Molokai 14, No. 4 Radford 11 (9 inn.)

David Rapanot hit a go-ahead double in the top of the ninth inning as the Farmers won a wild one over the Rams.

The winning rally was set up in bizarre fashion.

Raymond Lightfoot Lani led off the inning with a single to left. He was caught off first base on a pickoff throw by the pitcher, but was awarded second base when he collided with a Radford infielder during a rundown. Brayden Willing-McCutcheon followed with a bunt that landed in foul territory, but curved back into fair territory for a hit.

Rapanot then belted one to the wall in left-center to make it 12-11. Kaoli Place added a sacrifice fly and Rapanot also scored on the play when the throw from the right fielder eluded the cut-off man.

Molokai plays the winner of Pac-Five/Hawaii Prep tonight at 7.

Radford scored five in the fifth on three hits and three errors to get within 11-10. The Rams tied it in the seventh when Roscoe Kalilikane scored on a throwing error.

Molokai’s Ryan Rapanot and Jubilee Tabiligan both drove in three runs. David Rapanot and Ehukai Rawlins both scored three times.

Radford plays the loser of Pac-Five/Hawaii Prep today at 10 a.m.
