Back in the Day
TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
It took an extra inning, but top-seeded Hilo squeezed out an 8-7 win against Pearl City at Lihue County Park to win the state softball championship, which was in its second year.
Roxanne Ayala tripled in the eighth and scored on a throwing error. Hilo's Charlene Kela hurled her third complete game in a row for the win. In the first round of the tourney, Kela tossed a perfect game against Hana.
Cherie Yabui of Pearl City also threw three consecutive complete games, including back-to-back one-hitters.
Hilo is one of only two neighbor island teams to win a softball crown, the other being Waimea in 1990.
