Baseball Rallies, Routs San Diego State in Opener

HONOLULU – Facing a four-run deficit midway through Friday's series opener vs. San Diego State, the Hawai'i baseball team rallied for a 16-5 victory fueled by 13 unanswered runs in the fifth and sixth innings.
 
After falling behind 4-0 heading to the bottom of the fifth, the Rainbow Warriors responded in a huge way by scoring eight runs and sending 14 batters to the plate to jump in front 8-4. The first six UH batters of the inning reached base with Jake Tsukada and Austin Machado each drawing bases loaded HBPs and Matthew Miura delivering an RBI single to make it 4-3.
 
Stone Miyao tied it at four on a sacrifice fly and dropped fly ball before Dallas Duarte put the 'Bows in front for good on a two-RBI single. Two more runs came in to score in the frame, capped off by Tsukada getting hit by a pitch with the bases loaded again.
 
Hawai'i piled on in the sixth, plating five more to go up 13-4. Kyson Donahue came through with an RBI single to make it 9-4 before Jordan Donahue delivered a two-run double to put UH up by seven. Machado drove in his second and third runs of the night with a two-out RBI single to cap off the run of 13 unanswered.
 
Tsukada set the program single-game record for hit by pitches, getting plunked four times while the Rainbow Warriors matched a team single-game record with six HBPs. The last time a Hawai'i team was hit by six pitches in a game was against the Aztecs on Feb. 28, 2022.
 
Machado matched a career-high with a season-best four RBIs while Jordan Donahue, Tsukada, Miura and Duarte all drove in two runs each. Jordan Donahue paced the offense with his fourth three-hit game of the year, going 3-for-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored while Kyson Donahue matched a career-high with four runs scored.
 
Danny Veloz notched his third victory of the season after working two shutout innings with five strikeouts. Veloz retired six of the seven batters he faced with the only runner reaching base on a strikeout and wild pitch.
 
The 'Bows and Aztecs continue their series Saturday with first pitch set for 6:35 p.m. at Les Murakami Stadium.
