UH alumni shine in spring training

Former University of Hawaii third baseman Vinnie Catricala hit his second home run of the spring with the Seattle Mariners, finishing 1-for-4 in a 6-4 win over Texas in a Cactus League game in Peoria, Ariz., on Monday.

Catricala, a 10th-round pick of the Mariners in 2009, is hitting .316 (6-for-19) this spring with three RBIs.

Former Hawaii All-American Kolten Wong, a first-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals last summer, drove in the game-winning run with a two-out single in the bottom of the ninth of the Cardinals’ 5-4 win over Atlanta on Monday in Jupiter, Fla.

Wong, who laid down a sacrifice bunt as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, drew a walk in his only other plate appearance this spring.

Jon Hee, who won a Gold Glove at Hawaii in 2008, scored as a pinch runner on a walk-off two-run home run in Boston’s 5-3, 10-inning victory over Miami on Monday in Lee County, Fla.

Hee was a 21st-round draft pick by the Red Sox in 2008.
