Tuesday games:

Beach Boys dunk the Sharks again, this time by a 4-3 count. Honolulu scored three runs in the first off Waikiki starter David Asher (Mariners), but failed to score again. The Beach Boys knotted it on a three-run HR by Cole Garner (Rockies) in the seventh, then plated the game-winner in the 8th on a leadoff single by Mark Minicozzi (Giants) and a one-out double by Taichi Okazaki (Hanshin). David Quinowski (Giants) got the win, Adam Carr (Nationals) a save, and Shota Kimura (Yomiuri) took the loss.

West Oahu scored 4 times in the eighth to break a 2-2 tie and turn the tables on North Shore in a 6-3 win. The Honu jumped on top 2-0 in the third against Jeff Marquez (Yankees) as Lorenzo Cain (Brewers) drove in a run with a triple and scored on a wild pitch by Ian Kennedy (Yankees) in relief of Marquez. The CaneFires tied it with single runs in the fourth and seventh, then lit up North Shore's Ayumu Yamamoto (Seibu) and Zach Hammes (Dodgers) as Emerson Frostad (Rangers) and Brian McFall (Royals) delivered with two-run doubles. The Honu got a run in the 9th off Takashi Maruyama (Yakult) on Koby Clemens's walk, a balk, a passed ball, and an infield out, but suffered no additional damge. Frostad had three hits for the second game in a row but had a really tough day behind the plate, as the Honu stole seven bases and Frostad allowed a wild pitch and passed ball, and had a dropped third strike as well. North Shore managed only three hits but coaxed nine walks out of West Oahu's pitchers.

-- MWE

Roger was out here to watch his boy on Tuesday. I am going to try to get to a game this weekend.

Wednesday games:

Honolulu won their first game, defeating Waikiki 7-0 behind five pitchers who allowed just four hits. David Haehnel (Orioles) got the win with two scoreless innings. The Sharks rapped out 13 singles, adding a double by Nyjer Morgan (Pirates), and six different players had two hits each.

North Shore's Dustin Martin (Mets) rapped a three-run homer to lead the Honu to a 6-2 win over West Oahu. Six pitchers held the CaneFires to six singles, with Joe Thatcher (Brewers) getting the win with two perfect innings of relief, fanning three. The Honu added six more stolen bases to the seven they swiped on Tuesday.

-- MWE

The Honu are turning, of all people, Koby Clemens into a stolen base threat. Hes stolen as many in Hawaii as he did on the continent all year long

Well, the closer you get to the equator, the faster the earth appears to be spinning. Koby has obviously found a way to take advantage of that.

Who are the top 3 guys on your (for anyone) HWB watch list?

As a Braves fan, I would be watching to see if Van Pope's second half resurgence was for real

As a Padres fan, I'm looking at Chase Headley and Peter Ciofrone.
