Oronoz puts the clamps
on Oregon State for title

Sheri Oronoz continued her dominating performance in the Chevron Malihini Softball tournament yesterday, beating Oregon State 2-1 in nine innings to help the Wahine win the championship.

Hawaii (18-12) stole the game in extra innings when Stacie Hirano, placed on second to start the inning, took third on a passed ball by Traci Feldt then scored when Monica Hoffman uncorked a wild pitch on her next offering to lose the game for the Beavers (24-9).

The Wahine erased the Beavers' courtesy runner in the bottom of the inning when Shelly Prochaska grounded out to shortstop Kate Judd and first baseman Stacey Porter followed it up by catching Miranda Dellinger trying to advance to third.

Oronoz (11-5) went all nine innings for the Wahine, giving up five hits and no walks.

Oronoz was named the outstanding pitcher of the tournament, and Prochaska was selected the most outstanding player.
