Baseball Dominates Trojans

Coming off a 1-1 performance last weekend at Seabury Hall, the Farmers baseball team had its 2011 home debut at Duke Maliu Regional Field last weekend and improved to 3-1.

With the help of a solid pitching game by Ka`oli Place, the Farmers shut out the Trojans 11-0 on Friday night. “I think I pitched well. I wanted a [win],” he said. The Farmers won again on Saturday, 17-2 over St. Anthony. David Rapanot led the team and went three for four with three runs and five RBIs.

“I’m pleased overall. Everything’s coming together really nicely,” coach Mike McCutcheon said.

The baseball team will play Lanai in their last home series this weekend, April 8-9.
