Justine Fabella drove in three runs and Mililani ace Aubree Kim struck out 13 as Mililani hung on to edge Waianae 9-7 on Saturday night for the OIA Red Conference softball championship.

It was the first league title for Mililani (12-3) since 2010, also under coach Rose Antonio.

"I feel great. We wanted to score every inning and win every inning, but that last inning, Waianae just came back," she said. "The girls did very well. I’m very proud of them. It’s good to bring the championship back to Mililani."

Kim prevailed on a wet, cool evening at Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park.

"I was determined to finish," said Kim, who used change-ups and hard breaking pitches to keep most of the Seariders off balance. "I’ve been in a lot of tough situations, and this was really tough. All I was thinking, my team had my back the whole game and no matter what, I had to have their back."

Through six innings, she had a five-hitter going, and the Trojans led comfortably 9-3.

The determined Seariders strung together five hits to start the ninth, and suddenly, Kim was on the ropes.

Lauren Taunu’u broke through with a two-run double off the left-field fence to bring Waianae within four runs.

After Nue Sivia followed with a double to right, scoring Taunu’u, it was 9-6.

Pitcher Cranci Kamaka delivered a single up the middle to score Sivia, it was a two-run game.

Kim then struck out Bresia Wagner, and Randie Santiago was thrown out on a bunt attempt for the second out.

Kim then whiffed Alyssa Salud-Mendoza to end the game.
