Kailua scored four runs in each of the third and fourth innings today and held off Hilo, 11-5, in the Wally Yonamine Foundation Baseball State Championship quarterfinals.

The Surfriders, runner-up in the O'ahu Interscholastic Association, improved to 13-4 in the regular and postseason and tomorrow will face the winner of the 'Iolani-Moanalua game that was played later.

After Hilo took a 1-0 lead in the third inning, Kailua answered with four runs in the bottom half — all after two outs. Jared Iha came home from second after Ryan McMonigle's single was misplayed in right field, and Alika Ramseyer-Ho followed with a two-run single to left, which was also misplayed.

Ramseyer-Ho then scored on Keoki Reis-Moniz's single to right.

"That was a big blow to us," Hilo coach Warren Arakaki said of the four-run inning. "We haven't made many errors in the outfield this season. But we also didn't pitch well; we made mistakes with two strikes."

Ramseyer-Ho, who pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings of relief in Wednesday's 11-inning victory over Maui, finished 3 for 4 with four RBIs.
