Two home runs and 11 base hits isn’t what fans are used to seeing from opponents at University of Hawaii at Hilo softball games, but the Concordia Irvine Eagles did just that Saturday to ruin what was a good start for the Vulcans after a 21-day layoff.
It all added up for a split in the first Pacific West Conference doubleheader of the season for the Vulcans (7-5, 1-1 in PWC), who took a tightly played 1-0 win in the opener and lost an 8-1 thrashing by the Eagles (11-7, 1-3) at the UHH softball field.
The two meet again Sunday with the first game scheduled for noon, the second to follow approximately 30 minutes later.
