Jackson Rees pitched a seven-hitter over seven innings and Kekai Rios had four hits to lead Hawaii to a 5-3 baseball victory over UC Davis today at Dobbins Field in Davis, Calif.
Rees, who did not allow a hit in his final 2 2/3 innings, exited after issuing a leadoff walk in the eighth. Dylan Thomas relieved and induced a double play. Thomas pitched two scoreless innings for his eighth save.
The opening of this three-game Big West series was to start on Friday. But it was moved to today because of expected heavy rain on Friday.
The teams hope to play Friday and/or Saturday. If not, they have left open the possibility of playing a doubleheader on Sunday.
UH is 17-10 overall and 4-1 in the Big West. UC Davis fell to 8-16 and 1-3.
