2023 Opening Night gets away from Hawaii baseball team against Wright State
HONOLULU — Against the odds, the rains relented and the 2023 college baseball season began on schedule at Les Murakami Stadium.
Host Hawaii and visiting Wright State both claimed to be ready Friday, rain or shine, but only one proved it on the field. The Raiders of the Horizon League jumped out fast and didn’t allow the Rainbow Warriors time to get settled in an 8-3 decision on Opening Night.
Sophomore left-hander Harry Gustin got the nod as part of a completely built starting rotation, but lasted only 3 2/3 innings. The second batter of the game, Julian Greenwell, put one over the centerfield fence.
