Maryknoll's Chase Uyema was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after picking up wins against both Konawaena and Kamehameha-Hawai`i en route to the championship.

Both teams combined for 18 walks in the lengthy championship game, with the last one driving home the Warriors' championship run.

Alika Young and Jordan Hirae combined to hold Kohala to only two hits to secure a state tournament berth for the Warriors.

Kamehameha-Hawaii earned the top seed in next week's Division II league tournament and will face either Honoka`a or Kohala in the semifinals on May 3.

With the win over Kamehameha-Hawaii and a Hilo loss to Kea`au, Waiakea clinched their spot in the state tournament to defend last year's state championship.

The young Hawai`i Island Warriors, with only three seniors, rode a four-run fourth inning to pick up the victory over their Maui campus.

Kamehameha-Hawaii struck big for an eight-run second inning to defeat Konawaena 13-0 in the Division II baseball championship.
