WAIPAHU — This one had all the makings of a fairy-tale ending.

The Waipahu baseball team entered Saturday's contest against fifth-ranked Campbell in last place of the Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I West standings — and desperately needed a win to keep its playoff hopes alive.

The Sabers have been the Marauders' nemesis the past six years, winning 11 straight games since Waipahu moved up from Division II after the 2012 season. Campbell also won the previous three games between the two teams by a single run.

But the script appeared to be flipped on Saturday.

Waipahu was able to take a 2-1 lead after the second inning and held a 3-1 advantage heading into the seventh.

Then the Sabers brought the Marauders back to reality — and showed why they are a perennial contender to win it all.

Visiting Campbell exploded for seven runs in the final inning of the game to rally past Waipahu, 8-3, to improve to 10-1 atop the league standings before a crowd of about 250 at the Masa Yonamine Athletic Complex.

The Sabers, who already clinched the West's top seed in the OIA D1 playoffs, sent 10 batters to the plate and capitalized on three Waipahu errors in their big seventh inning.

Campbell's Dayton Robinson reached on an error to start of the frame before Charles Monell and Ikaika Ganancial had back-to-back singles to load the bases with no outs.

The Marauders got the force out at home on the Sabers' next at bat, but gave up runs in the following five plate appearances for Campbell.

The Sabers scored their first run of the inning on an error by Waipahu's second baseman Cade Phillips, and took the lead two batters later when Nicholas Sampson came home after an error by shortstop Joshua Lee.

A sacrifice fly by Rory Escuadro gave Campbell a 5-3 lead before Dylan Ramon cleared the bases with a deep shot over the left field fence for the final point total.

Freshman pitcher Tyrus Stephens came in to start the sixth inning to earn his first win of the season on the mound. He faced four batters, striking out one and beaning another.
