Hawaiian infield

 Marc Flores has continued where he left off over the summer, leading the University of Hawaii baseball team in home runs and runs batted in this spring.
  Flores, the co-Player of the Year in the Northwoods Collegiate Summer League last year, has three homers and 25 runs batted in through Hawaii’s first 30 games.
The 6-foot-5 senior first baseman is also hitting .303 for the Warriors -- who play in the Big West Conference -- leading the team in doubles, extra base hits and total bases.
A former King City High and Hartnell College slugger, Flores has handled 300 out of 302 chances at first base.
Teammate Stephen Ventimilia has cooled a bit after a torrid run that raised his average over 100 points, hitting .281 for Hawaii.
The junior second baseman has been a table setter near the top of the order.
Ventimilia, who played seven sports during his time at Monterey, recently had a six-game hitting streak snapped for Hawaii.
