Kohala Cowgirls Score Big!
Kohala Coach Joby Amaral should be very happy with his team's offensive output against Ka'u; with a 19-4 win! A grand slam by Denae Rivera helped the Cowgirls score 12 runs in the 2nd inning, for their first BIIF softball victory of the season. The game ended after the top of the fourth because of the BIIF mercy rule. Keep it going Cowgirls!
