Since being swept by Hilo in the BIIF semifinals, Waiakea had exactly 18 days to get ready for the HHSAA baseball tournament.
Before heading to Oahu, the Warriors scrimmaged against themselves and they scrimmaged against Kamehameha-Hawaii.
Somewhere along the way, one Waiakea player got his swing back. Ryder Oshiro’s double in the bottom of the seventh inning Wednesday brought in the winning run, giving the Warriors a 4-3 victory against Kailua at Les Murakami Stadium in Honolulu.
“Ryder hit well in the beginning of the year, and we knew he had big hits in him,” coach Rory Inouye said.
