With Kuich Damian contributing a two-run double, Saipal prevailed to cling to this season’s Top 5 slots.
Cliffton Siliil led off a double, Hector Efraim and Payton Sakuma walked to load the bases before Martin hit the sky sharp enough to send them all to the home plate.
Kaipat was also heating up as blasted a three-run home run to help Hitz close-in during the bottom of the second inning.
Both teams unleashed their smoldering defense sending each other to lopsided games at-bat.
The Saipal sluggers however managed to inched their way forward with run-scoring single from Leo Bobai in the top of the fifth inning and finally the two-run double from JD Dikito in the top of the sixth.
A delayed retaliation to Martin’s grand slam came as Kaipat fired it in the bottom of the six sending Manny Cabrera, Lee Mokeya and Mario Fitial home.
Jason Hayes caught Monkeya’s fly ball and relief pitcher Payton Sakuma struck out Fitial and Saipal denied Hitz the chance to bounce back.
