Diamond Head is behind right field. Cool tradewinds float through the facility as dusk approaches.

There’s affordable ballpark food and not a bad seat in the house.

It’s all very wonderful at Les Murakami Stadium.

Except for one little thing: the lack of wins for the home squad, the University of Hawaii baseball team.

The crowds, they keep coming. Not as big as the glory days, of course, but they keep showing up.

They don’t seem to mind that the Rainbows too often post almost as many errors (three) as hits (four), like they did Sunday in the 5-2 senior night loss to Cal State Fullerton that completed a three-game sweep.

Yes, the Titans are a powerhouse program — but like so many other times this year, UH gave the game away. Sloppy defense was a big culprit in this one.

It was another solid gathering, 2,295 through the turnstiles despite it being a TV game. And they’ll be back next year.

The loyalty is refreshing since fans of other Hawaii sports are not considered such and are often labeled as fair-weather — look at what has happened to football attendance after four consecutive losing seasons.

But the core of the baseball fan base appears to be impervious to mediocrity on the field. Yes, this 2015 team was better than those of the previous two seasons and even managed a 12-12 record in the Big West conference — much better than the injury-riddled squads of 2013 and 2014.

However, UH is 21-29 overall heading into its final three games on the road. The last time the Rainbows had three losing seasons in a row was 1971-73, when they were just getting started and playing about a half-dozen games a "season."

The improvement this year was similar to football last fall — significant, but is it enough to instill hope for the future?

UH’s most exciting player, center fielder Kaeo Aliviado, finished his home career with an RBI double among his two hits and another spectacular catch in center field. Pitcher Jarrett Arakawa gutted out six innings with a twice-operated-on shoulder.

They will both be missed.

I’m glad outfielder Alan Baldwin will be back. He’s a solid player, plus his walk-up song, "Hold on Loosely" by 38 Special, is among my favorites.

The tune reminds me of better times for UH baseball. It was released in 1981, a few months after the Rainbows were runners-up in the College World Series, making the third of 13 NCAA Regional appearances. Only two of those have come after 1992.

It’s clear that what was once a high standard has eroded over the years.

This team featured some good freshmen in catcher Chayce Ka‘aua and first baseman Eric Ramirez. But it’s going to take a lot more to climb into the upper half of the Big West. Coach Mike Trapasso recently got a contract extension, so don’t expect a change soon there.

One thing for sure after the last three years is these loyal fans deserve a better product.
