First baseman Bryan Lee followed Higa with another single to center advancing Higa to third. Kenji Takanishi then hit a sizzling grounder between third and short to score Higa putting Lee on second. A passed ball allowed the runners to move up with still one out in the inning. Jacob Flick grounded out to the third baseman scoring Lee from third. Designated hitter Kukui Lucas singled to left scoring Takanishi from second giving Hawaii a 3-1 lead.  Delaware got back a run in the top of the fourth but gave it
right back in the bottom half of the inning when Roy Dunlap
singled to left and moved to third on Higa's second hit of the game, this time to

the Delaware third baseman couldn't make the tough throw to first. Higa was caught

It was then left up to Correa who retired the side for the complete game victory. |
