The UH-Hilo baseball team lost a doubleheader to Cal State Baptist 14-2 and 9-8 on Thursday in Riverside, Calif., extending its losing streak to eight straight games.
It was incorrectly reported the other day that the Vulcans had a 16-game losing skid.

With the twinbill loss to the Lancers, the Vuls have now lost 17 of their last 18 games.
UHH (6-23) has 18 games left and would need to go undefeated to snap a collegiate record 23-year losing streak that covers the NCAA Division I and II and NAIA levels.
It is UHH coach Kallen Miyataki’s second season. The Vuls finished 14-33 last year.
In the 14-2 Game 1 loss, Sam Kim had two of UHH’s five hits.
Chris Hubocan (0-3) gave up seven runs on seven hits and one walk in 1 1/3 innings in the loss. Jordan Kumasaka followed and allowed five runs in 2 1/3 innings on seven hits and two walks.
Freshman right-hander Cole Nakachi was the most effective pitcher with 4 1/3 innings of two-run ball.
