Chance Arakaki's three-run home run proved to be the difference maker as Kamehameha notched its second win of a young ILH season with a 5-2 win over Mid-Pacific.

Warriors' starter Joshua Souza pitched a strong 4 1/3 innings, allowing just two runs on four hits, striking out two and walking two, and Ladd Ah Choy came on in relief, holding the Owls' scoreless in the final 2 2/3 to earn the save.

Noah Shackles was 2-for-3 with double and an RBI to lead the way for Mid-Pacific offensively.

Seven different Warriors' batters recorded hits in the game, including two a piece from Kahoea Akau, Matt Yokota and Arakaki.
