The Red Men surged four runs at the top of the third and came empty three innings later, scoring their last run on Payton Sakuma’s homerun.
Okerlil went 3-for-4 with three singles and one run.
Sufa thought they turned the game after a double play in the fourth inning. Cabrera earned his second RBI in the bottom of the fifth and finished with a single. The team needed only two runs after a sacrifice fly.
Ed Kapileo however, ended the game on a third out at first base.
Aside from a fielder’s choice in the first inning, Red Men’s Joe Johanes went 3-for-4 with two runs and three singles. Lefty Shiro, Sakuma, and Red Iskawa scored two runs apiece.
Team Sufa — holding four wins — dropped to seven losses.
