The home team had come away the winner the last five times Baldwin and King Kekaulike had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Bears came out on top against the Na Ali'i by a score of 7-2 on Saturday. The seven-run effort marked the Bears' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Hope Batulayan-Cadorna spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on six hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Bailey Nagasako (Bailey), who went 1-for-4 with one home run. Kekia Kaaa-Saltiban was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.
Baldwin was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .394. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .333 or higher every time they've taken the field this season.
