Hawaii pitcher Jetta Nannen shuts out Cal Poly

Apr. 11—Hawaii freshman Jetta Nannen fired a four-hit shutout and the Rainbow Wahine softball team completed a sweep of the conference portion of its Big West series at Cal Poly with a 1-0 win in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

Nannen posted a season-high six strikeouts and walked two in her second shutout of the season. The Rainbow Wahine (9-8, 8-4 Big West ), who scored 21 runs in sweeping Friday's doubleheader, scored the game's lone run in the top of the first inning when Ka'ena Keliinoi drove in Brittnee Rossi with a double to left center. Nannen held Cal Poly to two hits going into the bottom of the seventh, when the Mustangs loaded the bases on two singles and a walk with one out. But Nannen got a strikeout and a flyout to left field to end the game.

Cal Poly (9-14, 4-9 ) closed the series with a 6-5 win in the nonconference finale. Shelby Jeffries delivered a walk-off single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh.
