JAMM AQUINO \/ FEB. 14<\/p>\n

Hawaii pitcher Hekili Robello works against the Gonzaga Bulldogs last month in Honolulu. Robello lead the Hawaii baseball team to a 3-1 victory over UC Santa Barbara today in California.<\/p>\n

Hekili Robello allowed three hits over 8 1\/3 innings to lead the Hawaii baseball team to a 3-1 victory over UC Santa Barbara today at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium in Santa Barbara, Calif.<\/p>\n

Robello, who was pulled after issuing a one-out walk in the ninth, fell short in pitching the second complete game in Rich Hill\u2019s 231 games as UH head coach.<\/p>\n

The Rainbows Warriors clinched the three-game Big West series by winning the first two contests. First pitch is 10 a.m. for Sunday\u2019s series finale.<\/p>\n

Designated hitter Garrett Greco\u2019s two-run single in the second inning staked the \u2018Bows to a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

In the seventh, UH\u2019s Tate Shimao raced home from third on a delayed steal. Shimao initially was called out, but after a video challenge, it was ruled catcher Nico Libed whiffed on an attempted sweep tag.<\/p>\n

Robello struck out eight and did not face more than five batters in an inning before yielding to reliever John Alkire.<\/p>\n
