Baseball ‘Bows fall to UC Irvine
Good Friday turned into a bad Friday night for the Hawaii baseball team in Irvine, Calif.
UC Irvine took advantage of key UH mistakes and a struggling bullpen for a 12-4 victory at Anteater Field.
The Anteaters scored two runs to tie it at 3 when second baseman Dustin Demeter mishandled a two-out, bases-loaded popup in the fifth inning. In the sixth, the Anteaters took advantage of a Jeremy Yelland’s balk that put Jake Palmer at second base. Palmer scored the go-ahead run on freshman Brendan Brooks’ double.
The Anteaters moved out of reach with a six-run eighth.
The ’Bows (15-9 and 1-1 in Big West) and Anteaters (14-11 and 1-1) meet Saturday in the finale of this three-game series.
