Moanalua's Andrew Oasay attempts to slide into home plate ahead of the throw against Maui.

Moanalua jumped out to an early lead and Tanner Inouye and Dez Oki-Takahashi combined on a six-hitter in a 5-1 win over Maui to advance to the quarterfinals of the Wally Yonamine Foundation/HHSAA Division I Baseball Championships.

Andrew Oasay's double in the bottom of the first highlighted a three run inning for Na Menehune, who chased Maui starter Parker Maxwell after just a single inning of work.

The bottom half of the Moanalua order accounted for 6 of the 8 team's hit total, with Oasay, Randy Tabura and Dilan Casupang each with a pair of base knocks.

Inouye pitched six strong innings, allowing just one run on four hits. He struck out one and walked one to earn the victory.
