March 27, 2008 Lacey, WA – Saint Martin’s fell behind early and couldn’t come back as they lost to the University of Hawaii Hilo 10-7 in non-conference action Thursday afternoon at Saints Field. Ronel Trias led off the game with a double down the left field line for Hilo and scored on back to back singles. A ground out and single later in the inning would give the Vulcans the 3-0 lead. Hilo tacked on five more in the fourth inning capped off by a two run single to right center by Shane Kessel. They would add two more in the fifth. Saint Martin’s plated one run in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. They cut into UHH’s lead with two runs in the seventh on an RBI single by Nate Baker and a sacrifice fly by Craig Yuhas. The Saints tried to rally in the ninth. Andy Cole singled to lead off the inning and came around to score on a single by Baker. Tanner Gronowski would bring Baker home three batters later on a single to left to pull within three but that’s as close as they would get. Carlo Ramirez led the Saints with three hits including a triple and two singles. Cole, Baker and Brandon Kuykendall had two hits apiece. Brian Shannon picked up the win for the Vulcans throwing seven innings and allowing five runs while walking two and striking out three. Pat Capone was hit with the loss for the Saints. Saint Martin’s will play a doubleheader tomorrow against Hilo starting at noon at Saints Field.
