OIA Softball finals

After giving up two hits and a run in the first inning, Danielle Young was nearly unhittable, leading Kailua past Waianae, 4-1, and into the state tournament.

The Surfriders won the Oahu Interscholastic Association Tournament fifth-place game yesterday at Keolu Field to secure the league's final state berth.

Mililani and Pearl City -- who play today for the OIA championsip -- and Leilehua and Kaimuki will also participate in the state tournament.

Steph Gould doubled in two runs for Kailua in a four-run fifth inning.

After the rough start, Young allowed just a sixth-inning double the rest of the game.

"She started pretty shaky," Kailua coach Bernard Victor said. "Then she settled down. She pretty much pitched three games in a row for us."

Young entered Wednesday's game against Leilehua in the first inning and Thursday's against Castle in the second.

Waianae	100	000	0 -- 1	3	1
Kailua	000	040	x -- 4	10	0

Tracy Kane, Jasmine Choy (6) and Shaylla Moses. Danielle Young and Kainoa Hughes. W--Young. L--Kane.
