Rainbow Wahine win finale with Fresno State
Advertiser Staff
So it wasn't only the rain that could stop the Fresno State softball team.
Stacey Porter hit a two-run homer in a four-run sixth inning to lift the University of Hawai'i to a 5-1 victory over No. 13 Fresno State yesterday.
The game was postponed by rain on Saturday after the Bulldogs won their 13th consecutive game in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader.
Hawai'i is 30-20 overall, 11-5 in the Western Athletic Conference. Fresno State is 41-14 and 12-2. Fresno won the series, 3-1.
With the scored tied at 1, Natalie Gonzales singled to left-center field, went to second on Stacie Hirano's sacrifice bunt, and scored on Kate Judd's single. After Tracie Uchima pinch ran for Judd, Porter hit her home run to left-center. Denise Dahlberg followed with a double, and later scored on a double by April Crowell.
Shannon Tabion pitched a two-hitter, striking out three and walking four for the Rainbow Wahine.

POWER TOOLS
• Weekend competition: The ninth annual He-Man Competition, a test of speed and skill using power tools, will be held Saturday on Maui and Sunday on O'ahu.
The event, sponsored by Slim's Power Tools, is modeled after lumberjack competitions and will feature 33 men and women. Contestants will use hand tools in four preliminary events — Hammer da Nail, Cut da Metal, Drill da Bit and Unscrew da Screw — with the four fastest advancing to the final round when power tools are used.
"It's not always the biggest person that wins," said event coordinator Rand Okemura of Slim's Power Tools. "The competition tests speed, skill and accuracy and it showcases the convenience of using power tools."
Grand prize winners will receive a $1,000 Slim's Power Tools shopping spree and a trip for two to Las Vegas.
The public is invited to watch the competition — from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. — at Slim's Power Tools stores on Maui at 864 Alua Street (April 27) and O'ahu at 1626 Republican Street (April 28).
