And yes two tough games today, historically Nevada has been a “pain” in the okole for Hawaii-never an easy win and always a battle for some reason and Utah probably looking to get some revenge on us after we beat them 1-0 last year on a VERY horrendous call by the home plate umpire that cost Utah the game. Essentially what happened was our batter pulled a ball that clearly went foul right in front of the 3rd baseman, but the home plate umpire claimed the 3rd baseman for Utah touched it…. the ball clearly sailed at least a foot and a half in front of her and should have been ruled foul. We had a runner at 3rd and that’s how we scored the final and only run of the game.

Having said the above, GO WAHINE!!!

Least we forget, the Rainbow Wahine Softball has lit up teams in Las Vegas and has also been on the receiving end of getting lit up themselves.

As great as Ricketts and Parnaby were during their tenure, they have both admitted in the past that at higher altitudes balls break differently and pitching isn’t exactly the same as opposed to sea level.

YES our young pitchers have yielded too many hits and runs, but as the cliche goes “better now than later”.

Regardless of what happens tomorrow against a steady nemesis Nevada and PAC 12 foe Utah, we’ll see how this past tournament’s results will impact Morales and Kesterson mentally. Personally Im more concerned about Morales processing what has happened in this tourney cause she is a true freshman. I still think Morales will eventually be fine as she didn’t play for one of the nation’s TOP travel clubs and was recruited by other BCS conference programs in the same way Kelly Elms (Majam) was.
