The HHSAA has postponed the softball semifinals scheduled for Thursday at the University of Hawaii’s Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium due to heavy rain. The Division I and Division II semifinals will now take place on Friday at times to be determined. In addition, two quarterfinal games were also rescheduled on Wednesday due to inclement weather.
The Division I matchup between Mililani and Kalani will be held at 1 p.m. at Campbell High, while the Division II game between Kapaa and Kohala is set for 1 p.m. at Moanalua, weather permitting. The completed Division I quarterfinals on Wednesday saw Campbell defeat Kealakehe 16-1 in five innings, Baldwin edge Kapolei 12-11, and Kamehameha beat Leilehua 13-3 in five innings.
The semifinals matchups include Kamehameha facing Baldwin and Campbell awaiting the winner of the Mililani-Kalani game. In Division II, Waimea and Pac-Five are through to one semifinal, while Aiea awaits the winner of the Kapaa-Kohala game. Kamehameha coach Mark Lyman praised his players for staying focused despite the uncertain scheduling, emphasizing their readiness and determination to compete.
On Thursday morning at 10 a.m., there were no announced changes to the HHSAA Division I baseball semifinals that were scheduled to be held later that day at Les Murakami Stadium. Marley Espiau of Kamehameha had a standout performance in the softball game against Leilehua, going 2-for-4 with a home run.
