ONLY one match in the Majors
division of the 2007 Saipan Little League Baseball tournament was completed
last Sunday, while the three remaining games were suspended due to the
unplayable condition at the Miguel Tan Ge Basa Pangelinan
Ballfield.
According to SLLB statistician Roque Celis, officials decided to call
off the three remaining games in the Majors division because of too much
dust. On Sunday afternoon, the island started to experience strong winds
due to tropical storm Kong Rey 01W, which yesterday afternoon was upgraded
to a typhoon.
The Toyota Matrix and Kagman Mobil Aztecs played the lone match in the
Majors with the latter posting a 13-6 victory.
Leroy Reyes led the Aztecs win going 5-for-5 at the plate. The Aztecs
pitcher also had a cycle, two doubles, a triple, a homer, four runs and
three RBIs.
Greg Iskawa was also perfect at the plate hitting 2-for-2.
The three postponed games were the Tanapag Braves against the Bank of
Saipan Red Sox in the second match, the OlAces I vs the Chalan Kanoa
Bears and the Hustlers against McDonalds.
In other results over the weekend, the PTI Fielders cruised to back-to-back
victories in the Big League.
The Fielders first downed the Twins, 9-4, and then whipped the UMDA Aztecs,
17-7.
Against the Twins, Brandon Santos hit 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI.
Shane Mendiola and Shane Yamada joined forces in the Fielders 10-point
victory over the Aztecs.
Mendiola went 3-for-4 with three runs, a triple, one inside-the-park homer
and three RBIs, while Yamada was perfect at the plate going 3-for-3 with
three runs, one homer, two RBIs and a triple.
Bill Fleming was also perfect at the plate hitting 3-for-3 with a double.
In other Big League results, the Hustlers downed the Northern Angels,
6-2, last Sunday.
In the Juniors division, the Fielders topped the Pirates, 11-5.
The schedule of cancelled games in the Majors division will be announced
later.
