WAILUKU – The koa trophy returns to the slopes of Kalaepohaku.

Saint Louis won its first baseball championship since 2014 with a 5-0 win over Waiakea in the Division I state title game Saturday night before a crowd of over 3,000 at Iron Maehara Stadium.

Lincoln Pang scattered three hits in a complete game effort with two strikeouts to help the Crusaders (15-6) claim the state crown.

Bruin Agbayani, son of Saint Louis head coach Benny Agbayani, was named the tournament’s most outstanding player after finishing the state tournament batting 8-for-14 with a double, two triples, a home run, five runs scored and three RBIs.
