Kayangel seizes second place from Ngerbeched

By Nazario Rodriguez Jr.

Kayangel recovered from a slow start to beat Ngerbeched, 14-6, on Tuesday night and seized the second spot to fortify its bid for a playoff berth in the 2007 Palau Major League at the Asahi Field.
This even as league-leading PCC Mesekiu further widened its gap from the rest of the field with 18-1 after beating Koror, 22-2, in a mercy rule after only the third inning.
Mesekiu has virtually clinched the 2007 PML pennant with a masterful 12-3 victory over Airai the other week.
The K Angels are now 13-5 and relegated Ngerbeched in third with 13-6.
Kayangel lagged behind by one run from the first inning to fourth inning but Homer Hesus, Hadley Hesus and Blelai Tomei put the Angles for the first time infront at 5-4.
Eric Kyota, 2005 Male Athlete awardee for baseball, and Thomas Rumong scored each on top of the sixth for Ngerbeched but Poch Osima nd Dexter Sadang made it 7-6 for Kayangel.
Then in the bottom of the seventh, Hadley, Blanco Rodrick and Homer scored in succession for Kayangel and tightened its defense on the way to the win.
Also in the ninth inning, Wiseman Kumaichi, Sadang Osarch, Osioma and Dexter reached homeplate to put the icing on the cake.
