Advertiser Staff

Colt Sedbrook hit a two-run triple and a three-run triple, and C.J. Ziegler belted a three-run homer as Arizona beat host Hawai'i-Hilo, 19-3, last night in a non-conference baseball game at Wong Stadium.

Reliever Mike Colla pitched one-hit shutout ball over 4 1/3 innings for the Wildcats (15-5), who trailed 1-0 before scoring 19 unanswered runs from the third through eighth.

Jesse Yamashita and David Chu each had two hits and an RBI for the Vulcans (5-17).


SURFING

PARMENTER PREVAILS

Makaha's Dave Parmenter won the stand-up paddleboard division at the Noosa Festival of Surfing over the weekend at Queensland, Australia.

Reigning world champions Brian Keaulana and Kathy Terada, also from Makaha, placed second in the tandem division. The three represent Hawaiian surf equipment company, C4 Waterman.

The festival is considered the world's largest surfing competition, attracting approximately 400 of the world's best surfers at various longboard disciplines.

"It really isn't about who is taking the biggest wave, or where they're riding, or what they're riding it on," Keaulana said. "It is all about the feeling every person gets when they catch a wave they didn't think they could, whether it be one foot or 60 ... that's what is special about these events."

Earlier in the week, Keaulana, Parmenter and Todd Bradley treated a host of Australians to a free stand-up paddleboard clinic.
