Behind the pitching of Brittney Guro, the 'Iolani softball team knocked off a pair of defending state champions last week to remain undefeated in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu.

Guro, a right-hander, threw a two-hitter in a 6-0 victory over Pac-Five, last year's Division II state champion, on Wednesday. Against defending Division I champion Kamehameha on Friday, Guro threw a five-hitter in a 4-0 win.

'Iolani improved to 5-0 and is the only undefeated team in the ILH. All ILH teams are classified as Division I this year.

Against Pac-Five, Guro struck out six batters and retired 20 of the 23 she faced. Guro went to a three-ball count just once.

Guro struck out seven batters in the win over Kamehameha.

'Iolani's batters also played a big part in both wins. Marisa Terayama drove in four runs and the Raiders had 10 hits against Pac-Five. Against Kamehameha, the Raiders also had 10 hits, led by Shanna Tashiro, who batted 3 for 4 with a double and two RBIs. Kryn Masutani had two hits in both wins.
