The University of Hawai'i softball team achieved a decisive series sweep against CSUN, winning all three games with a dominant cumulative score of 19-4. In the first game, the Rainbow Wahine secured a 3-0 victory with Hannah Pitts throwing a complete game shutout. They followed up with a 10-3 win in the series finale, where Taryn Irimata notched her second win of the series, confirming UH's current five-game winning streak and their first series sweep since last year.

By the Numbers
  • The Rainbow Wahine outscored CSUN 19-4 over the three-game series.
  • Hannah Pitts achieved a complete game shutout with 5 strikeouts, and Taryn Irimata improved to 4-1 in conference play.
Yes, But

The wins indicate a strong performance from the Rainbow Wahine, yet CSUN struggled significantly, leaving 11 runners on base in Game 1, which highlights the Matadors' offensive inefficiencies.

State of Play
  • Hawai'i is now above .500 for the first time since February 20th.
  • The team has clinched three Big West series this season.
What's Next

The Rainbow Wahine will face #7 UCLA in a non-conference matchup before continuing their Big West competition against UC Santa Barbara, which includes a single game and a doubleheader over the weekend.

Bottom Line

Hawai'i's impressive series sweep not only reinforces their competitive momentum in the Big West but also positions them as a formidable contender as they approach future games against ranked opponents.
