Ejections, high emotion, extra innings — the baseball game last night between Maryknoll and Waipahu had it all.

In the end, Matthew Guzman's deep drive to right-center scored Craig Shoji with the winning run in the bottom of the eighth as Maryknoll beat Waipahu, 6-5, in the quarterfinals of the Wally Yonamine Foundation Division II State Baseball Championships at Hans L'Orange Park.

"I'm very proud of the kids," said Maryknoll coach Kevin Uyehara, whose team trailed 5-2 in the fifth. "We had to battle back, and coming from behind like that, they should be proud."

How the teams arrived at the outcome is worth of note.

In the top of the seventh with the score tied 5-5, Waipahu had the bases loaded and one out, but a bang-bang double play, which included a collision at the plate, ended the inning.

The Marauders' Jonathan Casamina lined a pitch to center fielder Shoji, and Ignatius Mackenzie retreated to the third base bag and headed to the plate.

Shoji's throw got to catcher David Nishiki just as Mackenzie arrived. There was a collision, but Nishiki applied the tag and held on to complete the inning-ending double play.

As the players got up, Nishiki shoved Mackenzie, and players and coaches from both teams approached home plate.

Nishiki and Mackenzie were ejected.

"Emotions get into play and guys are wanting to win, so stuff like that is going to happen," Uyehara said.

In the top of the eighth, Waipahu's third-base coach got ejected for arguing.

ST. ANTHONY 6, KONAWAENA 0

The Trojans' Jarret Stinger was stingy on the mound and his offense took advantage of the Wildcats' wildness and mistakes.

Stinger, a sophomore right-hander, pitched a three-hitter with two walks and six strikeouts for St. Anthony, the No. 2 seed and Maui Interscholastic League champion.

The first three batters of the game for the Trojans — Matthew McCraney, Jordan Kahalekai-Bermoy and Ryan Rodriguez — all scored on wild pitches.

In the fourth, St. Anthony (10-1) scored three more runs to take a 6-0 advantage. The runs scored on a fielding error by the shortstop, a double steal and a throwing error by the third baseman for Konawaena (10-5), the Big Island Interscholastic Federation runner-up.

KAUA'I 11, HONOKA'A 0

Kaua'i looked every bit like a defending state champion and this year's No. 1 tournament seed against Honoka'a.

Dalston Miyasato and Shea Shimabukuro combined on a two-hitter, and Kaua'i (10-3-1) — the Kaua'i Interscholastic Federation champion — scored six runs in the second inning against Honoka'a (5-9-1), the Big Island Interscholastic Federation's No. 4 team.

Miyasato, a junior right-hander, allowed one hit, walked two and struck out two in three innings.

Shimabukuro, a sophomore right-hander, gave up one hit, walked one and fanned three in two innings.

The game was shortened to five innings because of the mercy rule.

MOLOKA'I 11, HAWAI'I PREP 5

The Farmers' offensive juggernaut overwhelmed its second tournament opponent in as many days.

This time the victim was Ka Makani, the No. 4 seed and Big Island Interscholastic Federation champion.

Moloka'i, the Maui Interscholastic League runner-up, scored in six of the seven innings against Hawai'i Prep (8-6), including a four-run first.

William Place, a sophomore right-hander, worked six innings and struck out 10 for Moloka'i (10-3), which routed McKinley, 12-2, the previous day.
