Wilson's slam boosts BeachBoys

Advertiser Staff

Michael Wilson drove in four runs and Dan Murphy batted 4 for 4 to lead the Waikiki BeachBoys over the Honolulu Sharks, 13-9, in a seven-inning game yesterday in Hawaii Winter Baseball at Hans L'Orange Park.

Wilson, who was 2 for 4, hit a grand slam for the BeachBoys (13-14) off starter Takuya Furuya (3-2), who was tagged for nine runs (eight earned) in five innings. The Sharks (12-14) committed five errors.

Josh Sullivan (1-3) allowed three runs (two earned) with four strikeouts in four innings for Waikiki. Zach Simons notched his first save with 1 2/3 innings of relief.

Also hitting home runs were Murphy and Justin Sellers for Waikiki and Jason Place for Honolulu.

The nightcap between the West Oahu CaneFires and North Shore Honu was canceled because of rain. The league said the game will not be made up.
