The 2016 season was filled with heartbreak for the Konawaena baseball team. The Wildcats watched as several games slipped through the cracks in the late innings as the team struggled to find consistency in the field and on the hill.
Despite Konawaena’s untimely walks and errors, which normally came in the fifth inning or later, and usually sent games spiraling out of control, the Wildcats still managed to place second in the league in Division II, finishing runner-up to Kamehameha.
However, Konawaena couldn’t stay out of its own way in the state tournament, falling to Kapolei at Wong Stadium in a first round game the Wildcats should have won.
