The Waiakea graduate got the final six outs Friday night in his second save, and the University of Hawaii beat Cal State Northridge 1-0 in Honolulu.
LJ Brewster (5-3) struck out five and allowed only three hits and a walk.
UH (13-23, 4-6 Big West), which stopped a four-game slide, scored its run in the first on a wild pitch after Stephen Ventimilia led off with a single and two walks loaded the bases.

The Rainbow Warriors (23-4, 18-3 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) still have a chance at earning the regular-season title if they can beat BYU on Saturday and get a UC Irvine loss to UC San Diego.
