HONOLULU—The No. 20/23 University of Hawai'i softball team (17-5, 0-0 Big West) concludes its non-conference tournaments this week with the Chevron Spring Fling tourney which runs from March 13-16. The high-caliber invitational features No. 5 California (20-2), No. 19 Baylor (22-3), Syracuse (5-10) and Utah (13-6-1). The 'Bows are at the tail end of a three-week homestand in which they will have played 19 games in 18 days at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
 
Four Rainbow Wahine are hitting over the .300 mark—led by senior centerfielder Kelly Majam. Majam is hitting .354 (23-for-65) and leads UH with 23 hits, 22 runs scored, seven home runs, 16 walks, a .488 on-base percentage,  .754 slugging percentage and she is 5-for-5 in stolen bases. Freshman rightfielder/pitcher Keiki Carlos has been a solid hitter in the No. 2 slot in the order for UH. She is hitting .322 (19-for-59) with 11 of her 19 hits going for extra bases. Carlos leads the 'Bows with eight doubles.

Last week, she helped lead Hawai´i to a 3-0 record at the Pepsi Malihini Kipa Aloha Tournament. She posted six hits in eight at bats for a .750 average during the tournament.
