The Rainbow Wahine softball team split its doubleheader on Friday in Riverside, Calif., winning the first game 8-5 before losing the second game 7-5.

In the first game, Hawaii fell behind 4-0 after three innings before getting on the board with one in the fourth and four in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead. After Riverside tied it 5-5 in the bottom half. UH went ahead with two in the sixth and an insurance run in the seventh. Mya’Liah Bethea blasted solo home runs in the fifth and seventh innings for Hawaii, and Chloe Borges drove in three runs on an RBI double in the fourth and a two-run single in the fifth.

Hawaii stayed hot to open the second game, exploding for five runs in the first inning powered by a grand slam by Borges. But from there it was all Riverside, as the Highlanders scored seven unanswered runs to flip the script on Hawaii from the first game. After scoring one run in the second, the Highlanders scored five runs in the fourth to take the lead, then added an insurance run in the fifth.
