Statistics of players with Hawaii ties in professional baseball through Friday’s games:

>> As of Friday, Kolten Wong (Kamehameha-Hawaii, Hawaii) was 8-for-31 (.258) since his return from the minors with five runs scored, one RBI and no extra-base hits.

>> Kirby Yates (Kauai) was summoned from the New York Yankees bullpen Monday after a three-hour-plus rain delay and proceeded to blow a 6-5 lead by hitting three batters and allowing two hits in a 9-6 loss.

Said Yates after the loss: “It’s very frustrating, especially the fact that I had two strikes on every single guy I hit. I mean, we were one pitch away from winning a baseball game; instead we lose by three runs. It doesn’t feel good. It’s not something I’m proud of, but it happens. Tomorrow’s another day. Come back and win tomorrow.’’ The next day, Yates was demoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

>> Buffalo reliever Dustin Antolin (Mililani) was selected to the Triple-A All-Star Game. He will represent the International League in the game on July 13.

>> The Elk Grove Citizen ran a feature on David Freitas (Hawaii) on Friday: 808ne.ws/DavidFreitas
