MANOA — It was a prom-ising night for Mililani's seniors after all.

JR Suehira scored the winning run on a bases-loaded wild pitch with two out in the bottom of the seventh inning and the No. 9 Trojans edged Campbell, 3-2, Saturday night for their second consecutive and third Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I baseball championship.

The Trojans (13-2) will earn one of four seeded berths for the Wally Yonamine Foundation Division I state tournament on Maui May 8–11 on Maui.

With the game tied at 2, Suehisa singled with one out. After Vance Oshiro flied to left for the second out, Suehisa took second on a wild pitch with Ethan Thomas batting. Thomas was then intentionally walked. After another wild pitch moved the runners up with Charles Winchester batting, he was walked to load the bases. On 1-1 pitch to Hunter Faildo, pitcher Varen Sabino's third wild pitch scored Suehisa with the winning run in a game that lasted one hour, 58 minutes.

"A wild two nights," said Trojans coach Mark Hirayama, referring to Friday's 11-inning semifinal win against Kaiser. "I tell the guys, 'We gotta play seven innings every day. Every day you come out might be the last day you play. Play like there's no tomorrow.' The guys just bought in and stuck it out."

Not all the dramatics of the night were on the field. Trojans seniors missed their prom, only to be rewarded when their dates — decked out in their glittering gowns — showed up at Les Murakami Stadium.

"It's unbelievable they would leave their senior prom to come and visit us," senior left fielder Waika Fukuda said.

The seniors knew for a while that prom conflicted with OIA championship night, but "I'd rather be a champion than go to a prom," Fukuda said. "It is what it is."

Fukuda played a key role in the Trojans' come-from-behind win. Campbell took a 2-0 lead behind Sabino, who had limited Mililani to two hits through five innings. With one out in the sixth, Winchester singled before Faildo struck out. Jayton Pang grounded a double down the left-field line, as Winchester stopped at third. Fukuda hit a shot up the middle that was deflected by Sabino and caromed toward second baseman Shayden Sabangan. Fukuda had beaten the throw for an RBI-infield single, but Sabangan's throw was wild, allowing Pang to score the tying run. Sabino struck out pinch hitter Cole Akamu to keep the game tied.

"We came out a little slow," Fukuda said of their early-game woes at the plate. "We just had to build up more and more. Later on, it led to an epic comeback."

The drama continued in the Sabers' seventh against Winchester, who started the inning to replace starter Jason Shiigi. Pinch hitter Cody Ranit ripped a double to left to start the inning and was lifted for pinch runner Aaron Doldolea. With Logan Carvalho batting, catcher Faildo received ball three and threw to second to nail Doldolea, who was so far off he broke for third and stole it, putting the pressure on the Trojans. Mililani pulled its infield in and on a full count, Caravalho drilled a grounder to the left side, but third baseman Oshiro made a spectacular diving stop and threw out the batter, as Doldolea retreated to third. With the infielders still in, Sabangan grounded out to Oshiro with Doldolea continuing to hold third and Devin Gallano grounded out to first base to end the inning.

"Felt good knowing that if I didn't make the play, the run would've scored, so I left it on the line and it came out good," Oshiro said. "I made the play."

It was a heart-breaker for Sabino, who pitched only 10 innings all season. It was his longest outing of the season was his first appearance on the mound in 15 days.

"He was getting ahead of the count," Campbell coach Glenn Flores said. "And when the curve ball started to work, it really was effective."

Sabino's 12-6 curve ball had the Trojans taking called strikes and swinging helplessly. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs, two earned, with four walks (two intentional) and six strikeouts. Flores was surprised at Sabino's season-high in innings pitched, using 97 pitches.

"We didn't make enough two-out plays," Flores said. "They made more than us."

On the hit by Fukuda, second baseman Sabangan had to rush his throw because the deflection off Sabino's glove slowed the ball a bit.

"Tough plays, tough plays," Flores said. "But make those plays, they don't score those runs."

Earlier in the game, Sabangan fielded a deflected liner off of Sabino and threw across his body to nail Micah Kaohu of a hit. To start the Trojans' seventh, Sabangan made an incredible leaping snag of a liner to rob Kaohu again.

The Sabers staked Sabino to a 2-0 lead in the third. Caravalho led off with a walk and Shiigi hit Sabangan with a pitch. Gallano reached on a fielder's choice sacrifice when Shiigi's throw to third was low, loading the bases. Ikaika Ganancial, who had two of Campbell's three hits, lined a single to right-center to scored Caravalho. An out later, Bryden Malama hit a grounder to short to force the runner at second, but he beat out the relay to avoid an inning-ending double play, allowing Sabangan to score. Shiigi struck out the next batter to end the inning.

A key for Mililani was Thursday's 7-1 quarterfinal win against Castle. Both Winchester, the starting pitcher in that game, and Shiigi stayed under the 60-pitch threshold that required one day of rest. Winchester threw 53 pitches in four innings and Shiigi threw 30 in two innings. Since Shiigi did not pitch in the marathon win against Kailua, he was eligible to pitch Saturday. Shiigi pitched six innings, allowing two runs, two hits and two walks with five strikeouts. He threw 92 pitches. Winchester used only 10 pitches in a scoreless seventh and picked up the win.

"That's the tough thing with the pitch count," Hirayama said. "Now you have to kind of figure how you're going to use your guys, depending how your staff is. We got a good outing from the guys (Friday) night; we didn't have to bring Jason in. Things just kind of worked out the way we drew It up. We were lucky."

The Sabers will be in their eighth consecutive state tournament (the streak includes the 2012 play-in game they lost in Hilo).
