For the second straight day, UCF pitchers held the University of Hawaii softball team to one hit and the 19th-ranked Knights advanced to the championship game of the Bank of Hawaii Invitational with a 6-0 win over the Rainbow Wahine on Sunday morning.

UCF went on to beat Washington 4-2 for the tournament championship in a game called after five innings due to an agreed upon time limit.

UH then bounced back to roll past UTEP 9-2 in the third-place game to close the weekend at 9-7 overall and 2-3 in the tournament.

UCF starter Shelby Turnier, who struck out 13 in a shutout of UH on Saturday, posted nine more strikeouts over five innings to earn the win again on Sunday. Jamie Ujvari had five strikeouts in two innings of relief.

The Knights, the designated home team, scored five runs on two-out hits, starting with Jessica Ujvari’s solo home run in the bottom of the first inning off of UH starter Kanani Aina Cabrales.

Leading 2-0, Linnea Goodman added a two-out RBI triple in the second and drove in another run in with a single in the fourth. UCF put two runners on in the fifth and Farrah Suliivan drilled a single, again with two out, to drive in both.

UH waited through two games before taking on UTEP for third place and jumped ahead with two runs in the bottom of the first on RBI singles by Keiki Carlos and Sarina Jaramillo.

The Wahine added two more runs in the second on Heather Morales’ double off the right-field fence. Lindsey Willmon drove in two more in the fifth with a double to right center and Ulu Matagiese and Jaramillo delivered RBI singles in UH’s three-run rally in the sixth.

UH starter Brittany Hitchcock gave up two runs on six hits and struck out two over 4 2/3 innings and picked up the win. Kanani Aina Cabrales threw 2 1/3 innings of shutout relief to earn her first save of the season.

Jaramillo represented UH on the all-tournament team. UCF’s Mackenzie Audas was named the tournament’s most valuable pitcher and Washington’s Taylor Van Zee was the most valuable player.
