Last year’s runner-up Airai rolled to its second straight win on Tuesday night Jan. 16 by beating Ngardmau, 5-2, in the 2007 Palau Major League at the Asahi Field.
Earlier, the 2004 champion Airai Aces won over Ngerbeched, 9-2, in the opening match of the season on Jan 8.
Ngerbeched, however, bounced back with a 10-3 victory over Kayangel last Wednesday Jan. 17.
Kayangel failed to duplicate its earlier win over new team Ngerbeches, 14-2.
Due to continuous rains last week, a total of five games were already affected.
As of presstime last night, Ngaraard Red Torch led at 6-4 after the bottom of third inning in its game against an equally young team Koror.
Koror is the defending back-to-back champion but the nucleus of its roster of players the previous seasons dispersed to the other teams.
Most of them went to PCC Mesekiu and Ngerbeched.
PCC is set to play against Ngardmau in today’s lone game.
Tomorrow’s doubleheader will be played between Airai and Ngaraard and between Ngerbeched and Ngerbeches.
