Shockers Walked Off in Hawaii

HONOLULU, Hawaii -- Hawaii got an infield single in the bottom of the 10th inning from Elijah Ickes to walk off Wichita State 4-3 in the series opener on Thursday night as Les Murakami Stadium.

The Rainbow Warriors (5-0) picked up their third walk-off victory in the season's first five games and extended the nation's longest active home winning streak to 16 games.

The walk-off capped off a wild, back-and-forth game in which the Shockers (1-3) committed four errors, including three on errant pickoff throws, but rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the top of the eighth to send the game to extras.

It was Wichita State that struck first, as Josh Livingston yanked a solo home run down the right field line in the top of the fourth inning for a 1-0 lead. Hawaii finally got to Jeremiah Arnett in the bottom of the inning after the sophomore right-hander had turned in three scoreless innings to start his outing. In the fourth, however, the 'Bows tied the game on a Ben Ziegler-Namoa solo home run and took the lead courtesy of an RBI squeeze bunt from Jared Quandt.

Hawaii extended the advantage to 3-1 in the sixth before the Shockers staged their late inning rally, all without the benefit of a hit. Three walks, two hit by pitches, two wild pitches and a passed ball helped the Shockers score a pair of runs and put runners at second and third with two outs, but a fly out ended the threat.

Karsen Richard and Nick Potter (0-1) kept the game tied through the ninth before Ickes drove home Matthew Miura, who had walked with one out, with the winning run. Isaiah Magdaleno (1-0) pitched around a two-out triple in the 10th from Jaden Gustafson to earn the win.

The Shockers and Rainbow Warriors continue the series on Friday night. First pitch is scheduled for 10:35 pm CT.
