Box Score

HONOLULU - The University of Hawai`i Rainbow baseball team (26-24, 7-17 WAC) fell to the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (17-29-1, 9-16 WAC) 3-1 in front of a crowd of 2,758 at the Les Murakami Stadium Friday. Ricky Bauer (3-5) took the loss for the 'Bows while Jon Lockwood (3-3) got the win for Louisiana Tech.

Both pitchers held the offense at bay for the first five innings. The Bulldogs then got to Bauer, scoring two runs in the top of the sixth. Hawai`i would come back in the bottom half of the inning as Andrew Sansaver drove in Joshua Green to cut the deficit 2-1.

Louisiana Tech scored another run in the seventh giving Lockwood more than he needed as the righty gave up just three hits and no earned runs in the teams' first complete game of the season.

Isaac Omura extended his hitting streak to nine games with a 2-for-3 night. Brian Bock picked up the other UH hit with a double on a 1-for-3 performance.

The two teams will play again tomorrow at 6:35 p.m. at the Les Murakami Stadium. UH's Christopher George is scheduled to pitch against Adam Kirkendall of Louisiana Tech.
