the ball but kept hitting them at people.”

Alconcel and Aisha Sueda picked up two hits each.
