Hawaii’s Maya Nakamura extended her hot start and freshman Chloe Borges earned her second straight complete-game victory in the Rainbow Wahine softball team’s 3-1 win over North Dakota in the Outrigger Hawaii Invitational on Friday.
Nakamura went 3-for-3 and drove in a run to help the Rainbow Wahine (3-5) earn a split of their doubleheader at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. The sophomore second baseman is 12-for-17 in UH’s past five games to raise her season batting average to .583.
Borges struck out three and allowed six hits in her second win of the tournament.
In UH’s first game of the night, Abilene Christian scored on two Wahine errors and pitcher Riley White held the Rainbow Wahine to three singles in a 2-0 win.
