Oronoz holds off
Hofstra for Hawaii win

---

Kate Judd drove in three runs and Sheri Oronoz snuffed out a late rally to help Hawaii beat Hofstra 5-3 in the Hawaii Invitational Softball Tournament at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium yesterday.

Oronoz took a 5-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh before Hofstra catcher Meaghan Almon hit a three run homer off her. She allowed the next batter to single but got Lisa Torres to ground back to her to end the game.

Trisha Ramos was 1-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI for Hawaii while Nathalie Gonzales, Stacie Hirano, April Crowell and Jennifer Tanderich also had hits.

Hawaii improved to 21-14 while Hofstra fell to 7-16.

Vulcans come back on Silverswords: Chaminade and Hawaii-Hilo split a doubleheader at Palolo field yesterday, with the Silverswords winning the first game 6-5 in 10 innings and losing the second 7-4.

Chaminade won the first game when Jillian Umeda stroked a single to right field to score Loihi McKeague.
