Softball Game Preview: King Kekaulike Na Ali'i vs. Kamehameha Maui Warriors

The King Kekaulike Na Ali'i will look to take advantage of their home field for the first time this season as they take on the Kamehameha Maui Warriors at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

King Kekaulike is coming home looking for redemption after taking a loss in their road opener. They took an 11-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of Baldwin on Wednesday. Give some credit to the fans of both teams: the last four times they've met, the home team has come away the winner.

Chiyo Salas made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Hilina'I Kuala'Au-Abbey, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3.

Meanwhile, Kamehameha Maui was not able to break out of their rough patch on Saturday as the team picked up their eighth straight loss dating back to last season. They lost 17-0 to Baldwin.

King Kekaulike took their win against Kamehameha Maui in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 19-3. Will King Kekaulike repeat their success, or does Kamehameha Maui have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
