Seasiders Take Two From Silverswords

Laie, HI-Brigham Young University-Hawaii freshman pitcher Kassiopeia Hood pitched a one-hit shutout today to lead the Seasiders to a 1-0 victory over Chaminade. In the second game, Juanita Vega drove in two runs and then scored a run to help the Seasiders defeat the Silverswords, 3-1 and complete the doubleheader sweep.

Hood (1-4) only faced 24 batters in seven innings and picked up her first win of the season. The Seasiders scored the winning run in the bottom of the fourth inning when Susanna Wilcox singled through the right side of the infield to score Vega from second base. Vega scored two runs and drove in two of the four runs the Seasiders scored today. All four Seasider runs were unearned.

In the bottom of the third inning of game two, Vega hit a two-out single down the left field line to score Alisha Durrette and Maggie Reynolds. Vega scored from second base when Jillian Umeda, the Silverswords' second baseman, misplayed Lyza Halas' hit.

Tracy Bonomi (4-1) was on the mound for the Seasiders in the second game and won her fourth game of the season. Bonomi survived a scare in the top of the fifth as the Silverswords loaded the bases for pitcher Melissa Marquez with one out. Marquez singled in one run, but cleanup hitter Loihi McKeague got out on an infield fly rule and Kimberly Balles popped up to the catcher.

The Seasiders' record moves to 6-10, 3-3. They will host HPU tomorrow at 12:00 and 2:00 pm.
