I was at the Ching Complex when I heard the baseball crowd roar real loud. Congrats to the baseball team for a great come-from-behind victory. Earlier, I was watching the softball team put away Purdue 4-1 behind Brittany Hitchcock’s pitching. She was voted the outstanding pitcher for the Hawaii Pacific Health Rainbow Wahine Classic where the Wahine went 6-1.

No lead was safe when UH was playing baseball on the road in the old WAC at altitude – Provo, Salt Lake City, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Albuquerque, Laramie (7,200 ft altitude). Lazy fly balls turning into HRs. Led to some ridiculous football-like scores.

1989.

Don’t remember the deficit.

But Hawaii came back against San Diego State.

On the negative side, I recall Hawaii being up some ridiculous score, maybe 12-1, and lost at Air Force.

One of the best comebacks was against New Mexico. The year escapes me since it was either back in the 70’s or 80’s. Hawaii was down 10 runs to 1 going into the bottom of the 9th inning and won the game 11 to 10.

#7, Yeah well probably so. Anyway you slice it Hawaii under Trap is still a .500 team.

I was simply making a point that the atmosphere at Murakami stadium is different now. Considering the standing room only crowd on Thursday and the $5 per ticket night, I guess I was deafened by the raucous crowd and I knew I had to beat the traffic.

But, great win for the bows and the players. Congratulations for a great come from behind win!

I have been a believer in Yogi Berra’s saying, “it ain’t over until it’s over” at a young age. My little league team was down 7-0 going into the bottom of the last inning – and scored 8 to win. I tend to hold on to hope for comebacks more than my friends as a result. I am glad that I did not give up on the Base Bows today.

808, prior day’s post, you would have left the baseball game when the Bows were down 1-5 or 4-10 and missed them winning 11-10. Has to be one of the best comebacks in UH baseball history.

Well, that was interesting. Baseball ‘Bows trailed 10-4 entering the bottom of the eighth, then scored five in the eighth and two in the ninth after two outs for an 11-10 win. Team is scrappy.
