TUTURAMZ continue to climb the ladder in the 2024 Budweiser Belau Amateur Softball Association League as they edged Peleliu, 18-16, at the Dandan baseball field on Sunday.

Down 0-5 in the bottom half, TutuRamz had a scoring opportunity with a runner on third base, but with one out already in the bag, Peleliu denied the chance with a double play to end the inning.
Peleliu continued their dominance in the top of the second with a series of RBI singles earned by Walter Macarnas, Mark Toves, Cartfield Sablan and John Terlaje to further stretch the gap by adding five more runs.
TutuRamz finally broke the silence in the bottom of the second inning with a two-run homer by Mike Techur to cut the deficit, 2-10.

In all, TutuRamz scored 14 runs to take over the lead, 16-11.
Peleliu put up a fight with three runs made in the top of the fourth inning, but TutuRamz scored two in the bottom to remain afloat, 18-14.
Peleliu closed the distance with one run scored in the fifth and another in the seventh, but TutuRamz eventually gathered the three outs needed to end the game, 18-16.
