Iolani (2-1) toppled top-ranked Kamehameha (2-1), 10-3 in an Interscholastic League of Honolulu matchup at the Raiders' field on Wednesday afternoon.

Matt Campos led the Raiders going 2-for-3, 2RBI double and scored a pair of runs. Devin Ide went 2-for-3 and an RBI, Everrett Lau went 2-for-2, 2RBI and scored a run. Landen Moran and Cade Yonamine each scored two runs.

The Raiders pounced on the Warriors early to take a 5-0 after the first inning and never looked back.

Campos' RBI double sparked a four run inning in the bottom of the fifth to go up, 9-0. Kamehameha found some life in the sixth inning to score three runs, but could not overcome a big deficit. The Raiders scored one more in the sixth. 

Mason Quinlan led the Warriors going 2-for-3 and an RBI, Logan Salcedo went 2-for-4 and scored a run.

The Raiders look to continue the momentum as they face second-ranked Saint Louis on Friday night at Ala Wai Field. The Warriors look to rebound against sixth-ranked Punahou at Central Oahu Regional Park on Saturday.
