After two weeks away on the road, the University of Hawai‘i baseball team returns home with positive momentum.
Things were looking bleak for the Rainbow Warriors after a 1-5 start to Big West play, but the 'Bows played their way back into conference contention with a series win at preseason favorite UC Santa Barbara. UH was lifted by stellar starting pitching on Friday and Saturday, as Isaiah Magdaleno and Hekili Robello each went at least eight innings in winning efforts.
The 'Bows start off the week with a midweek contest against Hawai‘i Pacific on Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. at Les Murakami Stadium, followed by a three-game series against Cal State Fullerton from Friday to Sunday. Tickets can be purchased at this link.
