Rainelle Matsuoka's home run to lead things off in the bottom of the sixth ended the game via the mercy rule, and Kaiser rolled past McKinley, 10-0.

The Cougars scored a single run in the first two innings before plating four in the third to break things open, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher Crystal Ching-Lake, who allowed no runs and struck out 11 to earn the complete game victory.

Marissa Oda was 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored for the home team, who improved to 2-0 on the year.
