Hawaii scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning plating 2 runs utilizing 3 base hits. After an out was recorded, Riley Adams opened up the rally as he ripped a single. Connor Joe came to the plate and drew a walk. De La Cruz then ripped a one-base hit plating a run. Jurickson Profar followed, but he was set down on strikes. Michael Harris stepped into the box and delivered a single resulting in a mighty exciting win for Hawaii and the 47,144 home town fans in attendance. Hawaii totaled 10 hits on the night.
The win went to Derek Law(1-2) who allowed 1 run in 1 and 1/3 innings. Raisel Iglesias(1-1) was charged with the loss in relief. 'Now there is a lesson in perseverance for you,' De La Cruz noted. 'It was looking pretty dim there for a while, but we just kept plugging away and it really paid off in spades! And it was great to see the crowd go crazy there at the end!'
