Two outs, final inning, potential winning run at third base.

Never hurts to have some serious speed at the plate.

Tia Perreira legged out an infield single to score Keanu Au with the winning run in the bottom of the seventh as Kamehameha beat 'Iolani, 5-4, in an Interscholastic League of Honolulu softball game at Central O'ahu Regional Park.

"I had two strikes and I was just thinking, 'Gotta do whatever it takes to win,' " said Perreira, who hit lead off. "I kind of had a feeling (the shortstop) was going to get it, so I just ran my hardest all the way to first."

Au led off the inning by reaching on a fielding error by the second baseman. Marche Llanos sacrificed her to second and Au reached third on a fly out to right.

On a 1-2 pitch, Perreira hit a grounder to the back-hand side of the shortstop, who fired low and late to first.

"She has awesome speed," said Kamehameha coach Aloha Yamaguchi. "She's looking for extra bases or getting that timely hit. She came up clutch in the bottom of the seventh. All we needed from her was a base hit and with her speed I knew she was going to get there."

It was a back-and-fourth game.

'Iolani led 2-0 after the top of the sixth; Kamehameha took a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth; and 'Iolani tied it at 4-4 in the top of the seventh.

In the Kamehameha sixth, Perreira and Nohea Keaunui-Gould singled, and Kulia Kaluhiokalani walked to load the bases with no outs for Jamie Millwood. 'Iolani switched pitchers, and Millwood drilled a 3-1 pitch to right-center for a double to score all three runners.

"That felt really good because I knew my team needed me at that point," said Millwood, the clean-up hitter. "I just had to do what I had to do. I knew we were going to break through. I was just waiting for one. We had the attitude the whole time that we were going to win the game."

Millwood, who advanced to third on the throw to the plate, later scored on a wild pitch to make it 4-2.

'Iolani had the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh and Kryn Masutani at the plate. On a 1-1 pitch, Masutani hit a blooper down the line just out of the reach of the Kamehameha right fielder. Pinch runner Kirstyn Namba and Kaleen Terayama scored on the play to tie it at 4-4.

"Kryn is a clutch player," said 'Iolani coach Lance Watanabe. "Last year she did the same thing and I'm sure this year she'll have many more clutch hits."

Kamehameha's Millwood, a senior right-hander, pitched an eight-hitter with 10 stikeouts.
