Eli Iopa and Kanoa Naumu combined on a no-hitter and the OBRL Hawaiian Islanders scored its runs in the sixth inning without the benefit of a hit in a 2-0 victory over Co-County, Idaho, on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Babe Ruth 13U World Series in Glen Allen, Va.

Iopa walked one, hit three batters, struck out seven and threw 92 pitches over 6 1/3 innings. Naumu, who walked one, retired the final two batters for the save.

The Islanders (4-1) will play Altoona, Pa., in a semifinal game today at 1 p.m.

The only trouble Iopa got into was in the top of the sixth when Co-County had runners at first and second with one out, but a fly out and ground out retired the side.

The first three hitters in the Islanders’ sixth reached on errors. Naumu got aboard on an error by the Co-County right fielder and Cole Andrus reached on an error by the pitcher on a bunt. Levi Perry bunted to the third baseman and an error allowed Naumu to score and advance two runners into scoring position. Perry later stole home for the second run of the inning.
