Swift wins for Man Amigos, Island Rebels

Short stop Peter Sablan drove-in six runs as he homered twice and scored three runs to lead the Man Amigos in beating the Calikano Falcons, 17-7.

John Terlaje and Eric Palacios walked, then, Jerry Ayuyu hit an RBI single before Sablan drove-in a run on a throwing error to cut the deficit just good enough to move ahead after one complete inning.

Center fielder Joe Torres and left fielder James Fleming caught fly balls to keep Mario Salas stranded in the third base and the Falcons, scoreless in the top of the second inning.

Terlaje and Palacios hit an RBI apiece, Ayuyu doubled before Sablan hit his three-run home run and JJ Laniyo added a solo home run to cap their six-run bottom of the second.
