WAIPAHU — The Sharks keep rolling.
Hawai’i Pacific did all of its scoring in the bottom of the third inning as they bested visiting Saint Martin’s University, 5-3, Wednesday afternoon at the Patsy T. Mink Central O’ahu Regional Park.
It was the Sharks’ third victory in a row as they improved to 8-1 to start the year.
Skylar Agnew hit an RBI triple to tie the game and scored the go-ahead run off an RBI by Kota Suzuki to get the scoring started.
