Hawai’i Cruises in Opener

BOULDER, CO – Despite the concerns of many that the Hawai’i Kats would be beaten as much by the cold weather as by Boulder in Thursday night’s opening game of Blue House Baseball, the Kats brought out the lumber and smashed homer after homer en route to a 9-1 victory. With the low temperature quickly approaching zero, Boulder (0-1) struggled to find an answer for the Kat’s hot hitting.

Hawai’i (1-0) debuted in its gray, yet colorful, uniforms and dazzled the Bunion crowd. On the very first at-bat Chad Fouts crushed a home run off of Jesse Loveday, and after that, the Kats cruised. Ronald Epstein hit two long balls on the night, and Aiden Peebles, the highly touted Kats hitter, hit a four-run shot in the ninth to seal the deal.

“It was a nice way to start a season,” Sergeant Peebles said following the win. “The guys really hit the ball well.” When asked about the cold conditions, Peebles simply stated, “We got used to it.”

The two teams meet again on Tuesday night in game two of a three game series.
