The Krill victimized Trops starter Slobodan Omeragic for six runs on two hits and SEVEN walks in 3.2 innings. Bikini starter Nelson Williams held Hawaii’s offense at bay allowing just a run over 5.1 innings. His bullpen did the rest holding the Trops to a run the final 3.2 innings.
The Hawaii offense scored both runs on solo homers by Jose Ordonez (2) and Jeff Appleton (2). Rivera is still on fire going 3 for 4 but those hits were wasted as he was stranded on base.
Bikini wins the series 2-1.
The Trops have gone 4-8 in May but are still within striking distance of Pacific front runner Portland, second place Bikini and tied with Sacramento. Portland and Sacramento have been playing .500 ball in that time, while Bikini is 7-5.
