Tribune-Herald Athlete of the Week: Boston Matsu

Boston Matsu • baseball

The Hilo Pony All-Stars only played three games at the state PONY League baseball tournament, but Matsu got in a full tournament’s worth of hitting.

The freshman at Kamehameha collected seven hits (.636), with a triple, two doubles and six runs scored from the leadoff spot.

Perhaps most memorably, he played a key role as Hilo rallied from a 12-run deficit to win Saturday.
