Her counterpart, Joen Baker, struck out eight in the loss.

Stacia-Ai Mahoe led Kapolei at the plate with a 2-for-4 afternoon with a double and 2 runs scored.

Mililani's Kylie-Ann Bello was 4-for-4 at the dish with a double and an RBI.

The Hurricanes will face the Mules of Leilehua, who took down East second seed Kailua, 6-1, in a 5 p.m. semifinal Friday at Central Oahu Regional Park. The game will be televised live on OC16.
