David Bentrott batted 3 for 4 for the Huskies (15-6).

Peter Rodgers hit a three-run homer and RBI single, and A.J. Satele hit a solo homer for the Vulcans (7-13), who led 5-1 entering the bottom of the third.

Washington scored three in the third, four in the fourth and three in the sixth to pull away.

Rogers, Satele, Ronel Trias, Thomas Brown and Dayne Ogawa each had two hits for Hilo.

"We hit the ball well but just not at the right time," UHH head coach Joey Estrella said. "We just couldn't get it going."
