Hawaii Prep proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by nine) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Pahoa Daggers 4-3. The victory was familiar territory for the Ka Makani, who have now won four matchups in a row.

Nishiki Iwai made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out nine over six innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.

Hawaii Prep's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-2. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Pahoa, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-1.

Looking ahead, Hawaii Prep will face off against Honoka'a at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Ka Makani 3.3, the Dragons 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Pahoa will be paying especially close attention to Hawaii Prep's contest: after Hawaii Prep faces off against Ka'u, they'll take on Pahoa again at 3:00 p.m. on the 18th.
