April 28, 2009. Under cloudy skies and with the all important seeding in the upcoming BIIF division 1 softball playoffs, Kealakehe and Keaau set out to see who would get the third seeding spot and avoid the first round match-up with undefeated Waiakea. Keaau raced to a five run lead in the bottom of the first inning. Not to be out done Kealakehe got four runs in the top of the second inning coming within a run. Unfortunately that was the only runs that Kealakehe would score against Keaau’s tough defense and the pitching of Kristen Balino-Santo. Keaau scored four more insurance runs in the fourth inning. #3 Keaau will play #2 Hilo and #4 Kealakehe will play #1 Waiakea in the first round of the BIIF softball tournament on Friday.
