KAKAAKO — The Female Athlete of the Week made her case for a repeat selection.

Mele Turner launched two home runs in addition to striking out six from the circle to power Castle over Moanalua, 11-1, in six innings at Tiger "Neal Takamori" Athletic Complex Saturday night.

Ashaiya Lopes also homered for the Knights (5-3), who notched their second straight mercy-rule victory.

Moanalua's Raven Rosa-Lasco was also in the home run party, with a solo shot in the fourth inning giving Na Menehune (5-4) their lone score of the game.
