Hawaii earned a split of today’s NCAA super regional doubleheader against Alabama to force a decisive third game on Sunday for a berth in the Women’s College World Series.

Alabama overpowered Hawaii 8-0 in the opening game, but the Rainbow Wahine bounced back for an 8-7 win in the second game, snapping the top-seeded Crimson Tide’s 28-game winning streak.

The drama came in the last inning of game two, when the Tide loaded the bases with two out. The Wahine’s star pitcher Stephanie Ricketts induced a pop-up to end the game.
On to tomorrow.
