KEAAU – Kohala was licking its chops with its best hitter, sophomore slugger Mikayla Kekoa, at the plate with the bases loaded against Kamehameha, the perennial BIIF Division II powerhouse.
However, the Warriors followed Bill Belichick’s strategy that’s as old as a dinosaur: Don’t let the other team’s best player beat you.
On Saturday, Kamehameha thumped the Cowgirls 18-3 in a four-inning TKO game at Kamanawa softball field, mainly because Kohala had a subpar day in the three key areas: hitting, pitching, and defense.
The Cowgirls were held to two singles, allowed 17 hits (for the most part, hard-hit balls) and committed three errors, which led to seven unearned runs, including six in the first inning.
