DAVIS, Calif. – Trailing by a run heading into the late innings Saturday afternoon, the Hawai'i baseball team rallied for a 4-2 extra-inning win at UC Davis to even the series at a game apiece.
 
The Rainbow Warriors trailed 2-1 until the top of the eighth when Jordan Donahue singled, moved to third on an error and scored on a groundout to tie it up. Harrison Bodendorf, who entered to pitch in the seventh inning, shut the Aggies out over the final four innings and retired the final 10 batters he faced.
 
After Elijah Ickes and Donahue each walked with one out in the 10th inning, Sean Rimmer was called upon to pinch-hit and delivered an RBI single to center field to plate Ickes and put UH in front for the first time all day. Austin Machado followed one batter later with a run-scoring single to right field to plate Donahue and make it 4-2.
 
The Aggies broke a scoreless tie in the fourth behind three straight singles and a balk to start the inning to make it 2-0. UH starter Randy Abshier did a good job to limit the damage, retiring three of the next four batters to strand two runners. The 'Bows would get one run back in the top of the fifth on an Ickes sacrifice fly to make it 2-1, where it would remain until the Hawai'i comeback in the eighth.
 
A day after a taxing effort by the UH bullpen, Abshier delivered the quality start Hawai'i needed holding UC Davis to two runs on six hits over six innings with four strikeouts. Bodendorf picked up his second straight win by fanning four over the final four innings while allowing just a walk  and a hit.
 
Donahue extended his hitting streak to 11 games after finishing 2-for-4 with two runs and a double. Machado and Dallas Duarte each also turned in two-hit days while Kyson Donahue hit safely for the ninth straight game after going 1-for-4 with a double. Machado has also now reached base in all 27 games he has played in this year.
 
The 'Bows will go for the series win at UC Davis Sunday at 10 a.m. HT (ESPN+).
