PAHOA – Failure to throw strikes and mental errors will take a toll on any baseball coach.
Kohala’s ability to limit both snafus Monday left Vern Karratti in a better place than Pahoa’s Scott Salfen.
Pitchers Dreg’n Roque-Lewis and Kaimi Hook kept the Daggers off-balance, and the Cowboys took advantage of myriad Pahoa base running errors in an 8-3 victory in a BIIF Division II game.
“Pitching has been good for us this year,” Karratti said. “We have a lot of pitchers.
“What’s been killing us is errors. We weren’t that bad this game.”
Kohala (3-6) struck for four runs in the first as Pahoa starter Lava Benn struggled with his command and lasted just five batters, giving up hits to Jayven Amanonce and Austin Salvador-Racoma.
