THE Wells Fargo/As Matuis
Twins made short work of the As, who conceded in their last Saturdays
game in the 2007 Saipan Little League Baseball tournament at the Miguel
Tan Ge Basa Pangelinan Ballfield after only two complete innings.
The Twins were leading 32-1 at the bottom of the second inning, when the
As decided not to continue the game, go home and prepare to bounce
back in their next game this weekend.
The Twins pitcher Junah Flores allowed no runs in the first inning,
which ended with the As Matuis-based team leading, 6-0.
The As scored their first run at the bottom of the second courtesy
of David Muna, but the Twins were already miles away, as they made 26
runs at the top of the second.
The victory was the Twins third in a row, while the As remained
winless in three games.
Zack Aldan went 3-for-4 at the plate with four runs and two doubles. Phil
Litulimar also went 3-for-4 with four runs, one homerun and two triples.
This was the second time that the Mel Sakisat-mentored Twins scored more
than 30 runs. On Feb. 26, the Twins clobbered the OlAces I, 31-6.
Only three games were played last Saturday with the Pirates and defending
champion SAIPANCELL Patriots winning over the PTI Jets and the Mobil Kagman
Aztecs, respectively.
Last Sunday, only one match was played, as continuous rain prevented organizers
from proceeding with the three other scheduled games.
The Tanapag Braves blanked the OlAces I, 13-0.
Ricky Joe Riungel pitched in no relief for four innings, while Jothan
Camacho was perfect at the plate going 2-for-2 and scoring three runs,
two RBIs and one homerun.
Nick JR Jones also helped the Braves cause going 2-for-3 with two
runs and one triple.
In the Juniors division, the Fielders slipped past the Tanapag Warriors,
8-7.
