Run on Gehrig Octavio at your own risk.
The Waiakea senior center fielder’s gun helped preserve a 2-1 win over Kamehameha in a BIIF baseball game Wednesday night at Wong Stadium, where the atmosphere felt like a championship.
“We knew it would be a battle against a state-caliber team like Kamehameha,” Waiakea coach Rory Inouye said. “It was good for our boys to play under this kind of pressure. From here on out (with the playoffs approaching), every game might be like this.”
In the bottom of the seventh, the drama was set for a Kamehameha storybook comeback, and the host team followed the script in a game where both teams threw their best arms.
