Seattle’s Carley Nance hit a tie-breaking grand slam in the top of the fifth inning to power the Redhawks to an 8-4 win over the University of Hawaii softball team on Sunday in the final game of the Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Malihini Kipa Aloha Tournament.

Bailey Thompson went 3-for-4 and hit two homers to help Seattle take a 4-0 lead. Nance doubled as Seattle’s starting pitcher and designated hitter and was lifted in the bottom of the fourth inning as the Rainbow Wahine erased a 4-1 deficit on Bree Soma’s two-run homer and Callee Heen’s RBI single.

Shi Smith shut out UH (9-13) over the last three innings to earn the win. UH freshman Jetta Nannen (1-3) took the loss.
