Punahou shuts out Maryknoll for third straight win


 



*NOTE* This game was originally played on March 16 but was put under protest. It was initally scored a 6-0 Buffanblu-win, but one of their players leaped the Spartans catcher illegally to reach home plate in a four-run seventh inning. Maryknoll coach Eric Kadooka's protest was upheld by the Interscholastic League of Honolulu.

While reverting back to the top of the seventh with Punahou leading 2-0, the game continued play April 4 with the Buffanblu officially winning, 4-0

ALA WAI—  Punahou shut out Maryknoll, 6-0 for its third straight Interscholastic League of Honolulu Division I win at Ala Wai Field on Thursday.
