THE Deloitte&Touche/ San Antonio Dragons and the A’s entered the win column in the Majors division of the 2007 Saipan Little League Baseball tournament after beating separate foes last Sunday at the Miguel “Tan Ge” Basa Pangelinan Ballfield.
The Dragons downed the Jets, 13-6, after three complete innings, to notch their first victory after four matches.
Jonathan Ignacio led the Dragons going 3-for-3 at the plate with two inside-the-park homeruns and two RBIs.
The A’s played in the first game last Sunday and edged the Little Legals in six innings, 24-19, for their first win in four games.
Featured in the second match were the Chalan Kanoa Bears against McDonald’s with the latter pulling off a 10-9 victory after five and a half innings.
Patrick Tenorio went 3-for-4 with two runs to lift McDonald’s to a one-point win.
The Mobil/Kagman Aztecs had an easier win in the third match, blanking the Ol’Aces II, 5-0.
Ricardo Dela Cruz pitched for the Aztecs in five innings and had eight strikeouts. Leroy Regis relieved him at the top of the sixth and posted two strikeouts.
In other division results, the Pirates won in the Junior League, the Jets prevailed in the Seniors and the Hustlers triumphed in the Big League.
The Pirates whipped the Ol’Aces, 15-6, while the Jets topped the Hustlers, 10-3.
The Hustlers and the Pirates played only one inning last Sunday in the Big League with the former scoring a run to eke out a 7-6 victory.
The first six innings of the Hustlers-Pirates tiff were played last Friday with the game tied at 6-all. The game was suspended due to a scheduled match in the 2007 Budweiser Saipan Major League baseball tournament at the Francisco “Tan Ko” Palacios Ballfield.
