In a not-so-fond farewell, the Hawaii baseball team fell to Long Beach State 9-4 at Blair Field on the LBSU campus.

Saturday’s senior-night crowd of 2,212 saw the visiting Rainbow Warriors surrender 15 hits and commit two errors — both by pitchers — in suffering their sixth consecutive loss.

The ’Bows finished the 2019 season at 20-30 overall and 8-16 in the Big West. The Dirtbags, who opened the series with 10 setbacks in a row and fired their head coach at midseason, ended at 14-41 and 8-16.

“I thought we didn’t play well,” UH coach Mike Trapasso said in a telephone interview. “We didn’t pitch well as a starter.”

Logan Pouelsen entered with a 0.69 ERA in his previous two starts. But on Saturday, he lasted only 11⁄3 innings and 10 batters, giving up five runs, two of them earned.

“He just wasn’t good from the get-go,” Trapasso said of Pouelsen. “He had several good starts in a row. But this one was not.”

It appeared the ’Bows’ offense would be able to carry the generous pitching. The ’Bows scored all their runs in the first three innings, when they trailed 5-4.

“I thought it was going to be one of those dogfights,” Trapasso said.

But in the 64-degree weather, Trapasso noted, “the offense went cold the last six innings, and we couldn’t do anything.”

The Warriors were held scoreless on four hits in the final six innings against John Sheaks and Zak Baayoun. “And that’s all she wrote,” Trapasso said.

In a role reversal, Sheaks was making his fifth start in 15 appearances, and Baayoun, who started 12 games, was used out of the bullpen. Sheaks, who entered with a 7.84 ERA, allowed four runs — three of them earned — in 51⁄3 innings. Baayoun did not allow a run the rest of the way.

Chase Luttrell and Jacob Hughey each had three hits for the Dirtbags. Hughey also drove in three runs on a sacrifice fly for a 5-3 lead in the second inning and a two-run triple in the fourth. The Dirtbags, who had two extra-base hits in the first two games of the series, broke through with three triples and two doubles on Saturday.

“I don’t think we played well defensively,” Trapasso said. “We misjudged a couple of fly balls that got into the books as triples that coulda, shoulda been caught. But they weren’t, so they’re triples.”

Once again the ’Bows had to cobble a lineup that was rearranged because of injuries. With shortstop Maaki Yamazaki unable to make deep throws because of a sore right shoulder, Jack Kennelly played short, Daylen Calicdan was at second, Brennen Hancock in left field, and Yamazaki was the DH.

Kennelly was recruited as a second baseman. Before this series, Calicdan had not played second since Feb. 17. Hancock, the usual DH, played left field for the second time this season.

Pouelsen’s throwing error led to the Dirtbags’ three unearned runs in the first inning. Kash Koltermann’s throwing error opened the way for the Dirtbags’ three-run fourth.

“Unfortunately, a couple of errors by the pitchers gave them five unearned runs,” Trapasso said.

Trapasso added: “I wish we could have played better on this trip and, win or lose, give a little better showing. But, obviously, we didn’t, and we have to deal with it.”
