Seton Hall first baseman Connor Hood (35) gets Hawaii outfielder Adam Fogel (18) at first base on a double play off a fly ball by Kekai Rios during the third inning on Friday at Les Murakami Stadium.
Seton Hall pounded 12 hits, including 10 in the first five innings, en route to a 5-1 baseball victory over Hawaii tonight at Les Murakami Stadium.
The Pirates essentially won a doubleheader. Earlier, the Pirates outlasted the ’Bows, 9-8, in 11 innings in a game that was suspended in the seventh inning Friday because of heavy rain.
In the second Saturday game, Connor Hood’s two-run triple broke a 1-all tie in the third. It was Hood’s third hit of the season and second of this series. He hit a solo homer on Friday.
Billy Layne, making his second start of the season, pitched a three-hitter over five innings for his first victory. Dominic DeMiero, who was ousted with two on and no outs in the fifth, suffered the loss.
