KAPAAU – At the plate for her first career postseason at-bat, Kohala’s Mikayla Kekoa nearly came out of her shoes with a swing and a miss, practically fanning the sun-drenched fans at Kamehameha Park.
While the freshman slugger has the green light to swing for the fences, her teammates took a more measured approach with their cuts, and they obtained the desired result: hits and runs in bunches.
Spraying the ball all over their field Thursday, the hitter-happy Cowgirls got an efficient outing from surprise starter Kiana Alejandro-Cazimero and rode it to a 12-2 TKO victory in Game 1 of the BIIF Division II softball semifinals.
