Three-time defending champ and No. 1-seeded Punahou improved to 15-1 in the regular and postseason and will face Kamehameha-Hawai'i (13-3) in tomorrow night's 8 o'clock semifinals at Les Murakami Stadium.

Ishida, 6-foot tall, hard-throwing right-hander, suffered a mildly sprained ankle just minutes before tpnight's feature game as he slipped on the concrete dugout floor after going down the steps in his cleats.

Punahou jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning after Paul Snieder's two-run triple and a passed ball, then added a run in the third on a delayed steal to make it 4-0. The Vikings (11-4) closed it to 4-2 in the bottom of the third after Cortney Arruda's RBI double and a two-base error.
