Box Score
 
In the Championship Game of the Paradise Classic, Washington got all the runs they needed for the win in the first inning on a two-run home run by Kaitlin Inglesby. It was the first runs that Parnaby had given up all tourney long.
 
Hawai`i's cut their deficit in half, posting one run in the bottom of the first. Li`ili`i started a two-out rally with an opposite field single through the leftside of the infield. UW starter Kasey Stanchek then walked the next two batters to load the bases, then walked Keiki Carlos to force Li`ili`i for the run.
 
The Huskies added another run in the top of the third on a solo shot to center by Hooch Fagaly.
 
The 'Bows tried to respond in the bottom of the third, as they loaded the bases, but Bryana Walker then came in relief for the Huskies and got two strike outs to stymie UH. Walker went on to hold the Hawai`i offense at bay with eight strike outs. She did not allow a runner to reach first base the rest of the game.
 
Parnaby (3-1) suffered her first loss of the season, allowing three runs on four hits with two walks and three strike outs in 4.2 innings. Parnaby threw in all six of UH's game and finished the tournament with a 0.85 ERA with 39 strike outs and three walks in 31.2 innings pitched. Carlos closed the game, tossing the final 2.1 innings. She did not allow a run and gave up one hit with three walks.
 
Hawai`i now hits the road for its annual trip to Las Vegas, Nev. to play in the UNLV's Easton Desert Classic, Feb. 14-17.
