KAILUA-KONA — The fourth time proved to be the charm for Hilo. And it came just at the right time.
After three tight losses to Kealakehe this season, the Vikings rose up for a 12-10 victory at Old Kona Airport Park on Saturday, keeping their season alive and evening the BIIF Division I best-of-three semifinal series with the Waveriders at 1-1.
“We just stressed to the girls to believe,” Hilo head coach Kelly Galdones said. “We felt we were one inning away every game we had played Kealakehe this season, we just had too many errors. The girls played a complete game today and believed in themselves.
