KEAAU — There’s nothing fancy about Kamehameha junior Kyran Kai, who rears back like a catcher and fires strikes and scoreless innings, especially in pivotal BIIF games.
Sophomore ace Tai Atkins and Kai combined on a one-hitter, and the Warriors defeated Konawaena 11-1 in a six-inning TKO Division II game Saturday at Kame‘eiamoku Baseball Field.
Atkins was effectively wild. The lanky left-hander surrendered an unearned run on one hit and four walks and whiffed six for the win. Kai, a junior right-hander, fired two perfect innings and struck out one.
Bryce Furuli batted 2 for 2 with three RBIs to ignite the Warriors (10-1), whose patience at the plate led to runs.
