Hawai’i Extends Winning Streak to Five
HONOLULU – Jesse Wimberly hit his second home run of the season in the fifth inning to propel Hawai’i over Tacoma Saturday night. The game was a literal stalemate until Wimberly’s 381 foot smash to left field. It was the first run scored on Tacoma’s Jason Salers all season. For Hawai’i (5-0), the win clinched a victory in the three-game series with Tacoma, and it also perpetuated their winning streak to five games. For the Aroma (1-4), the game marked another disappointment from a team that was supposed to be one of the best in the Western Division. Tacoma showed definite weaknesses in base-running, and the team has yet to hit a home run.
Hawai’i hosts Tacoma on Tuesday to wrap up the series.
