HONOLULU—The No. 18/19 University of Hawai`i softball team (22-1) bounced back with a 6-0 win over Marist (6-11). Junior pitcher Kaia Parnaby fired her second career no-hitter with a career high 14 strike outs to lead UH to the win on the second day of the Chevron Spring Fling Tournament at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
 
Parnaby, a southpaw from Bilgola Plateau, New South Wales, Australia, tossed seven innings for her 10th complete game win and sixth shut-out of the season—her third straight. She faced just two batters over the minimum—one was a throwing error by herself and the other runner reached on a seventh inning walk. 
 
The Rainbow Wahine and Red Foxes were scoreless through the first three innings until the bottom of the fourth inning when UH erupted for five runs. After a leadoff strike out, Jessica Iwata and Alex Aguirre both drew walks to put runners at first and second. Later after a fly out, Leisha Li`ili`i laced a single through the rightside of the infield that drove in Iwata from second. Then, pinch runner Jazmine Zamora came for Li`ili`i at first bases and she and Aguirre then executed a double steal to score UH's second run. On the play Aguirre slid away and her hand swiped the bases just before the tag. Makani Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu then drove in Zamora from second base with an opposite-field single to right. Dara Pagaduan followed with an infield single, beating out the throw from short to put runners at first and second for Kelly Majam who hit a line shot single to centerfield to score pinch runner Rachel Paragas from third base and Pagaduan hustled into third. Another double steal with runners at the corners gave UH a 5-0 lead with Pagaduan crossing the plate before Majam was tagged out for the final out of the inning.
 
In the sixth, Duhaylonsod-Kaleimamahu got her second hit of the game with a home run to left that bounced off the Marist leftfielder's glove and over the fence for UH's sixth run.

Marist's Emily Osterhaus also threw a complete game, giving up six runs on seven hits with four walks and three strike outs.
 
Hawai`i will continue their Chevron Spring Fling Tournament tomorrow against No. 1/2 California at 6:30 p.m.
