Advertiser Staff
Leo Sing Chow pitched a four-hitter as Hawai'i-Hilo defeated Azusa Pacific, 1-0, yesterday in the first game of a softball doubleheader at the UHH Softball Field.
Azusa Pacific won the second game, 6-3.
Sing Chow struck out five and the Vulcans scored the game's only run with the help of an error in the first inning.
Claresa Asuncion walked to start the inning, and Diana Kim hit a shot back to the pitcher that deflected toward short. The Cougar shortstop threw out Kim at first, with Asuncion breaking toward third. The first baseman then made an errant throw in an attempt to catch Asuncion, who came around to score.
Megan Carpenter and Shawn Paxton homered to lead Azusa Pacific (35-15) to the second-game win.
Kim batted 2-for-3 for the Vulcans (24-13).
