Tacoma Upsets Hawai’i in 10 Innings
HONOLULU – Tacoma finally hit home runs by smashing two en route to a 7-5 upset of then-undefeated Hawai’i. Although, the Aroma finally displayed an efficient offense, it still took ten innings to put away the Kats. The big moment came in the top of the tenth when Lewis Salers hit a two-run homer that put Tacoma (2-4) up for good. Brian Iafratti also hit his first home run of the season.
For Hawai’i (5-1), the loss marks their first of the season, and it destroyed the visage of invincibility they had accrued through the first weeks of the season. The Kats, however, still command a one-game lead in the Western Division as they are set to begin a six-game home stand with San Antonio on Saturday. Tacoma finally gets to travel home after six games to play Boulder on Saturday.
