WAIPAHU - Top-ranked Campbell got a complete team effort and capitalized on Kailua mistakes in a convincing 9-3 win Saturday night to capture its second consecutive O'ahu Interscholastic Association Red baseball championship.

An enthusiastic crowd of about 400 at rustic Hans L'Orange Park watched the Sabers (14-1) score in five their six offensive innings to win their fourth overall league crown and earn a seeded berth in the Division I state tournament May 13-16 at Les Murakami Stadium.

"This is a great group of kids," said 11th-year Campbell coach Rory Pico, who played for the Sabers 1995 championship team. "They worked very hard and they deserve to be champions."

Of the 19 players on the team, only two are seniors. Rght fielder/first baseman Zachary Recolan is the only senior starter. The eight other starters Saturday night are juniors. Most have played with each other since they were in grade school. Most played on the 2010 PONY Bronco World Series championship team.

"We've playing with each other since we were six years old," said junior third baseman/pitcher Kila Kapihe, who had two hits, including a triple, and scored twice. "It's good playing with them still."

The No. 6 Surfriders (11-4) were trying to win their first title since 2012, but were hampered by errors that led to three unearned runs.

"Offensively, we did a pretty good job of executing our game plan," Pico said. "They gave us some extra outs. We were able to drive guys in when they were in scoring position."

Nearly every Campbell starter reached base, scored a run or drove in one. Starting pitcher Dorrien Villanueva-Hermosura was double trouble for the Surfriders with six strikeouts in five innings, allowing three runs and four hits. He was 3 for 4 at the plate, including a double.

"It's exciting," Villanueva-Hermosura said. "Coaches pushed us. We fought for what we wanted. We did it. We made it happen."

Ian Kahaloa, who threw 135 pitches in a nine-inning complete game win against Kaiser in Thursdaty's quarterfinals, pitched a solid sixth inning, using 11 pitches to strike out two and get the other out on a pop to shortstop.

"He said he felt good," Pico said. "His legs were a little tired. Today, he said, 'Coach, I can throw seven (innings.).' I said, 'You don't have to throw seven. How about one?' If we didn't have to use him, we wouldn't have used him. My plan was to go with Keola (Himan) first, but the way the lineup was - he was on the field and couldn't get loose - but Ian got loose and gave us the one inning that I asked him."

"I only needed the one day rest," Kahaloa said. "My arm doesn't get hurt, just my legs. I felt good, actually."

Starting left fielder Himan, a Kailua transfer, was the only Saber to not reach base. But he threw a scoreless seventh to put the game away against his former teammates.

"I wanted Keola to get on the mound as much as possible," Pico said.. "He hadn't gotten on the mound in the tournament and I wanted him to get some time."

Himan was happy to get on the mound. A back injury limited pitching outings for him during the regular season.

"They had a couple hits, but luckily my defense backed me up out there," Himan said.

Unlike Kailua, Campbell made the defensive plays when it needed to to aid Himan in the seventh. With a runner on second with one out, Jameson White singled up the middle, but the Sabers' defense got White trying to take second on the throw home. Catcher Tryzen Rene Patricio took the throw from center fielder Dewayne Sprinkel and gunned down White on the throw back to second. Himan got the last batter on the grounder to end the game.

The Surfriders started Royce Komesu on one-day's rest; he threw a complete-game win against Waipahu in Thursday's quarterfinals in a game that was called after five innings because of the 10-run rule. He lasted 2 1/3 innings, allowing six runs and five hits, but was victimized by two of the errors that accounted for three unearned runs.

Kailua had only three hits, but half were for triples. Peter Kanoho, Dalton Kalama and White each had one.

Right off the bat, Campbell cashed in on the first of three Kailua errors. Jobe Ibana reached first when second baseman Brendan Odo's bobbled a grounder. Sprinkel's sacrifice moved Ibana to second and an out later, scored on Hermosura's line single to center to give Campbell a 1-0 lead.

In the second, Kapihe led off by getting hit by a Komesu pitch, stole second, went to third on Blayze Arcana-Llacuna grounded out to first and scored when Jake Mendoza reached on third baseman Lawson Faria's two-base throwing error. Mendoza would score on Recolan's single that deflected off shortstop Dustin Imanaka's glove. Recolan took second on the throw home. After taking third when Ibana grounded out to third, Recolan scored on Sprinkel's single to make it 4-0.

The Sabers added two in the third. Hermosura reached on a single to first. Courtesy runner Kainoa Ganancial stole second and scored on Kapihe's triple to left-center. Komesu was relieved by Noah Ah Yat, who walked Arcana. After Arcana stole second, Kapihe scored on Mendoza's sacrifice fly to right to make it 6-0.

Hermosura, had retired eight in a row after Peter Kanoho led off the game with a single, only to be doubled off after a fly out to right, was tagged hard in the fourth. Kanoho led off with a triple to left-center and scored when Odo grounded out to first. Kalama tripled to right and courtesy runner Matthew Hanano scored on a wild pitch to pull Kailua to 6-2.

In the fifth, led off with a triple to left-center and scored when pinch hitter Wade Lono grounded out to short. But Hermosura settled down by striking out the next to batters to keep it 6-3.

Hermosura helped his own cause at the plate. He led off the fifth with a double to right, ending Ah Yat's night. Courtesy runner Ganancial stole second before Patricio walked. Joseph Tsuha, Patricio's courtesy runner, stole second, but both runners had to hold their bases when Kapihe grounded out on a nice stop by shortstop Imanaka. But a wild pitch with Arcana at the plate made it 7-3.

Campbell added two in the sixth. Ibana led off with a walk, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Kahaloa's single over second against a drawn-in infield. Courtesy runner Ganancial stole second and went to third when Hermosura reached on Imanaka's fielding error. Patricio's sacrifice fly made it 9-3.
