Highlanders Fight but Fall in Series Finale

HONOLULU, Hawaii - UC Riverside wrapped up the series against the University of Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors with a Sunday afternoon showdown at Les Murakami stadium. Despite pounding out six hits, Highlander offense couldn't overcome Hawai'i and fell 11-3.

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • Hawai'i jumped ahead early with a five-run second inning. They extended their lead in the third with three more runs. 
  • Hawaii defense stifled the Highlanders until the sixth inning when Jayden Lopez grounded out to score Zachary Chamizo and put the Highlanders on the board. 
  • Two Rainbow Warrior home runs in the sixth inning widened their lead, 10-1. 
  • Zachary Chamizo hit a home run and Dominic Martinez hit a ground-out RBI for a big eighth inning for UC Riverside. 

HIGHLANDER HIGHLIGHTS 

  • Zachary Chamizo went one for four with two runs and one RBI, including a homerun, his third of the season. 
  • Cole Koniarsky continued to show up to the plate, hitting three for four with one run and two doubles.
