Hilo just barely squeaked by Pahoa 4-3 in the second game of the evening.

The game was a close game and although games are normally 7 innings, this one came to an end at 5 innings due to the tournament and time limitations.

Who knows what would have happened if there would have been a couple more innings to play.  It was a great showing by the Pahoa team despite the one point loss.

There was quite a large crowd by the time 6:00 rolled around and as the game ended due to time restrictions, the girls shook hands.

The night cap game was Waiakea vs. Keaau, but I didn’t stay for that game so I don’t have the results.
