Rainbow Warriors Finish Off Sweep of Tulane

HONOLULU – The Hawai'i baseball team used the long ball and another dominant combined effort on the mound to complete a three-game weekend sweep of Tulane with a 5-1 win Sunday at Les Murakami Stadium.
 
Sean Rimmer and Kyson Donahue each hit key home runs while Alex Giroux, Ben Zeigler-Namoa, Harrison Bodendorf and Connor Harrison teamed up on the mound to hold the Green Wave to just one run for the third straight game.
 
The 'Bows (12-8) got on the board first for the third consecutive game, pushing one run across in the first inning. After Zeigler-Namoa led off with a single and moved to second on a bunt, Matt Wong came up with two outs and delivered a base hit to center to plate Zeigler-Namoa and make it 1-0.
 
The Green Wave (6-18) tied things up at one with an unearned run in the top of the fifth, but Rimmer put UH right back in front with a line drive solo shot that stayed just fair down the left field line, making it 2-1.
 
Zeigler-Namoa provided some key insurance with a two-out single in the seventh to make it 3-1 before Donahue hit a towering shot out to right field for the second-straight game on a two-run homer in the eighth to extend the lead.
 
Giroux got his second start of the year and worked four shutout innings with five strikeouts before giving way to Zeigler-Namoa who threw the fifth inning and picked up the win. Bodendorf relieved him, making an appearance for the second day in a row, working the next two scoreless frames with a pair of strikeouts. Harrison took the mound in the eighth and recorded his fifth save of the year with two strikeouts over two innings.
 
Donahue capped off his monster weekend going 5-for-12 with two homers and eight RBIs while extending his hitting streak to 12 games. Zeigler-Namoa turned in his second-straight three-hit game, going 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI, finishing the series 6-for-11 with three runs scored.
 
Hawai'i pitching kept the Green Wave off balance all weekend, ending the three-game series with allowing just three runs, two earned, to post a 0.67 ERA with 33 strikeouts to just six walks.
 
The Rainbow Warriors jump back into Big West action, opening a three-game series at Cal State Fullerton Friday at 3 p.m. HT.
