The Data House Division II Softball State Championships again proved to be the land of opportunity, as Pac-Five took advantage of five Sacred Hearts errors to win the title, 6-0, last night.

The Wolfpack — with eight players from University High, six from Hawai'i Baptist and one from La Pietra — are in their first year as a varsity program.

"Before, we didn't have Pac-Five, so we couldn't go to states," said senior outfielder Stacie Sueda, who had been playing on a "combination team" with St. Andrew's Priory, La Pietra and St. Francis. "It just so happened Pac-Five formed a team this year, my senior year, so this is cool. I'm stoked right now."

Pac-Five jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first inning helped by three Sacred Hearts errors. A two-base throwing error scored the first two runs, and Leann Lariosa followed with an RBI single. Keline Yoshimura then lined a run-scoring triple into the right-field corner and Brennan Clark brought her home with a single to center.

The Wolfpack made it 6-0 in the fourth after Clark reached on an error, stole second and scored on Courtney Gibo's single to center.

Meanwhile, Pac-Five starter Jessica Ghazali was cruising along, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning. She got the first two outs on a strikeout and grounder to third, but Tiara Ann Ilae walked and Samantha Saito laid down a slow bunt that rolled just to the left of Ghazali for the Lancers' first hit.

Ilae was then caught stealing at third to end the inning.

Ghazali finished with a one-hitter, striking out five.

Kamehameha-Hawai'i defeated 'Aiea, 5-0, to finish third in the Division II tournament.
