Hilo graduate Joey Jarneski produced gems on the mound for his entire BIIF career, and he was never better than his final season.
The 6-foot, 190-pound right-hander was either an ace or ace-in-waiting for the Vikings, who relied on him in big games since he was a freshman.
Jarneski went 2-2 with a 3.13 ERA in 24 2/3 innings during his senior season. He allowed 26 hits, walked five and struck out 21. The part-time second baseman batted .457 with 14 RBIs in 16 games and 46 at-bats.
But his pitching stats don’t tell the whole story.
