Hawaii loses starter Leland ‘Griz’ Rogers after just 8 pitches but Cale Cote stepped up for his teammates. He tossed three scoreless innings giving up a hit, walked one and struck out three to win his 1st game of the season.
The offense took over from there putting up 7 runs before the Surfers put a run on the board. Miguel ‘Thrillseeker’ Martinez led the way with 3 hits including a solo homer (1) in the 5th inning. He drove in two runs and scored two runs. LF Eric Owens was 2 for 5 with a double (7), scored a run and drove in two. Owens is giving fans a look back to 2062’s version when he posted a 39 homer 133 RBI season for Hawaii. Atsushi Gato was 2 for 5 with a couple of RBI. Gato is given plenty of rest days to keep him fresh due to his fragile injury rating.
The Hawaii Tropics sweep the three-game series against the Long beach Surfers.
