Video: [http://youtube.com/watch ]

01:30 a.m. HST, Dec 19, 2010 | Zachary Manago, 18, was pronounced dead, A bright and promising Hawaii Pacific University student and former high school baseball star out for an around-the-island ride was the victim of a hit-and-run accident near Wahiawa late Friday night.

Police said the driver of the vehicle that hit Manago sped away.

Members of the baseball and bicycling communities are mourning the loss of Manago, the ace of the Moanalua High School baseball team. "He was an exceptional athlete who took care of business on and off the field," said Scott Yamada, Moanalua's coach, who made Manago one of two team captains last year. "As a teammate, everybody loved him. He had no enemies." When Manago was a junior, the team made it to the quarterfinals largely as a result of his arm, Yamada said. "He was a leader by example," Yamada said. "He was such a hard-working kid. You wanted to root for a kid like that." [http://staradvertiser.com/hawaii] & [http://msnbc.com]
