SAN JOSE, Calif. - The No. 29 University of Hawai`i Rainbow baseball team (40-13, 17-6 WAC) finished the regular season with a win over the San Jose State Spartans (33-24, 12-12) 3-1 at Municipal Stadium Sunday. Ian Harrington (7-3) allowed just one run on five hits with seven strikeouts and a walk to get the victory.

Justin Frash went 1-for-3 with a RBI, a run and a double. Luis Avila added a 1-for-4 game with a RBI while Jonathan Hee went 1-for-3 with a run.

Avila started the `Bows off in the first inning, driving in Frash to give UH a 1-0 edge.

UH put up another run in the fourth as Derek DuPree drove in Jorge Franco to push their edge to 3-0.

But Hawai`i had missed opportunities to add to their advantage while the Spartans were able to put up their first earned run of the series in the bottom of the sixth, cutting it back to 3-1. Harrington was able to hold SJSU off the scoreboard in the seventh with Davis shutting down the Spartan offense in the final two innings to close out the victory.
