The Hawaii baseball team overtook UC Riverside for a 10-5 victory today at Les Murakami Stadium. A crowd of 2,253 saw the Rainbow Warriors sweep the three-game series and move into a tie for fourth place in the Big West. UH and Cal State Fullerton are both 13-11 in league play, although the ’Bows hold the tie-breaker.
The top five teams qualify for the Big West Tournament. The Highlanders took a 5-4 lead on two unique plays. With the bases loaded with one out, Lucas Bonham hit what appeared to be a double-play grounder toward UH second baseman Noah Rodriguez.
But the ball struck second-base umpire Matt McMahon, who was unsuccessful in jumping out of the way. By rule, it was deemed an RBI single that tied it at 4 and reloaded the bases. Andrew Rivas then hit a fly ball that center fielder Kamana Nahaku dropped.
