Baseball Top 10: No. 1 Kamehameha faces 3-game slate
The Kamehameha Warriors racked up eight of nine first-place votes to lead the Star-Advertiser Baseball Top 10 this week.
Kamehameha edged ‘Iolani 6-5, then blanked Mid-Pacific 4-0 and stifled Maryknoll 9-2 last week. At 5-0, the Warriors share first place in the ILH with upstart Damien, which moved up a notch to No. 4 in the Top 10.
The Warriors have another three-game week ahead. They meet Damien today at Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park. Kamehameha plays Saint Louis on Thursday at CORP, and Mid-Pacific on Saturday at Ala Wai.
Damien came up clutch in wins over Mid-Pacific, 3-2; Maryknoll, 13-4; and Saint Louis, 6-5.
No. 2 Mililani stayed busy while most OIA teams enjoyed down time during spring break. In exhibition games, the Trojans lost to Kaiser, 7-1, and beat Kalani, 11-4. Mililani returns to regular-season play with road games at Campbell (Wednesday) and Leilehua (Saturday).
Kamehameha-Maui took a 2-1 series over Baldwin last week and landed in the Top 10 at No. 8. Baldwin dropped from No. 3 to No. 6, just one point ahead of Kailua.
