MIL BASEBALL: SABERS, BEARS ON TOP

(March 31): Perennial baseball arch-rivals, Maui High and Baldwin, find themselves in familiar positions – deadlocked atop the MIL Division I standings with 6-0 records.

But there's a lot of baseball remaining between now and when the front-runners tangle in a regular-season-closing two-game series on April 18 and 19.

With Peter Ibanez and Jacob Babauta combining on a three-hitter, Maui High knocked Kamehameha out of the unbeaten ranks with a 1-0 win on Friday. Mitch Crim's sacrifice fly in the third accounted for the only run.

The Sabers followed that up with a 6-4 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

Also on Saturday, Baldwin beat defending overall champion Saint Anthony 4-2. The Bears face Kamehameha at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Saint Anthony's loss, coupled with Molokai's pair of lopsided victories over Kaahumanu Hou., dropped the Trojans to 2-2 and a half-game behind the 3-2 Farmers.

From the diamond to the track:

Jessica Davis, a sophomore from Highland High of California, stole the show at the Yamamoto Invitational track and field meet by shattering three meet records. She was clocked in 11.99 in the 100, 24.75 in the 200 and 57.41 in the 400.

Baldwin's Kalei Kamahele set new marks in the 100 in 11.04 and 200 in 22.16, while teammate Joey Amescua won the 800 in a record time of 2:02.13.

King Kekaulike's Reid Hunter brple the 1,500 mark in 4:15.33 – some 13 seconds ahead of the runner-up.
