SPORTS Na Kai Koa stays in the hunt with huge win Story and photo by Randy Dela Cruz

Sports Editor, Ho’okele

With only about a month re- maining in the regular season, Naval Health Clinic Hawaii Dental Na Kai Koa squeezed a little tighter on the fourth and final playoff seed in the Red Division. They toppled the 690th Cyberspace Operations Squadron (690 COS), 20-7, in a game shortened by the league’s 10-run-mercy rule. The game was played at Ward Field, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, May 24. Na Kai Koa got out to a 13-0 lead and then cruised to the lopsided victory. The win raised Na Kai Koa’s record to 4-2, while the 690 COS opening-day losing streak has now grown to five games. “The biggest thing is that we’ve been practicing all year to keep the ball on the ground,” said Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Will Frey, who got things started with a run-scoring dou- ble. “And as soon as one guy gets a base hit, it keep things going. When we start hot, we finish hot.” In the first inning, it didn’t take things to get started quickly as Na Kai Koa, with one out, hammered out three straight doubles to drive in two runs. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Christopher Ferrell dives head first into third base for a triple. Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Joshua Rabbitt got the first a 13-0 advantage after three. “I felt good,” he said. “All I try blasted a shot over the center “We’re all having fun,” he two-bagger and was followed Lt.
